"We realized that we, as Checkatrade, weren't doing enough to connect consumers and tradespeople, Providing in-app chat encourages both consumers and tradespeople to use just one communication method, reducing this common pain point."
“It (Stream Chat) is another tool that has spared us from having to reinvent the wheel, reinvent the architecture while providing us the granular control, the scalability, the reliability and the analytics layer that we need to really free our engineers up to focus on the differentiated user experience.”
"The company and people profiles on Crunchbase are constantly changing, Our users, especially salespeople, want to know when these changes go live in the companies or markets that they’re interested in. By partnering with Stream, we were able to integrate a customizable activity feed into our paid products that boosted engagement among our sales users.”
"Initially, I planned to implement WebSocket communication manually using Laravel on the backend and React Native on the frontend, However, after assessing the time investment required to learn, integrate, and scale such a solution, it became clear that a more efficient approach was necessary."
“I’ve worked with a lot of technology solution vendors in my career, and the term ‘partner’ tends to be used loosely, but my team feels like we have a true partnership with Stream. Instead of just telling us a price and a plan, Stream is committed to understanding our business so that we can architect, build, and customize our apps exactly how we want them using Stream’s technology.”
"We're centralizing information for students and giving them a full view of campus life. But we're also creating space for real social interaction—like actually meeting people, forming connections, and building community."
"We knew what we needed to do immediately, but we also knew what we were going to try to do in the future — we wanted to make sure we would have the ability to make channels, and customize UI, Interactions like sharing files, emojis, link parsing, add mentions, and threads were also Stream selling points.”
"We aim to challenge the superficial norms of dating. We match users based on personality, leveraging the puzzle metaphor to encourage genuine connections.

“Most transport companies in Europe connect to our product daily. We cannot afford downtime. The exchange of freight can happen in seconds. It was important that our chat solution could handle that."
"Anything that is not free when you're a super early stage start-up is a little daunting. But when you think about the cost of building something from the ground up—the amount of development hours, research, and maintenance—I think our price point completely makes sense, and it's (chat) pretty integral to our product."
"With Stream Chat incorporated into our application, our users will now be able to book appointments through forms directly available through chat, and we expect this new functionality to have a huge, positive impact on business.”
"The main issue we had was that our server with Sendbird was located in Japan while our users were located in the UK. We experienced a lot of latency loading the chat and sending new messages. Our original plan was to migrate to another Sendbird server in Europe, but they did not provide adequate support, so we decided to thoroughly evaluate other chat providers and eventually decided to use Stream."
"We're very happy with Stream Chat, and we plan to expand the functionality to other areas of the platform, like our message board, which will allow us to be flexible and create a cohesive user experience as the product becomes more complex."
