Many companies have developed various programs to improve the way email works. Very few have been successful and among them, Spike has made its mark. It is a collaborative email client – the first of its kind. It provides a platform to connect teams of all sizes, so they can create and work together.

Group tasks can be easily and efficiently accomplished with features like video meetings, audio messages, to-do lists, super search, online notes, etc. File management is also very advanced enabling you to be more productive.

Secondly, the instantaneous results are automatically grouped by ‘People’, ‘Files’, and ‘Threads’.
At the bottom, icons provide quick access to several tools for instance contact list, groups, and a calendar. Icons at the corner of each message provide details of it being successfully delivered and read. The ones at the top represent your most recent and frequent interactions.

Hotkeys are available for almost every function and reduce the time required to perform an activity.
