"We quickly became huge fans of customizing apps on Podio."
“This app helps to not only track the issues but also inform the entire team about progress and status.”
“At a certain point the light goes on and [people] start to realize what they can do with it; you start to see them building their own apps and spaces and it really does drive creativity; you can see people start to think about how to make themselves more productive.”
"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."
“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.”
"Once I tried Podio, I couldn’t stop using it and finding new ways to apply it to our business."
“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.”
"I created an app in Podio to collect qualitative data. We use a Podio webform to collect impact resulting from our journalism. Inside the Podio database, I use the various fields to filter information. For example, I can set a filter to see all impact associated with a single reporting topic."
"Podio has a mind-blowing system to help you work with other people."
"It is not suited for efficient communication within an office. It is easy to get disconnected with the daily bombardment of email."
"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."
"Podio is great because we can customize the apps to fit our unique organization, which has been very helpful. There are so many ways you can use Podio to make it the ‘just right’ solution for every business. Best of all you do not have to be an IT professional to create or customize your apps. The sponsorship we received from Podio has helped K9s For Warriors be more efficient with our donors’ dollars."
