Haiilo is your digital home, keeping employees connected, engaged, and aligned. In 2025, we made comms easier, faster, and more impactful so you can focus on people, not tools.
Internal communicators are under pressure from tighter timelines, constant information overload and the complexity of reaching a hybrid workforce. That is exactly why our focus this year has been to help you do more with less. We’ve made Haiilo faster to use, easier to manage and smarter at reaching the right people with the right information. Let’s take a look at what we’ve achieved together in the first half of 2025.
Our product vision: Built for how you actually work
Finding the right information, keeping content up to date, and reaching employees with what actually matters can feel overwhelming, especially across offices, remote setups and mobile teams.
Haiilo makes it simple. We bring everything into one intuitive digital home so employees stay connected without switching apps or digging through folders. Smart automation keeps content management light while personalized targeting ensures people only see what is relevant to them. With built-in analytics, you get clear insights into engagement without extra tools or complexity.
1. See what works with Haiilo Analytics — and improve fast
We’ve reimagined Haiilo Analytics to make it easier for you to understand what’s working and where to improve. It’s not just about data anymore, it’s about decisions you can act on.
With a fully integrated dashboard, you can now navigate insights without leaving your platform. New summary views help you spot key trends at a glance, and updated export options let you share the exact data your team needs. If you haven’t made the switch yet, now is the perfect time to upgrade and unlock the full potential of your communication data.
2. Reach everyone with newsletters that bring them back to your intranet
This year, we delivered a powerful new way to connect with your teams: Haiilo Newsletters. Designed to cut through the noise and actually engage your people, this feature helps you create on-brand newsletters that look great and land with impact, no design skills required.
From ready-made templates to seamless integration with your platform and tech stack, Haiilo Newsletters save time and boost reach. Whether your colleagues are at a desk, on the move, or working remotely, your message finds them in a format they’ll actually want to read. It’s all about simplifying internal comms and turning every email into a moment of connection.
3. Digital Signage in Studio: Keep everyone in the loop
Managing screen content is now easier than ever. With the new Digital Signage Management area in Studio, comms teams can create, edit, and organize digital signage directly where they already work.
Studio users can now manage everything in one place: set up central screen management by location, customize screen settings like name, language, QR code, transitions, and duration, and quickly assign published or scheduled Studio posts to any screen.
This update gives admins and comms teams full control of Digital Signage content directly in Studio. It is a smarter, more streamlined way to keep non-desk employees in the loop, whether they are in the lobby, on the shop floor, or in the break room.
4. A more personal start for every new colleague
Helping new team members feel at home from day one is crucial. That’s why we’ve redesigned the onboarding experience on the Social Intranet to be more intuitive, more personal, and much more helpful.
Now, every new colleague is guided through a customisable onboarding flow. They can choose their preferred language, follow suggested colleagues, join relevant Communities, and subscribe to key pages right away. It’s all about giving them a smooth and confident start that helps them connect faster, feel welcome, and engage more naturally in your Digitale Heimat.
5. End the app-hopping: Microsoft 365 widgets that keep work in one place
In the past months, we’ve made big strides in bringing Haiilo and Microsoft 365 even closer together so you and your teams can focus less on switching tools and more on making an impact.
You now get more out of your Microsoft ecosystem, directly in your digital home: user data stays in sync automatically, secure access is a given with SSO, and your teams can find, share, and watch Microsoft files and videos right inside Haiilo. From managing Planner tasks to answering Forms, embedding Haiilo in Teams, or syncing events with Outlook, it’s all now more connected, intuitive, and ready to support how your people actually work.
6. Give employees a voice: A smarter way to highlight what matters.
We’ve improved the commenting experience to help important messages stay visible and easy to find. Whether it’s an FAQ, a key update, or a helpful reply, you can now make sure it gets the attention it deserves.
With the new pinning feature, content authors, admins, and moderators can highlight one comment per post, article, or file. A confirmation step adds security when deleting comments, and permissions are clear and easy to manage. It’s a small update with a big impact on how your teams communicate and engage with content. Because communication works best when it’s a conversation, this update makes sure important voices don’t get lost.
What’s next for your Digital Home in 2025
Looking ahead to the second half of 2025, we’re continuing to invest in personalization, intelligent automation, and even tighter integration with your everyday tools. Stay tuned, your Digital Home is about to get even smarter.
You’ll soon be able to:
- Gain deeper insights into your communication: Understand how newsletters and content perform so you can make smarter decisions, powered by advanced analytics dashboards that turn engagement data into action.
