WhatsApp adé! Business life needs professional apps

These days, many small and medium-sized companies rely on messenger apps for their communication needs. But the question arises: are these applications really GDPR-compliant overall and suitable for use with orders from large companies?

The answer is often no, and the risks involved can be significant.

Large companies attach great importance to ensuring that their sensitive files, data and delivery bills are not sent via unsecured private chat channels. The ArealPilot 360° app from AREALCONTROL GmbH, Stuttgart, is an award-winning version that is readily available. This innovative app offers a secure alternative that meets all requirements. All communication takes place via a "private cloud" hosted in the EU. In two mirrored, DIN/EN/ISO27001-certified data centers, an availability of over 99.982% is ensured. All logins and settings are designed to ensure GDPR compliance while providing all functions for a modern "field service", transport/logistics, chat and file exchange. Security, reliability and legal compliance are paramount.

With the ArealPilot 360° app, companies have the opportunity to take their communication to a new level. A chat between operations management and individual, selected or all field staff is possible at any time. It is also possible to send images and all common file formats. Depending on the portal settings, the app synchronizes itself and displays, for example, in-house activities as touch buttons for selection. This ensures legally binding working time recording.
Ulric Rechtsteiner, Managing Director, adds: "We are fulfilling several applications at once with this app version: Location, tracking, scheduling, chat, file exchange, working time and activity recording, common interfaces in digitization and optional AI-supported route and route planning. All of this together makes day-to-day business easier and saves considerable operating costs."
The latest generation of the app has been available in the Google PlayStore since February 2024.

The use of WhatsApp in a business context can have serious consequences, especially if sensitive data is exchanged. Owners, managing directors or board members who are caught in such cases may face severe legal consequences. Especially in the case of data breaches, those responsible will have to reckon with personal, financial consequences. This risk can be eliminated by using a legally compliant app such as the ArealPilot 360° app.
