Any organization with multiple teams working together should have a robust system in place for collaboration and transparency. Zoho TeamInbox gives its users just that. Receiving messages in one place and collaborating over them in another place can be chaotic. Zoho TeamInbox is built with the intent to bridge this gap between external communication and internal collaboration. Conduct discussions with your team and collaborate over threads—all without switching apps and losing context.
Why is team collaboration important?
Strong collaboration within a team is crucial for several reasons besides the fact that it plays a fundamental role in the functioning of any organization. Here are a few reasons:
Increased efficiency and productivity
When you're assigned to a task and need help with a specific part, you can pull a colleague into the conversation, live chat with them, and get your answers. This reduces a duplication of efforts and prevents the need for you to reinvent the wheel, allowing you to do more in less time. Now, with Zoho TeamInbox, you don't have to leave your inbox to collaborate with your team—making everything easier.
Better decision-making
Important decisions should be made together as a team. Collaborative decision-making allows for a broader range of perspectives to be considered, letting you make well-informed decisions. With Zoho TeamInbox, you can keep these discussions right next to the thread, maintain the context of your conversations, and sort them under specific topics, making them trackable in the future.
Skill sharing
When you’re working as part of a team, it’s important for the members to share ideas and help each other with their own expertise. This will benefit both the individuals and the organization by immediately solving the problem at hand and facilitating continuous learning and development. The Discussions feature in Zoho TeamInbox allows you to brainstorm topics with your team.
User scenario
Let's look at the user journey of a five-member marketing team. When a new email is received, any member of the team (which could be whoever is available at the moment) can read through the email and delegate it to the proper member responsible. Here’s how the team collaborates over an incoming email.
The marketing team receives a request to create social media buzz about a new product launch.
The email is assigned to Mark, the digital marketer of the team.
Mark brainstorms his work plan with the team.
To finalize his work plan, Mark schedules a meeting with the team.
After finalizing his work plan, Mark drafts an email and shares it with Amy, his manager, for approval.
Once Amy approves the copy, Mark sends out the reply email.
Wrapping up
With Zoho TeamInbox, you don't have to work in silos anymore. Sharing your processes and updates with your teammates is now easy and hassle-free.
