Does this sound familiar?
With ten channels, groups, and direct messages, no one can keep track of where everything is actually being discussed.
Important project decisions are made in the chat—colleagues who weren't online at the time are simply left out.
Sensitive customer data ends up in chat without clear rules regarding how long it is stored or who is allowed to access it.

Why a "Made in Austria" Team Chat Makes a Difference for Your Data
Consolidate processes your chat communications exclusively on servers in the EU or, optionally, on your own infrastructure—unlike Slack or Microsoft Teams, where, according to independent analyses, clear data retention periods and content-sharing policies are often lacking, and access by U.S. organizations cannot be ruled out due to the CLOUD Act. This is no minor issue, especially when sensitive customer or project information ends up in chat.
- Choose between EU cloud or on-premises
- GDPR-compliant by design, not retroactively implemented
- European AI (Mistral AI)

- Over 5,000 users with diverse needs already trust Consolidate
Everyone's connected – Team chat doesn't work alone
With most providers, chat is just another isolated tool whose content can’t be found anywhere else. With Consolidate, team chat is part of a shared platform from the very beginning—with the same tasks, the same documents, and the same user management as all other modules.
Team Chat ↔ Projects & Tasks:
You can clarify questions about a task directly within the context, without having to search through the chat history.
Team Chat ↔ Video Conferences:
Turn a chat into a video call with a single click—without switching tools or sending links.
Team Chat ↔ Knowledge Base:
Important agreements can be transferred directly into a knowledge base article instead of disappearing into the chat history.
Everything stays up to date automatically and in one place.
Discover how your team chat integrates with project management, tasks, and video conferencing.

FAQ
Team chat software enables quick, informal communication within a team—for brief questions, spontaneous discussions, or status updates where email would be too slow. In Consolidate, the chat is also directly linked to tasks, projects, and contacts, rather than existing as an isolated message thread.
Email is best suited for external communication, while chat is intended for quick internal exchanges. If complex project decisions are made exclusively via chat, they can quickly get lost in the conversation—with Consolidate, important messages can be assigned directly as comments on a task, ensuring they remain easy to find.
Chat tools are typically organized chronologically and are ephemeral: the more messages are added, the faster important decisions get pushed down the list and become difficult to find again. Consolidate solves this by linking comments directly to the corresponding task, project, or contact, rather than just having them appear in the chat history.
Both providers offer basic data protection features, but are considered U.S. companies and are therefore subject to the U.S. CLOUD Act, which means that access by U.S. authorities cannot be completely ruled out, even when servers are located in the EU. Furthermore, according to independent analyses, granular data retention periods and content-sharing policies are often lacking. Consolidate, on the other hand, processes chat data exclusively on EU servers or on-premises.
Standalone chat tools like Slack often cost between €6 and €15 per user per month, although advanced security and compliance features are frequently only available in more expensive enterprise plans. With Consolidate, you can get started completely free of charge with the Community Edition (for the first year, for 5 users), including all additional modules such as CRM, email, calendar, and project management. The Premium Edition starts at €24 per user per month.
