What do I need Stackfield for?
Stackfield enables overall faster, more pleasant, flexible and productive communication and collaboration, taking into account the highest data protection requirements (Security).
Intelligent cooperation e.g. through:
- Information coherent, structured and in the most current version in a central location
- Overview through automated daily routines and reports
- Clear responsibilities
- Simple and intuitive operability, without technical or IT knowledge
The context and overview are not lost through numerous e-mails or other forms of exchange.
