Boost engagement

What our clients are saying
We’ve saved hundreds of person hours, just in the last year alone [and] there have been huge cost savings as well.
Farm Bureau Bank
We wanted an open-intranet where every employee had a profile and the rights to add content. We wanted a simple wiki-style tool that made it easy (and fun!) to contribute and engage. ThoughtFarmer had it all.
MD Financial Management
We’ve come a long way in our cultural transformation over the past three years and Beacon continues to play a key role as one of our primary vehicles for providing transparent, timely, two-way communications. I still smile when I hear employees say ‘just check Beacon’.
Central 1 Credit Union
Previously we had really struggled to get information centralized and get it out to people. But employees themselves grabbed hold of this tool.
MEC
Frequently asked questions
Global + local news
Clients love our news feature, because it keeps them updated on everything they want to know including company news, events, and employee updates.
Policies & procedures
Finding important documents shouldn’t be hard; so we’ve made it easy. Our clients often make a “How do I” section on their intranet where they can easily locate internal policies and procedures.
Document Management
Our clients love that any document (think: word, excel, powerpoint etc.) can be opened and edited from within ThoughtFarmer.
Employees profiles, directory & org chart

Photo galleries for community events
Smile! From marketing images to staff events, we make photo galleries simple and beautiful.

Search functionality
Clients enjoy our search capabilities because it helps them find what they need, fast.
