Ideal Customer
- Speakap's ideal customer profile targets organizations with 500 to 50,000+ employees where 60% or more of the workforce is deskless or frontline — such as retail chains, hospitality groups, manufacturers, and logistics companies.
- The platform serves both mid-market and enterprise segments, and it is particularly well-suited to multi-location or franchise operations that need location-based content targeting and white-labeled branding.
Key Differentiators
- Speakap's primary differentiator is its 'mobile-first, not mobile-also' philosophy — the platform was purpose-built for deskless and frontline workers from day one, unlike most intranet tools designed for desk workers and retrofitted for frontline use.
- Its white-label 'Super-App' architecture lets organizations deploy a fully branded employee app that consolidates communication, onboarding journeys, task management, compliance training, knowledge base, and analytics into a single interface without requiring corporate email addresses.
Industries Served
- Speakap primarily serves industries with large frontline or deskless workforces, including retail, hospitality and restaurants, manufacturing, logistics and transportation, construction, healthcare, entertainment, travel, and automotive.
- The platform has notable customers in retail chains, hospitality groups, and healthcare providers, and its HIPAA compliance makes it suitable for regulated healthcare environments.
Service Coverage
- Speakap operates globally, with office locations in New York (HQ), Amsterdam, London, Barcelona, Cologne, and Brussels.
- The platform is used by over 600 companies across 27+ countries, spanning both North America and Europe as its primary markets, with a strong foothold in Western Europe given its Dutch origins.
Partnerships
- Speakap holds an official UKG Marketplace partnership, integrating with UKG Pro, UKG Ready, and UKG Dimensions for automated user sync and schedule delivery.
- It also integrates with a broad ecosystem of HR and workforce tools including BambooHR, Workday HCM, SAP SuccessFactors, ADP, Paychex, HiBob, Dayforce, and AFAS, as well as scheduling tools like 7shifts, Quinyx, Planday, and tamigo.
Company Size & Ownership
- Speakap was founded in 2011 by co-founders Patrick van der Mijl and Erwin van der Vlist, originally in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
- The company employs approximately 80–100 people as of 2024–2025, with estimated annual revenue reported around $21 million.
Compliance & Certifications
- Speakap holds ISO 27001:2013 certification for its Information Security Management System and has completed a SOC 2 Type II audit by an independent auditor.
