Foyer Workflow
To interact with clients in Foyer, you can create a Space with any number of clients and staff. Spaces are secure places to transfer files, chat, and sign documents. Both clients and staff can upload files, and when you are done you can archive the space to keep a carbon copy record of your client's records.
Foyer's interface is intuitive and is similar to software that most people already know how to use. Our messenger is similar to WhatsApp, and iMessage and our file explorer is a similar experience to macOS and Windows. You and your clients will have all the modern features you would expect like message read receipts, file previews and thumbnails.
Filecamp Workflow
Filecamp has Files, which are similar to Foyer's Spaces, but you can only store files and comment on specific files. Sending messages to clients or clients can only be completed on a per file basis. Filecamp is built with storing and processing creative assets, while Foyer allows for a more interactive environment to approve artwork and collaborate.
Filecamp's file explorer can also be difficult to use. Unlike Filecamp, Foyer lets you easily drag and drop files around such as in a folder within the application. In addition, Foyer gives users the option to show files and folders as large thumnails or in a windows explorer or macOS like view.
