For field service and construction businesses using consumer chat apps
Secure Team Communication with Mattermost
Replace WhatsApp groups with a self-hosted team chat that keeps project data on your own server.
If your team runs project communication through WhatsApp groups, you are mixing sensitive business discussions, project photos, blueprints, and change orders into an endless chat thread on someone else's platform. Site photos from three months ago are impossible to find. When an employee leaves, their phone goes with them and their project history vanishes from the group. Budget discussions and subcontractor arrangements sit on servers you do not control. These are professional communications that deserve professional infrastructure.
Mattermost provides the same chat experience your team already knows, dedicated channels per project or topic, file sharing, search, and mobile apps, but running on your own server. File attachments are stored on your infrastructure with full-text search. Employee offboarding is clean: revoke their account and their message history stays accessible to the team. Integrations can post daily reports or alerts directly into relevant channels. The interface is familiar enough that field staff adopt it without formal training.
You can expect project files to become searchable and organized instead of buried in chat threads. Employee transitions become frictionless. Your professional communications stay on your infrastructure, where they belong. And the monthly per-user chat app subscription is replaced by a platform you control.
