"It is not suited for efficient communication within an office. It is easy to get disconnected with the daily bombardment of email."
"We really needed a solution where we had everything in one place, and an overview of what needed to be done, what had been done, and where we were in that process – Podio does just that."
"It has provided a real-time channel that contextually is connected to the topic or project so there is zero confusion. Podio’s allowed us to actually tighten our communications, more so than ever."
"What attracted us to Podio was that it put everything in one place, and it was something you could fully customize. It wasn’t just a project management system – it was a project management system for our needs. No two projects are the same, and it’s really cool as the project manager to build in different aspects of that in different apps on the Podio platform itself.”
“It’s been very seamless for them, and we’ve actually began the processes of mapping out how Podio can fit their specific needs.”
“It was very hard to manage the jobs that I had open because there wasn’t a centralized location where we were storing all of our jobs. So I could have opened up 10 jobs in one day, and two days later I was having to go through my emails to figure out what I had opened and what was still out there and what I had to follow up on.”
"We’ve been using Podio since 2012, and it’s a great timesaver in all of our teams. It’s easier to monitor the progress of jobs now, and it’s enabled us to eliminate many of the manual tasks that disrupted our flow in the past."
"It's kind of fun formatting everything and seeing how it all works together. You can basically get it to do exactly what you want."
"As we grew and as we started doing more work, there was just no way we could keep all that information either in our heads or on a piece of paper."
"[The Projects app] automatically feeds back into another app we created that tracks the margins for all the products; it constantly calculates average hours, average material costs, average margin for each piece so we can be on the fly adjusting. It’s really amazing what you can do."
"Because of Podio I see that process, I see them talking about it, I see them asking questions if they need to know something from me about what’s going on in the shop."
“This app helps to not only track the issues but also inform the entire team about progress and status.”
"Last year, before we were using Podio, we put out three issues. Now that we can plan and track, and have accountability and transparency, we’re going to put out four issues this year and more stories are being told from the economic fringe."
"Podio becomes a strong tool when we have the site owner in the workspace with us – our work becomes transparent… If we can work openly and honestly with the site owner regarding finances, well then we are able to work openly and honestly on many fronts."
"Once I tried Podio, I couldn’t stop using it and finding new ways to apply it to our business."
