Fresh Intranet

What Fresh Intranet does

Fresh Intranet, operated by Advania UK Limited, is a SharePoint-native intranet-in-a-box platform that transforms Microsoft 365 environments into branded, governed digital workplaces without requiring customers to leave the Microsoft ecosystem. The product is built natively on SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Viva Connections, with all customer content remaining inside the customer's own M365 tenant; Fresh Fabric defines the intranet boundary and enforces taxonomy and governance, while FreshMind AI (powered by Azure OpenAI) provides scoped natural-language search, content creation assistance, metadata auto-generation, and AI analytics. The offering bundles news and communications, community and collaboration, personalization, governance, mobile access for frontline workers, newsletters, and search into a single subscription with no feature tiers or add-on fees for the core platform.

The platform is sold exclusively through a certified partner network spanning the UK, Canada, Finland, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and the USA, with deployment delivered via the Fresh Connect web portal in as little as 1-4 weeks for quick-start engagements. Pricing is annual subscription per user, with separate implementation services handled by partners; the minimum recommended deployment is 1,000 users, scaling to 140,000+ employees in a single tenant. Named customers include TD Bank (60,000+ employees), Wawa (30,000+ associates across 900+ stores), Heathrow Airport, the UK's Metropolitan Police, KPMG, DLA Piper, and McCann Worldgroup, spanning banking, retail, aviation, government, professional services, and legal verticals. Fresh has earned consecutive ClearBox Intranet Choice Winner awards in 2025 and 2026, with the latter adding AI Innovator and Strong Knowledge & Search badges.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Viva: Microsoft Viva is Microsoft's native employee experience platform within M365, including Viva Connections (intranet), Viva Engage (communities), Viva Learning and Viva Insights. It is the built-in incumbent that competes directly with Fresh's core value proposition.
• AvePoint: AvePoint is a Microsoft 365 data management, governance and migration platform whose Intranet/Involv solutions compete in the same buyer conversations as Fresh. It is a broader M365 incumbent with overlapping intranet capabilities alongside a much larger data platform portfolio.

Direct peers

• LumApps: LumApps is a digital workplace platform supporting Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Slack, offering intranet, communications and employee experience. It is comparable to Fresh on intranet functionality but differentiated by multi-ecosystem support.
• Wizdom: Wizdom is a SharePoint-native intranet-in-a-box platform providing news, communications, document management and employee engagement for M365 organizations. It is a close functional peer to Fresh in the SharePoint intranet layer category.
• Simpplr: Simpplr is an AI-powered intranet and employee experience platform with native Microsoft 365, SharePoint and Teams integration. It competes head-to-head with Fresh on AI-driven knowledge management and personalized content delivery to M365 enterprises.
• Unily: Unily is an employee experience platform built natively on Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, offering branded intranets, communications, and engagement tools. It is the most directly comparable SharePoint intranet-in-a-box competitor to Fresh, targeting the same large enterprise M365 buyers.

Emerging players

• Staffbase: Staffbase is an employee experience platform combining intranet, internal communications and a mobile employee app. It overlaps with Fresh on M365-integrated intranets and frontline communications, with particular strength in deskless-worker use cases.
• Igloo Software: Igloo Software is an intranet and digital workplace platform. It is comparable to Fresh on intranet functionality but typically serves mid-market and non-SharePoint-centric deployments, placing it as an adjacent rather than direct competitor.
• Jostle: Jostle is an employee intranet platform focused on internal communications, culture and recognition. It overlaps with Fresh on intranet fundamentals for small-to-mid organizations but lacks Fresh's SharePoint-native enterprise depth.

Regional players

• Beekeeper: Beekeeper is a frontline-worker-focused communication and operations platform with strong adoption in European markets. It is comparable to Fresh's Frontline Workers module but is primarily mobile-first rather than SharePoint-native.
