Use CoralMeet when

Customers need a simple place to talk.

Use CoralMeet when customers need a simple place to ask questions, send details, coordinate appointments, follow up on orders, or keep an ongoing relationship with your business.

A practical scenario

One customer relationship, one place to return.

A service business may use Microsoft Teams internally, but a customer who has one appointment question or estimate follow-up should not need a Microsoft workplace experience. CoralMeet gives that customer a focused conversation space with the business.
