"Get closer to the job without necessarily being there, through our web-based collaborative platform where you, the customer, can easily keep up with the work we do through daily reports of progress with text, pictures and videos from engineers and project managers."
"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."
"Podio is an extremely flexible and highly customizable online hub for work and communication. Because it's so user friendly and scales easily for growing businesses, it's an Editors' Choice."
“Our team currently resides in North California, South California, and Hawaii; now I haven’t moved to Hawaii yet, but when I do it’s not going to be a issue because having a platform like Podio enables all of us to be in the same digital office, so our workspace doesn’t change even though our workplace might.”
“The increased transparency made possible by Podio has really improved our clients relations and the process of selecting campaign ideas. We’ve found by sharing a workspace on Podio, our clients understand our creative process better. It’s also a faster way of sharing ideas and selecting the best ones to take forward. As projects proceed Podio’s a great way to present and discuss work with our clients, without having to email things back and forth.”
"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."
“In our journey to create a coherent and integrated workflow, we’ve scoured through pretty much every process and procedure in the company. With help from Phases, we’ve focused on connecting disconnected processes, streamlining workflows and creating transparency between different teams so that knowledge is widely accessible instead of dependent on individuals.”
“Podio also offers a flexible and easy way to build new apps, that can be adapted to each organisation’s needs."
"We quickly became huge fans of customizing apps on Podio."
"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."
“As we are all working freelance on the side, it is really important to have goals set to push yourself and each other forward. I’ve experienced that we actually get more things done since it is clear what exactly has to be ready and when.”
"It is not suited for efficient communication within an office. It is easy to get disconnected with the daily bombardment of email."
"Before Podio, every time we implemented a task there was organization involved. With Podio, the organization is a given. With one place to keep our daily work on track, we can focus on what actually needs to get done and, of course, find time for that Rip van Wafels break."
"Our technology team has been agile for a long time, but we wanted to work this way across the organization. So we thought we’d experiment with weekly sprints in marketing and using a hypothesis-driven development technique, which means every single project has to be written out as as a ‘we believe’ statement with very clear measurement and success criteria. So as part of that we wanted a tool that could support an agile process, something that was flexible, and we found Podio to be that tool."
"Once I tried Podio, I couldn’t stop using it and finding new ways to apply it to our business."
