This is the type of thing I think would be really useful as a Slack bot - similar to what Large is doing.
Is there any focus on translating this to be used via Slack?
@bentossell Hi Ben Thank you for your question! We already have a slack command. You can type /hivy + (your request) and it is directly sent to your office manager.
Wow! I've been waiting for a simple alternative to zendesk to implement at abemor.com for a while now... It all boils down to this-- can I create requests via some sort of restful API? If yes and if the ux if great (which it seems like it is) you've got a big customer out of me!
@jakemor Thank you!! Hope you will enjoy to try Hivy for abemor.com. Regarding the restful API we will open it soon to public! Will let you know if you are interested.
EDIT. Just saw your response to a similar question. So ignore :-) . Is my impression correct that the core value of the product which is kanban style lists ( todo, doing, done) can be easily accomplished by using the email-to-board feature of trello? So an office manager could just ask everyone to email to the trello board email address and then it's the essentially does the "core" of Hivy. The rest is nice to have.
Hello hunters!
I am Pascaline, founder of Hivy - the app that automates employee happiness. Huge thanks to @collinmathilde for hunting us.
Here are some details regarding Hivy:
Short on coffee? No more ink in the printer? Hivy enables employees to instantly ask for any product or service, via desktop, mobile phone, Slack or iPad, directly notifying their Office Manager.
With Hivyβs SaaS app, Office Managers can run the office more smoothly with less effort to foster a happy workplace for all teammates. Give it a try to change your life at the office!
Weβd love to hear your feedback and happy to answer any question! π
@mischa_van_oijen Thank you for your question! Compared to trello and Jira our aim is to handle request from notification to completion. You can use an iPad, an iPhone, slack with products that can be directly ordered to the Office Manager. Next integration will be Amazon, Office managers will be able to use Hivy like the dash button and order all they need in one click directly from the requests of the employees.
I'm also having a hard time understanding how this is different from a to-do app.
Is a buy button inside the app enough to make the overhead and complexity worth it? I doubt it.
@ebsalberto Thank you Alberto. The buy Button is a first step! Imagine you can buy all what you need for your office directly from the app..π services, ordering food and so on...
@aaronisabaer Thank you! You can use Hivy not only for office management in an office but also for facility management in a building, relations in a shopping gallery, coworking spaces...Only your imagination is the limit ;-)
Office Manager @Evaneos, I've decided to put in place Hivy to help me in my daily tasks. Super easy to use for the employees through an iPad, the iPhone App, website or the slack integration, it really helps me to centralize all the demands, organize them and follow them ! Really useful tool !
@frankdenbow Admins are usually Office Managers or Facility Managers at your company. They receive all the requests, manage them and can assign them to the person in charge of the task.
