About BrandMail®, developed by BrandQuantum, is a software solution that seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Outlook to empower every employee in the organization to automatically create consistently branded emails via a single toolbar that provides access to brand standards and the latest pre-approved content. Develop email signatures in line with your brand specifications which look consistent, no matter which device or platform they are viewed on. Your signatures are tamper-proof and centrally managed. More importantly, users see their signatures, banners and surveys when they create, reply or forward emails. BrandMail does not reroute your emails via any external servers and does not append rules to your exchange environment. It works directly within Microsoft Outlook. Leverage every email as an opportunity to brand consistently and minimize the security risks associated with the tampering of HTML signatures.

Pros from Real Users Pros I like the whole setup of BrandMail, it's easy to use and navigate. It's straightforward and easy to navigate Centralised signature management, seamless Outlook integration, consistent branding across all users, easy to update organisation-wide, reliable performance, and helpful customer support. The communication was amazing. I always got extremely fast help and super nice employees, who are very competent and helpful. They take time to solve your specific problems and offer creative, fast solutions. I have not experienced such a good working relationship with a company that’s even in a different country. They even went beyond what I wanted and brought in their own creativity. - Centralized control of email signatures and banners ensures consistent brand presentation across the organization - Easy-to-use interface for end users, while giving marketing and admin teams strong governance and control - Ability to run banner campaigns and track engagement adds measurable marketing value to everyday emails - Responsive customer support and onboarding assistance The email signatures works across all devices and email clients. We are also able to offer further information to recipients that we can track. BrandMail allows us to communicate with customers in a uniform, professional manner. It creates a professional look and allows staff use of pre-designed and approved (editable and customizable) templates. BrandMail has proven to be a valuable tool for maintaining brand consistency and streamlining our communication processes. The platform also enables us to manage marketing banners effectively, and the integrated "rate our service" feature provides the added benefit of capturing real-time customer feedback. It is easy to implement, and you can change banners as you need to align with what you want to communicate to your clients. It even allows for multiple banners to be active at the same time. I appreciate how hands-on and communicative the team is. They support you throughout the entire process and offer training to help you gain a better understanding and become more independent. Additionally, they are very patient with their clients. We have been using BrandMail for some months now and am really pleased with the support that we received implementing the product. It is great that we can update employee details via the platform and we appreciate the customisations the team made for us.		Pros from Real Users Pros The best part of this software is that you can handle all of it from your phone as if you were just texting someone. If someone hops on your website and has any questions or concerns a notification comes up on the bottom corner of the page providing a way for the visitor to contact the company. These messages do go straight to the phone of the the individual over the website, which makes the communication personable and quick. Podium has an excellent interface; it has a high quality in sending files, I can send images or audios without losing quality. Besides that, I use it to create more effective communication and with guaranteed security conditions. Podium cloud is incredible for storing information. This is by far the best review gathering platform for Google around. I think they are actually backed by Google. To get all your reviews from different platforms makes it easier and saves time in the process. A very user friendly app which is easy to set up. It makes interactions easy. Using only one platform we can reply to each and every messages. Google, Facebook, Instagram we can easily connect with our customer on any platform using this software. Responses very quickly. Simple and easy to use. Also we can check the history of any customers interaction. Easy to use for both admins & users Efficient Review tracking Great dashboard for comprehensive view Integration with many platforms like Google, Facebook Automated Review invites feature Responsive customer service The interface for both the administrator and customer is very simple and attractive. I can easily send someone a review invite in within few seconds that goes directly to the customer's phone. It's very effective and quick. Clients can leave Google locals and Facebook review with some clicks. Which makes your business get recognized. Attractive and clean overall user interface. Easy to respond on negative feedback. We've used this with a lot of our clients and it's a great way to send out sms reviews on the go and live chat on your website. Easy to use and very simplistic. Encompasses everything you'd need to set up reviews to gather from customers.
