Build a Company Directory App with Glide

A Company Directory app built on Glide gives every employee a searchable, always-current directory of everyone in the organization — with names, titles, departments, locations, contact information, and org chart relationships — accessible from any device. GlideApps Agency builds company directory apps for organizations that have outgrown email address books and need a real people-finder that new hires and cross-functional teams actually use.

What does building a Company Directory app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Key features of your Company Directory app

Employee Profile Pages

Each employee has a profile with photo, name, title, department, manager, direct reports, office location, phone extension, email, and optional fields like skills, languages, or project assignments — making every person in the company findable and knowable.

Search & Filter by Any Attribute

Search by name, department, title, location, skill, or any custom attribute — so when you need to find the Spanish-speaking project manager in the Chicago office, you get the answer in seconds, not through an email chain.

Org Chart Visualization

Navigate the reporting structure from any employee — see their manager, peers, and direct reports — giving employees context about how the organization is structured and who to contact for specific functions.

Self-Service Profile Updates

Employees update their own photo, phone number, and optional profile fields while HR controls structural data like title, department, and reporting relationships — keeping the directory current without making HR a bottleneck.

Frequently asked questions about Company Directory apps

Can the directory sync with our HR system or Active Directory?+

We can integrate with your HR system or directory service to auto-populate and update employee records. The specific integration depends on your system, but common HRIS platforms like BambooHR, Workday, and ADP are supported.

Can we include contractors, interns, and part-time staff?+

Yes — we configure employee types to include full-time, part-time, contractor, and intern with appropriate visibility settings. You control which employment types appear in the directory and what information is visible for each.

Does the directory work on mobile devices?+

The app is mobile-first — employees search the directory from their phone, tap to call or email directly from a profile, and access it anywhere without being on the corporate network.

How do we handle employee departures?+

When an employee departs, their profile is deactivated (not deleted), removing them from active search results while preserving historical records. If your HRIS integration is active, departures sync automatically.

Can we add custom fields like skills, certifications, or languages?+

Yes — we configure any custom fields your organization values. Skills inventories, certifications, language proficiency, and project affiliations are common additions that make the directory a strategic people-finding tool.
