With its simple and easy-to-navigate interface, Flock delivers a feature-rich product for teams to chat in a one-to-one or in a group setting. Unlike popular instant messaging applications, Flock allows employees to sign in using their work email, and automatically syncs the entire office directory to every employee's device, creating a workplace-only environment and eliminating the need to blend work and personal IDs and messages.

"We are passionate about increasing productivity through efficient workplace communications, and are building a set of tools that enable rapid interaction and decision making," said Bhavin Turakhia, CEO and founder of Riva. "Flock just works - it is easy to use, secure, simple and stays out of the way"

Features include: 

• Mobile and Desktop applications
• File and image sharing within the application
• Group chats: create temporary or permanent groups for teams or projects
• Secure encrypted messaging
• Ability to bring clients into your conversations
• Auto updated company directory
• Synced conversations across multiple devices
• Read and delivery receipts
• Unlimited chat history
• Admin interface to manage employee exits

"Flock gives employees the opportunity to chat in real time in a single place without mixing their personal and work messages," said Ninad Rawal, Product Manager. "Public instant messengers were never meant for workplace communication. Flock eliminates any chance of accidentally mixing your work or personal messages, or sending your personal ID to clients."

Flock is available on Windows, Mac, Chrome, iOS and Android platforms worldwide. To download it, please visit flock.co or download it via the Apple App Store or Google Play.
