Intranet Software
Stop stitching together a chat tool, a file share, and an old SharePoint site. Axero is the intranet solution that gives every employee — whether at a desk, on the floor, or in the field — one branded place to find what they need, recognize each other, and stay connected. Customize without devs, deploy in the cloud or on your own infrastructure, and integrate with the stack your IT team already runs. Teams at Amazon, Toyota, and Johns Hopkins use Axero as their intranet platform, company intranet software, employee hub, and knowledge home — all at once.

Whether you call it company intranet software, an intranet platform, or just "the company intranet," it's the front door to company life — where employees find announcements, policy docs, team spaces, the directory, and everything they need to do their jobs.
Modern intranet software does more than store documents. It targets messages by department or location, surfaces the right knowledge at the right time, gives deskless and frontline workers a mobile-first home base, and connects to the rest of your stack so it's not yet another silo — the foundation of a real employee experience.
Axero is the intranet solution built around how your people actually work — not a template designed for a generic company. It combines internal comms, knowledge management, employee engagement, and a fully customizable branded experience in one platform — with cloud or on-premise deployment, full HTML/CSS/JavaScript control, and 500+ REST APIs.

Most intranet failures aren't bad ideas — they're caused by the wrong tool. A SharePoint site no one updates, a chat channel where critical updates scroll into the void, a file share that became a graveyard. Here's how Axero addresses the most common ones.
Field crews, retail floors, healthcare workers on shift — they can't sit at a computer to keep up with the company. Axero's native iOS and Android apps give every employee push notifications, the directory, announcements, and key documents in their pocket, so the office isn't the only place where the company exists.
Most intranet vendors give you a boxed layout and call it done. Axero is built for organizations that want a branded, customized experience that reflects how the company actually works. Drag-and-drop Page Builder, full HTML/CSS/JavaScript access, and 500+ APIs mean your intranet can look and feel exactly like your organization — no developer required for day-to-day changes.
Most intranets don't tell you whether anyone is using them. Axero tracks engagement natively with open rates, content views, search behavior, and read receipts so you can prove what's working and fix what's not.
Publish company-wide announcements or target by department, location, role, or custom audience. Spark excitement about a new hire, alert one office about inclement weather, or notify field crews about a schedule change — reach the right people with the right information, without flooding everyone's inbox.
Think of Axero as your newsroom HQ. Eliminate silos and unify your entire organization with one branded hub that serves as the single source of truth for company news, leadership updates, and what's happening across teams.
Save four hours a week per employee by centralizing knowledge in one searchable hub. Axero pulls in data from Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, SharePoint, and 500+ other tools so employees stop hunting and start finding.
Set up knowledge bases for policies, onboarding, product docs, or any topic. Give every team an easy way to find what they need, version what they update, and keep institutional knowledge from walking out the door.
Employees waste 8 minutes searching for the right document. Axero Copilot's AI digests your company's content and gives employees direct answers from policies, knowledge articles, and integrated sources — so they don't have to ask a coworker.
Keep projects moving with built-in task management. Delegate work, send notifications, set priorities, and track project status — all inside the same hub employees already use for company communications and knowledge.
Give your culture a digital home base. Celebrate employees, run recognition programs, host events, and let teams create their own spaces. Axero powers a people-first workplace with engagement features that capture attention — not just clicks.
Most intranet platforms cover the basics. Axero goes further. On top of the core intranet experience, you get tools like a newsletter builder, employee recognition, training, and forms — all in one place, so your team isn't jumping between platforms and IT isn't managing a stack of separate vendors.
An internal employee newsletter software built right into your intranet — no more paying for a separate email marketing tool to reach your own workforce.
Create dynamic, dedicated workspaces for individual departments or specific projects to keep teams aligned without flooding everyone's inbox.
Slash the time employees waste looking for documents with one search bar for all of your documents, content, and people.
Get instant answers from your own content — policies, knowledge articles, and integrated sources — with AI chatbots that respect each employee's role-based access. People only see answers drawn from what they're already permitted to read.
Target communications and build audience segmentation based on roles, departments, or locations — the right people see the right thing.
A sophisticated file management system where you can upload files, organize them into folders, and create different levels of user permissions. Think: your own internal Google Drive.
Design the UX of your intranet without coding using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that gives internal comms teams total control.
Connect seamlessly with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Slack, or build custom micro-apps using our 500+ REST APIs.
Keep deskless and remote employees connected with native iOS and Android applications — the office isn't the only place where your company exists.
“Axero gives us flexibility without taking up resources. People are creating blogs, wikis, and events without any training. It fosters a culture of accountability and content ownership. It was clearly the best fit.”
“The best information sharing and collaboration solution. Highly customizable, well-thought-out, and deployment of new features is second to none. The support is amazing.”
“Excellent security, customer service, and support drive internal participation and community engagement and are great tools for sharing resources, updates, and collaboration across the organization.”
Axero is built so your communications, HR, and operations teams can own the day-to-day — publishing announcements, updating content, and adapting the intranet without filing a ticket for every change. But when IT does step in, they'll find a platform that's actually worth their time.
Most intranet platforms force a tradeoff: easy for non-technical users, or powerful enough for enterprise IT. Axero doesn't ask you to choose.
Axero is one of very few intranet platforms that offers on-premise hosting for organizations with data residency requirements, security mandates, or compliance obligations that cloud-only platforms can't meet. Cloud customers each get a single-tenant installation — your own independent database, completely separate from every other customer.
Axero supports Active Directory, ADFS, Azure AD, Microsoft Entra ID, SAML 2.0, Okta, OneLogin, and Google SSO — so employees get a seamless login and IT keeps central access control. Granular role-based permissions give admins full control over who sees what, who can publish, and who can manage, down to the space and document level.
Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit via SSL/TLS 1.3. Single-tenant architecture means your data is isolated from other customers. Daily incremental backups, intrusion detection, and disaster recovery are standard, not add-ons.
Axero's implementation team works with you from day one through content migration, information architecture, permissions mapping, training, and launch. After go-live, you have a support team that knows your platform specifically — not a ticket queue. Axero isn't just a vendor, we're a partner.
Field crews, retail floor staff, healthcare workers on shift, drivers, frontline operators — they don't sit at a computer all day, and most intranet platforms forget that. Axero's native iOS and Android apps give every employee push notifications, the directory, announcements, key documents, and team spaces from wherever they work. No more leaving 40% of your workforce out of the loop.
Banks, healthcare systems, real estate agencies, universities, and multi-site manufacturers struggle with the same problem: different locations develop different cultures, different information access, and different levels of alignment. Axero gives distributed teams a single platform with targeted messaging by location, while letting local teams have their own branded spaces.
Manufacturing, logistics, retail, healthcare, construction, and hospitality teams have employees who aren't at a desk most of the day. Axero's native mobile apps, push notifications, and offline-capable design mean every employee can stay connected — not just the ones with corporate laptops.
SharePoint can technically host an intranet, but adoption rates and maintenance burden tell another story. Organizations that have outgrown SharePoint, or that are running five different tools where one should suffice, come to Axero for a purpose-built platform that doesn't require an IT admin to update every page.
You don't need 5,000 employees to need an intranet. Companies of 200 and up that have outgrown shared drives, ad-hoc Slack channels, and email chains use Axero to put structure in place before things scale further. Pricing flexes with your team size, and the implementation is in weeks, not quarters.
