With our modular design, you can quickly turn on and off features to provide the best user experience possible to your employees.

The most important part of MangoApps for us was that it was easy to use and that it was modular, so we could start small and use additional options and functionality to grow the platform. With MangoApps, we found all those functionalities within one tool.

Wide Breadth Of Features

With MangoApps, your employees will receive an intranet platform that has all the features your employees want and need.

Over 15 years ago, we had a really forward-looking IT team that built an intranet, but it was all hard-coded. Nobody could change the content except the IT department. It was great in concept but horrible in execution, because items would go out of date quickly and people had a hard time getting accurate information.

Skip out on the expensive IT and engineering developer hours associated with managing a custom-built intranet.
With MangoApps, you receive an intranet solution that will likely cost you less than you’re spending now in upkeep.

Our modular approach and pricing means that you can start with a lean solution that addresses a specific use case, and add more functionality down the road if needed.
There’s no more weighing your needs against development eam hours, no new implementation costs, no buying cycle—just flip the switch to turn on a feature.
If you’re looking for a solution that extends beyond an intranet, we provide communication, collaboration, and training solutions that all integrate into the same platform!
