Podio

Vorteile

Podio is a fully featured platform that allows you to manage any process. We use it as our ERP and we manage all our company processes there. We are a corporate training organization and we sell workshops. In podio we create and keep track from the beginning of the process, the delivery of the courses and the follow up. We have developed with time a quite complex and at the same time simple custom platform for our needs.

Nachteile

Reporting is quite limited and not very customizable. Also views could be more sophisticated and customizable.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Podio

Vorteile

The website is incredibly customizable, which allows you make this program perform many tasks that vary greatly. Our main purpose was to use this as a bid center for our company, allowing all of our branches to see who was bidding which jobs. After setting that up, we were able to have podio send out reminders after certain amounts of time to follow up on the bid results. If we were awarded the job, it will then send out notices to our purchasing department, project managers, and super intendents with the relevant information (start end dates, contract prices, labor hours estimated, location, contact info, etc). It is very helpful to make sure our branches do not double up estimating the same projects.

Nachteile

Being very customizable also means it can be quite tedious to set up initially. There are, however, many premade modules you can either use as is, or customize to fit you needs.

Vorteile

I loved the task queue feature. This showed a list of upcoming tasks and made it easy for me to review upcoming call tasks.

Nachteile

I disliked how much effort it took to manage individual tasks.

Vorteile

we can have in one place all the leads we have and all the workers can upload information about that lead, so we check there all we have from them.

Nachteile

the support it is not very good, the price it is quite high and at the end we were moving to MNprogram but we still could not do the change

Vorteile

I used it for 1-2 years but really never got to a point where I liked the software. It did allow for team communications and project tracking, but I do not believe we used it appropriately.

Nachteile

Podio seems to be a very specific style of project/task management software. We tried using it for implementation projects, so there was a lot of customizations that had to occur before it was usable. I did not feel like it was overly intuitive to use and had to do several follow up trainings.
