Ploito

Ploito is a virtual office designed to help companies manage remote work, with a telepresence feel that mimics an actual office. The app has features like video walkie-talkie communication, live avatars that indicate when employees are present, and the ability to assign employees to virtual rooms. That means communication and collaboration flows naturally, so coworkers can easily find and engage with each other.

Among Ploito's features are:

• Video Walkie-Talkie: An instant communication system that bypasses traditional phone calls. Users can flick their hand up to start talking, and coworkers will hear and see them.
• Live Avatars: A live video feed of coworkers, so you can see who's available and active.
• Different Rooms: Employees can be assigned to virtual rooms, and you can be notified when someone joins or leaves.
• Key Metrics: Presence, productivity, work schedule, emotionality and ratings are tracked so managers can see how employees are doing.
• Privacy Features: Personal boundaries are respected with options like face and nose blurring, background blurring and live avatar blurring.

Ploito also offers other features like task management, screen sharing, burnout prevention tools and reminders for taking breaks and exercising to help employees maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Ploito costs $8 per active employee online, though companies with up to 4 employees can use it for free. The app is designed to be an economical way to improve remote work, helping to build teamwork, discipline and productivity while protecting employee privacy.
