Simple online business and project management software for your small business
Sign up for our Beta version for FREE
... coming in February 2012
Just provide your email address here and we will contact you when we are ready to launch.
As you read this, we are umbilically attached to our computers, building a boffo set of Web-based tools so you can make quick work of mindless details and focus on the big picture ... building a kick-ass business.
Our programming elves have informed us they will be ready to launch the Beta version of our tools in February 2012, and we would love to have you try it for FREE for 30 days and let us know what you think.
To sign up for our FREE Beta test, just shoot us your email and we will get in touch with you very soon. (Oh, and your email address will be kept strictly confidential and used only for purposes of contacting you regarding our new tools. Cross our heart.)
In the meantime, here's a taste of what you can expect from Planning Pod...
You aren't in the software learning business, right? We didn't think so. That's why we are building our tools to be extra simple and straightforward ... because you want to save time, not spend it on learning another project management program. In fact, you will find that many of our tools work like applications you already use, making it even easier to get up and running.
You probably aren't in the software buying business either (although sometimes it may seem like it with all the pieces of software you need to run your business and your projects). Planning Pod pulls all the tools you need together into a single online business management and project management application.
Speaking of managing projects, our system includes tools for file sharing, task management, checklists, project notes, message boards, questionnaires, image galleries, and time tracking.
Not only does our system help with keeping track of projects, but it also helps you keep tabs on people, too. The contact tools give you a centralized place to store and categorize your contacts and all their info (as well as a place to store electronic files associated with each contact).
And, because you may be sharing our project management software tools with clients and colleagues, we made our tools very easy on the eyes. You can also customize the background and fonts to create your own look and impress the heck out of people.
Plus there will be more tools in our Beta version, such as:
- Contract manager (with online signatures)
- Proposal creator/manager
- Invoice creator/manager
- Calendars (that integrate with other popular e-calendars)
- Template manager (for contracts, tasks, checklists, proposals, invoices and more)
- Time tracker
- And more
A bit of background about us and our project management program
Before we began work on Planning Pod, we ran a small marketing and Web design firm in Denver, CO. Like most small business owners, we wanted a piece of business and project management software that didn't suck up our time and, frankly, didn't suck. Surprisingly, we had a tough time finding anything that we could commit to (yes, we did have commitment issues back then).
So, we decided to use our experience building online apps to build our own project management application for small businesses like ours. We encourage you to kick the tires and give the Beta version our project management program a try. On occasion we will ask for your opinion on what you think, what you like, what needs to be improved and what we've forgotten. Thanks for stopping by, and we wish you all the best with your business.
