"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."
"Podio, to me, is about knowledge management. Understanding how your business works from all angles and being able to track trends and statistics from the data."
"Podio has helped us a lot in getting our co-workers and projects in sync."
"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.”
"The implementation of Podio has completely revolutionized the way we work."
"We quickly became huge fans of customizing apps on Podio."
"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."
"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."
“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.”
"Podio has a mind-blowing system to help you work with other people."
“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.”
