People directory software
Connect everyone at work instantly
Finding the right person should never feel like a search mission. Oak’s People Directory Software brings employee profiles, job titles, departments and contact details together in one easy-to-use place.

Key benefits
Instantly find who you need
Empower employees to locate anyone in the business within seconds. Oak’s smart search goes beyond simple name lookups; users can filter the directory by job title, department, location, or skillset. Whether a team member needs to find a specific regional manager or an internal expert on a niche topic, all vital contact details and phone numbers are surfaced instantly.
Every employee has an individual activity profile
Employee profiles showcase a live stream of their most recent platform activity, including recent posts, shared content, and updates they have been tagged in. This gives colleagues immediate context into what projects their peers are working on, fostering transparency and making cross-departmental alignment easier.
Grows with you and your business
Keep your entire workforce aligned on the structure of your business as it grows and evolves. Oak allows internal communication and HR teams to generate dedicated, interactive organisational charts through HR system integrations.
People Directory Software in action
Eradicate information siloes
Stop relying on outdated spreadsheets and scattered contact lists. By centralizing employee information, Oak connects disparate departments, ensuring corporate office workers and frontline staff are searchable on one unified platform.
Frictionless mobile-first connections
Designed with the hybrid and remote workforce in mind, Oak’s people directory software is entirely mobile-responsive. Field workers and on-the-go teams can look up phone numbers, launch direct calls, or find area managers straight from their smartphones and message them within the mobile intranet app.
Enhanced employee recognition and tagging
Bring human connection to the digital workplace. By showing exactly what content, updates, and milestone celebrations employees are tagged in, Oak builds a peer-to-peer recognition network where wins are visible and easily celebrated company-wide.
Built for your industry
Retail
Bridge the communication gap between headquarters and thousands of retail employees. Floor staff can quickly look up area managers, visual merchandising leads, or support teams instantly from their mobile devices, without needing to know specific personal email addresses or digging through back-office paperwork.
Healthcare
Streamline coordination across vast clinical networks and rotating shifts. Enable medical staff, administrators, and specialised practitioners to locate on-duty personnel, view department hierarchies, and verify contact numbers instantly, ensuring critical operations run smoothly on the move.
Manufacturing
Connect the entire factory floor to regional engineers and shift supervisors. Ditch the paper phone sheets on the breakroom noticeboard and give your deskless manufacturing teams the power to search the entire enterprise directory and report machinery issues to the right personnel immediately.
Hospitality
Keep front-of-house teams, kitchen staff, and suppliers perfectly synced. New hospitality staff can visually map out their team structure using the org chart, locate head chefs or venue managers across multiple locations, and instantly access telephone contacts before their shift begins.
