To be honest, our communication is a complete mess. Some people write via messengers, some via email, and some just disappear. As a result, there is confusion and delays in responses to clients. I want to put things in order — I’m considering Slack or Microsoft Teams. But I don’t know how to structure everything. Does anyone have experience setting up effective internal communication in the support service? Please share, I really need help and real cases.

I’ve been in a similar situation before, and centralizing communication was the key. Slack and Microsoft Teams are both solid choices, but the main thing is to create clear channels and guidelines. For example:
Dedicated channels for different departments or topics (e.g., #support, #sales, #urgent)
Pinned messages for important updates so nobody misses them
Response time rules so everyone knows how quickly to reply
Also, integrate tools like Trello or Asana for task management, so updates and follow-ups don’t get lost. If your team is used to multiple platforms, start with Slack for internal communication and keep email only for external clients.
It’s kind of like writing no plagiarism essays—structure and consistency matter as much as the content. Once everyone follows the same system, things get way smoother!
Team chats are a convenient way to maintain constant communication between employees. They allow you to quickly exchange messages, files, and ideas, which speeds up decision-making. Unlike email, chats structure communication and reduce the amount of missed information. When set up correctly, they help improve teamwork and increase productivity.
Communication in disparate messengers and email led to the loss of important details and slower decisions. We switched to a corporate chat, where all discussions, files and links are collected in one place. This increased the speed of work and transparency of processes.

Corporate chats are an indispensable tool for effective teamwork.
