“Since
Flock entered the market, we’ve experienced significant global traction and 200
percent growth. Accelerated demand for the need to increase efficiency across
teams has provided us with every reason to continue to expand globally and for
me to prepare to invest additional capital,” said Turakhia. “At Flock, we are
deeply committed to enhancing team and organizational productivity. Surveys and
interviews with our global users clearly demonstrated that over 80% of
professionals prefer using software in their native language. We immediately
made it a priority to develop multilingual support for our users worldwide.”
