Why Firstup customers are rethinking their comms strategy in 2026

Low audience reach

When an app feels like "just another megaphone," frontline workers quickly tune out. Without actual daily utility, your critical news gets lost in the noise.

Stagnant product innovation

Slow innovation and shrinking support leave communicators unheard. As expectations evolve, Firstup struggles to keep pace with modern platforms.

Costly tool fragmentation

Employees are tired of searching across multiple apps and intranets to find one policy. A fragmented digital workplace isn't just annoying, it’s a barrier to productivity.

Why a global manufacturing leader replaced Firstup with a front door intranet powered by Staffbase

A global manufacturing leader found that Firstup wasn't enough to manage their multichannel needs to reach 130,000 employees. To bridge the gap, they added three systems, creating a fragmented digital landscape, extra work for admins, and added cost for the business.

They consolidated those four tools into one platform with Staffbase. With robust intranet capabilities and an intuitive backend, they replaced "high effort, low impact" work with a reliable, direct line to their whole workforce.
