FIRSTPOINT department sites are the backbone of their intranet, enabling each department to upload all their content, forms, documents and knowledge is key.
The department home page show a mix of documents, information, targeted news and signposting for users to view other pages. Within the department site, local navigation shows the user additional important content and information.
With Franchises and Dealerships across many locations, FIRSTPOINT enables users to have a section for each site location. Here they can view all of the related contact info, news, employees and documents.
Engaging employees using a Quick Poll facility for both business and social related topics was an important feature to gain quick and easy feedback from the end-users.
With a diverse workforce not everyone is aware of who is who – using Employee Cards we were able to highlight the team members from a particular franchise with their contact information in addition to a friendly corporate photograph.
Group 1 wanted to highlight key updates that are happening within the company at a group level. They have a dedicated carousel and supporting content boxes with animated hovers to help with user engagement.
All the very latest news, updates and featured news are all located in one place on the homepage for employees to quickly get up to date with what is happening within the organisation.
Important organisational links that all employees will need are located on the right. This is one of the starting points of the FIRSTPOINT employee journey.
Employees can find out everything they need about their fellow employees instantly by typing a name, service or project and see results instantly, enabling better collaboration.
All the latest documents that are added are displayed here so employees can see the latest forms, PDF’s and Office documents in an instant.
Employee recognition is important to any organisation and what better way to do that than placing it on the homepage. Group 1 employee recognition is very important to continuously strengthen their culture.
With Attollo Intranet we have the ability to sub-brand sites, which was a key requirement for franchise owners.
Using their respective brand guidelines, colour palette and fonts we produced a range of branded landing pages for the likes of Audi, BMW, Land Rover and Mercedes Benz. Employees can now find all the related franchise updates, content and information in one place.
Within our dedicated News Centre, editors have the ability to tag news stories by their brand and location for example ‘Audi’ and ‘Watford Audi’ which would target news to both the Audi franchise homepage and the Watford Audi location page.
Using geo-location we display weather information for all the franchise locations which enables them to make decisions such as planning events, trips and car showcasing based on the elements.
