Portify helps companies that own vehicles save time, money and the environment through smart vehicle management. Their platform, Fleet Intelligence, makes everyday life easier for those responsible for the company's fleet — everything from service and control to costs and car pool management is handled in one place.
With 17 employees and short decision-making channels, Portify is a tight-knit team where everyone rolls up their sleeves. And just as they simplify everyday life for their customers, CEO Anna Tamnhed wanted to find a simple solution for this year's Christmas gifts for the team.
But finding the right gift for 17 different people with 17 different wishes? That's easier said than done.
From driving during Covid to digital gift cards
Anna has tried most things over the years. "The first few years I bought the Christmas presents myself. During Covid I drove around and delivered to everyone personally. It worked, but it wasn't exactly smooth," she says.
They then tested a gift service where people could choose from different options. But the selection got worse over time — and it wasn't always easy to find something that suited everyone.
Last year, Anna felt it was time to find something better. Then an acquaintance tipped her off to Glede .
Easy to understand, easy to use
It didn't take long for Anna to get started. "It was very easy to understand what to do. The job was done in a few minutes," she says.
She sent out the gift cards digitally to the entire team. Each person received two links — one to download their gift card, and one to start using it right away. The response? Absolutely positive.
“I spoke to the employees after they received the gift. Everyone was super happy!”
The security of seeing that the gift is actually used
Anna highlights four things she particularly appreciates about Glede :
- Quick to ship : "I uploaded a list of all employees, and the job was done in a few minutes. No packing, no shipping, no logistics."
- Planning the mailing : "It was great that I could plan the mailing. I planned for everyone to get it just before the Christmas holidays, so I didn't have to stress about it in the middle of the Christmas holidays."
- Full usage overview : "The best thing is that I can see whether they have used the gift card or not. I don't need to know what they are buying, but knowing that the money is not being wasted gives me peace of mind."
- Good follow-up from Glede team: "The team behind Glede were available and helpful throughout. It made it feel safe to use the service, especially the first time."
“It's a shame to spend money on a gift that is not useful. With Glede I have no doubt about it!”
And what if someone forgets their gift card? Then send Glede an automatic reminder, something Anna is very happy about!
"I thought it would be nice to be able to send a reminder manually. But automatic reminders are actually even better — because what if I forget to send the reminder myself?" she says.
A gift that works for everyone
Anna believes Glede can be useful for many companies, and believes that companies that give Christmas gifts or other gifts to employees should test the service.
“Larger companies that give anniversary gifts, birthdays or Christmas gifts would definitely benefit from Glede !”
Anna concludes by expressing a desire to use Glede as a private individual. "It was so easy. Can you give it as a private individual too? I would have loved to do that," she says eagerly.
