Over the last few years, we've worked (and continue!) with startups of any size, stage, and industry. They could be completely different, but one thing remained ironclad - all their teams used Slack and experienced the same problem - even stronger if they scaled rapidly.

As new roles and duties (and even departments!) appear in the startup, the dependencies between team members get more complex. The employee database management and keeping it up to date becomes a hassle. As a result, a situation may arise when people do not know who is responsible and for what. Productivity suffers, poor decisions are made.

What could be the solution? A smart tool that helps easily create and manage a team directory based on the company's data from Slack. We conducted research, but the conclusions weren't optimistic: either you should do everything manually or buy complex software with 1000+ features and a minimum price of $20 per user.

We understood that small and medium businesses sought a simpler, cheaper alternative and started working on it. After several months, we came up with OrgaNice - a solution that helps companies turn their Slack workspace into a powerful all-in-one source of employee information. So how can OrgaNice make entrepreneurs' lives easier?

Once you set up all the guidelines and rules, you can forget about updating the employee database: it will automatically be kept always relevant. In just a few clicks, each team member can understand who they're working with and what's happening across the company. With informative org charts, everyone clearly understands their roles, subordination, and reporting structure.
