Real-Time Chat for Your Team

The chat for duty in your emergency service organisation: direct messages, group chats and automatic chats for departments and groups – on servers in Germany, without private phone numbers.

Servers in Germany

Chats, photos and files are stored on servers in Germany. Push notifications necessarily travel via Google and Apple – which is why they contain neither names nor message text.

By Invitation Only

Only people your organisation has invited can join the chats. Duty arrangements no longer need private messenger groups.

Real-Time Messages

Messages appear instantly for all participants. Fast communication without delay.

Auto Department Chats

Departments and groups automatically get their own chat channels. New members are added automatically – no manual invitations needed.

1:1 and Group Chats

Personal direct messages and custom group chats for teams, projects or task forces. Your organisation decides who may start them.

Admin Control

Administrators manage read-only mode, archiving and chat members.

Why a Dedicated Chat for Duty

Private messengers are made for everyday life, not for an organisation: someone maintains the groups by hand, and duty and private matters get mixed up. In echoBOS, your organisation decides who is in. Access is by invitation only, department and group chats follow your structure, and you decide who may start direct and group chats.

  • German provider, servers in Germany
  • Encrypted transmission (TLS)
  • Row Level Security separates organisations in the database
  • No tracking and no advertising in the app and web application
  • Members chat without revealing their phone number
