Connect Deyel with Your Project Management Tools Easily

This free, open-source, cloud-based project management solution is based on the Ruby on Rails framework. As such, Redmine offers a cross-platform and cross-database interface for managing numerous projects all in one space. Managers can allocate users for different roles with set definitions, including priorities for projects or tasks. While free, there is a Panio-hosted version with a starting price of $25.
We found that the document management system is particularly useful, allowing users to share and collaborate with each other quickly and efficiently via messages. Time tracking functionalities are available, as well as the ability to use databases such as PostgreSQl, SQlite, and MySQL. Businesses looking for a budget-friendly, yet flexible solution should check out Redmine.

An open-source integrated business app suite, Odoo offers a lot of features all in one place. Primarily consisting of apps, these include CRM, accounting, website builders, eCommerce, marketing, and warehouse management. We were impressed to find that Odoo really does have an app for everything you could think of when managing our business. It’s no surprise though, as Odoo is supported by one of the largest business app stores out there.
The Community edition is free, but for Enterprise options prices start at $20/user/month. Additional apps can be added for custom needs, which we found to be a really useful addition to the platform. Odoo is all about combining its community resources and partner networks for improved output for all. As one of the most installed business apps in the world, Odoo’s unique ecosystem could be just what your business needs.

The comprehensive management solution that Coda offers users includes building tools, documents, and spreadsheets, all in one platform. Managers can track projects while also brainstorming with team members. It’s also got helpful templates designed to improve the completion and management of projects with integrated rating tables. Helpfully, we’ve found that these templates are available for different areas within a business including sales, HR, event planning, and marketing.
Coda pricing starts at $10/month per doc maker or has a team option starting at $36/month. The ability to choose templates based on specific goals or purposes is a game changer for us, and a feature we think is useful across all businesses. The flexibility and integration options (Gmail, Shopify, Figma, and Intercom), all help to make this a solid solution for smaller businesses setting up shop online.

From our experience this cloud-based project collaboration and interaction tool makes communication easy across businesses and organizations. Slack is a solution for all industries, offering public channels for team members to begin conversations. Additionally, Slack offers the ability to have direct, private channels ensuring messages arrive exactly where they are meant to.
There are various price plans in place, but these all start at just $6.67/user/month. A key benefit we appreciate is Slack’s unique ability to incorporate social media feeds into the application and ongoing channel conversations. On top of that, Slack has the option to drag and drop images and documents into current chats. With the handy archive feature, we found you can search for conversations, keywords, or documents later on making this a great option for promoting effective team communication.

For task planning using a visual collaboration tool, we think Trello is hard to beat. It can be used by a wide range of departments including sales, support, HR, and marketing. Trello is a web-based solution that allows businesses to create project requirements making sure everything is completed in the correct order. Digital creation boards, to organize and prioritize actions, are key on this platform. Managers can define workflows easily, assigning work to specific users while setting deadlines.
Trello starts at $5/user/month, but can be scaled up for different levels including Premium and Enterprise. Essentially, we’ve found Trello to be a great way to collaborate with team members. The use of Trello cards allows the team to add comments, members, and documents. In short, Trello is a professional package with high levels of security and the ability to integrate well with applications such as JIRA Cloud, Google Drive, and Slack for increased team collaboration and efficiency.

Offering file sharing and large file transfer capabilities, we’ve found Dropbox to be one of the easiest cloud storage solutions for companies and businesses of all sizes. It has a range of different scalability options, with flexible Standard and Advanced Team plans from just $20 per month, perfect for both growing or large businesses in need of file storage.
Companies can also get Dropbox Paper free with a Dropbox subscription. This offers teams the ability to manage and coordinate documents online. As a key benefit, we love the way that Dropbox integrates with other software tools such as Zoom, Slack, and Canva for efficient, streamlined work. We’ve found that it’s easy to use, and accessible via apps on any operating system.
