Conferencing

The Conferencing module is a multifunctional communication tool that allows users in different locations to hold real-time face-to-face meetings online. It has chatboard, Whiteboard and video conferencing functionalities. Participants can use these components to exchange texts, video, audio, and images in real time. In mobile applications, participation is possible with a cell phone, tablet or data glasses. All actions performed are stored "audit proof" in the history. It is always clear to see who did what and when (when was a comment made, when was a Whiteboard created, etc.)

Chat Types


Service Case Chat

These chat rooms are always in the context of a service case. Each watcher of the service case is automatically part of the related chat room. Service case chats are the only possiblity to chat between users of different tenants e.g. between the machine operator of the operating company and the service technician of the service provider of the machine.

Group Chat

It is possible to chat with multiple users of the same tenant in group chats to share information or set up group calls.

Direct Chat 

Direct Chats are chats between two users of the same tenant.



It is only possible to communicate with users of other tenants in the context of the service case. Direct chats and group chats are only possible within the own company. This shall protect especially service provider users to be directly and personally contacted by their customers.
