Qiscus is a messaging system for work.

It has a familiar messaging


interface yet is powerful enough to power collaborative efforts in enterprises. It is
designed to mimic working environments by allowing users to structure their
teams or projects in room-based discussion system thereby removing the need
for other communication tools such as emails, messaging or video chat.
Its quite common nowadays to see companies made up largely of remote
workers (Tech in Asia does it!). When that happens, you better have a really good
communication tool to make sure everybody can work seamlessly in a
centralized online workspace. Thats why many work-related messaging apps are
popping up these days, such as Flowdock, Hall, Hip Chat, Convo, and Slack.
Qiscus is a messaging system designed for work. Now on android mobile to help
you stay in touch with your colleagues and creates great legacies anywhere. Its
has a beautiful & easy-to-use messaging interface. It is light so that you can
communicate on-the-go even with unstable internet connection.
Topics in qiscus allow you to structure your group conversation neatly. Qiscus will
also pull out the files and links added to your conversation to help you keep track
of work better. Qiscus passive notifications ensure that you are always on track
without being overwhelmed, to get more work done, access Qiscus on the web
for a full-suite of collaborative features. Now theres a new one from Indonesia
called Qiscus. Its created by a Singapore and Yogyakarta startup and looks quite
similar to its rivals, allowing you to chat and work with your colleagues in
multiple rooms.
Qiscus basic package lets unlimited numbers of people use it for free, while the
premium package offers more features like video calling and email integration.
Its all aimed at a global audience, with the premium level priced at S$8 (USD
6.4) per month. However, you still get the feeling that the service pales in
comparison to the bigger boys like Slack, which has a load of integration options
with other important work apps such as Dropbox, IFTTT, and Mailchimp. Another
thing missing in Qiscus is its lack of direct one-on-one chatting or any notification
settings. When asked about how the startup plans to convince people to use this
app rather than one of numerous rivals, co-founder Evan Purnama says that they
believe Qiscus flexibility to easily invite and communicate with other users in
different chat rooms is be a good selling point. Although other platforms offer
similar flexibility, Qiscus indeed involves fewer clicks to create new chatrooms
and invite other users to enter.
One of the things in the development pipeline for Qiscus is a more air-tight
security system so the platform can be used in high security sectors such as
banks and major corporations. The team is also developing a gamification engine
that will give employers the ability to reward or punish its employees without
looking too naggy or demanding, according to co-founder Amin Nordin.
Qiscus is created by four co-founders who are based in Yogyakarta and
Singapore: Nordin as CEO, Purnama as CTO of products, Delta Purna Widyangga
as CTO of enterprise, and Muhammad Md Rahim as CFO. Qiscus was originally a
feature in the teams previous product called Phi Decks. It was an app to
organize learning systems, which won an award at the IdeasInc Business Plan
Competition back in 2012. The app was looking at the possibilities of replacing
whiteboards, smartboards, visualizers, and textbooks in schools.
