"[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."
"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."
“Previously you’d have to send it via email and save it on your local drive, but now I can have an app for all my employees and share just the specific items with the specific people that it’s relevant to; because obviously we don’t want colleagues seeing each others reviews and one-to-ones, so that a really fantastic new feature for us.”
"We had far too many different tools, too many spreadsheets and few opportunities to organize projects in a flexible and fast way whilst being easily accessible for all. We had been looking for a suitable system to make our daily work more efficient and to bring some order to our files and processes for quite a long time."
"By now 80 to 90 percent of our employees are using only Podio, which cuts down on email traffic, [and] on different tools. We have only one solution we have to learn and it’s been a great improvement since then."
“Everytime I need to find some information like new graphics, materials, deadlines; all I need to do is enter the app for a particular department and I can find it all there. Before I had to send lots of emails, call, and remind myself. Now it’s it just all there and I think it makes it way faster.”
"One of the reasons we implemented Podio was to share a common and open framework to create, plan, organize and monitor all our projects and mitigate risks. Podio’s easy interface has helped electra create a structured flow to manage project tasks and deliverables. There is now a common organized structure and process to help everyone work and manage a project – anyone can go into workspaces and app entries and have full visibility of the project."
"We rely solely on Podio for 95 percent of our project management activities."
"A 3D printer can make everything from a hammer, to a toy, to an architectural model, and Podio has a lot of those same aspects, which I think is why we’ve been so successful with it."
"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."
"We combined the apps we created into a Project Management and QA pack and rolled it out to the Emperor Design marketplace for consistent use by the entire team."
"It is not suited for efficient communication within an office. It is easy to get disconnected with the daily bombardment of email."
“We’ve vastly improved our ability to orchestrate and work together as a team because we have a common workspace inside of Podio so everyone can track what they’re responsible for and share information with their dependents in other parts of the company.”
"To pick one favorite Podio app is like asking which of my children is my favorite – I like them all for different reasons."
“Podio instantly gave all users full transparency about our ongoing projects. We are now able to focus on strategic issues in our weekly meetings rather than daily business.”
