Zenchat as a WhatsApp Alternative<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

WhatsApp is a free and reliable messaging and calling app, initially created to be the alternative to SMS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The messaging service\u2019s desire is to allow people to communicate and stay in touch with family and friends, anytime and anywhere in the world. There\u2019s no doubt that communication helps sustain relationships, but not every conversation is solely focused on staying connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if there was a feature to differentiate conversational communication from task-oriented chatting? What if important information such as actionable tasks could be tracked in the conversation? What if teams are discussing something that needs a more complicated project management tool to manage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why we\u2019ve created Zenchat, a team messaging and chat solution with integrated task management. As part of our Zenkit Suite, Zenchat is deeply integrated with other products in the Zenkit Suite, including  the original Zenkit Base (project management tool), Zenkit To Do (task management tool), and many more to come. That means team members can easily chat about any projects and tasks, and managers can use sophisticated views for more complex project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Zenkit, we\u2019ve developed an easy to use, yet powerful Suite that evolves and adapts to your needs. If you are looking for a full-featured alternative to WhatsApp, give Zenchat a try!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
