WorkJam, known for its digital workplace solutions for frontline employees, has launched Task Connect, a platform aimed at streamlining task management across various separate systems. The company envisions Task Connect as a game changer for how frontline workers and their managers handle daily responsibilities, promoting a more integrated and efficient workflow.
Steven Kramer, CEO of WorkJam, stated that Task Connect addresses the digital fatigue and confusion common in task management. He explained that the platform reduces the burden on managers by simplifying administrative tasks and overall enhancing productivity. By allowing users to manage tasks in different systems directly through the WorkJam application, Task Connect streamlines operations into a cohesive workflow. This integration permits frontline staff to focus on providing better customer service efficiently, driving operational excellence across multiple industries while consolidating all task-related activities into a single application.
Task Connect serves as a comprehensive digital hub for workflows and tasks, enabling easy access, execution, and monitoring of tasks from different platforms through the WorkJam app. This functionality helps employees concentrate on achieving objectives, ultimately increasing engagement and satisfaction while reducing digital distractions.
The platform integrates seamlessly with existing systems, limiting repetitive data entry and facilitating extensive workflows across various applications. It is particularly useful for industries that rely heavily on task-oriented operations, such as retail, restaurants, hospitality, grocery, and logistics.

Additionally, it aids organizations in reducing integration challenges, data duplications, and IT expenses by utilizing direct system connections and maintaining real-time record systems.
Task Connect is adaptable to various industries and tasks. It simplifies complex processes like re-ticketing merchandise and updating inventory, making price changes and stock adjustments more straightforward. The platform also enhances efficiency in managing product recalls or withdrawals, and in visual merchandising, it helps coordinate updates across multiple locations. In logistics, Task Connect streamlines the validation and reporting of pallet receipts.
