Ekko app

What Ekko app does

Ekko app, operated by the Danish private limited company To Echo ApS and headquartered in Skovlunde/Ballerup, Denmark, is a mobile-first employee app and intranet platform founded in 2016. The product is purpose-built for deskless, frontline, hourly, and field-based workers — particularly in construction, transport/logistics, production/manufacturing, and service/cleaning — who lack regular access to a computer or company email. The platform comprises 40+ configurable modules including real-time news (Nyheder), knowledge sharing (Vidensdeling), onboarding, incident and near-miss reporting (Rapportering), social engagement, surveys (Spørgeskema), work environment (Arbejdsmiljø), events, chat groups, gamification, and analytics. Differentiating technical features include auto-translation (Auto Oversæt), text-to-speech (Oplæsning) for dyslexic or low-literacy users, and icon-based navigation designed for low-literacy workforces.

The business model is annual SaaS subscription, quote-priced per employee count with all modules and features bundled into the package along with consulting, customization, and ongoing support. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with a consultative, assisted sales motion targeting mid-market and enterprise customers (tiers span 10–49 up to 1,000+ employees), supplemented by detailed case-study content marketing, a LinkedIn presence, vertical events, and a referral program that rewards customer-sourced leads with a 750 kr gift card. Customer concentration spans 250+ Danish companies covering 50,000+ end-users, with named enterprise customers including Colas, EL:CON, CG Jensen, Partneren, inco Cash & Carry, Otis Denmark, XL-BYG, and NRGi. Achieved engagement outcomes include 60–99% weekly active user penetration and ~3x daily app opens vs. ~1x weekly before deployment, illustrating stickiness among target user segments. The company operates with a lean ~20-person team covering customer success, support, marketing, product, and engineering.

Direct peers

• Beekeeper: Swiss frontline employee app platform offering mobile-first communication, shift management, and document workflows. Competes head-to-head with Ekko in the European deskless-worker category with stronger pan-European reach and venture backing.
• Haiilo: Hamburg-based employee communications and intranet platform (formerly COYO). Comparable product scope covering news, surveys, and mobile app delivery for mixed desk/deskless workforces across Europe.
• Speakap: Dutch employee app platform focused on deskless and frontline workers. Directly comparable to Ekko in product scope (mobile-first communication, news, onboarding, surveys) and in serving a similar European SMB/mid-market segment with vertical specialization.
• Staffbase: German employee experience platform providing intranet, employee app, and internal communications for frontline and office workers. Direct competitor in the European employee-app space with broader enterprise footprint.
• WorkJam: Canadian digital workplace platform for frontline and hourly workers, offering mobile communication, scheduling, and task management. Directly comparable in target buyer (enterprises with deskless workforces) and product philosophy.
• LumApps: French enterprise intranet and employee experience platform with mobile app delivery. Comparable product offering targeting enterprise internal communications buyers across Europe.

Emerging players

• Smarp: Employee communications app focused on reaching non-desk workers with mobile news and updates. Comparable to Ekko's News module and target audience, though smaller scale and narrower product scope.
• Yourco: Frontline employee communication platform combining SMS and mobile app delivery to reach non-smartphone workers. Adjacent to Ekko in the frontline communications category with a complementary channel approach.
• Workday Peakon Employee Voice: Employee engagement and listening platform that overlaps with Ekko's survey/questionnaire module and analytics dashboard. Represents partial overlap from the broader HR-tech incumbent stack.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Viva: Microsoft's employee experience platform bundled with Microsoft 365 covering intranet (Viva Connections), learning, insights, and engagement. Represents the bundled incumbent threat to standalone frontline apps like Ekko.
