Product updates and G2:
We are constantly seeking to improve the functionalities of our product; not only those for project management but also functions that apply to achieve more efficient time management. In addition, we add more metrics to our profitability dashboards to obtain increasingly complex real-time reports.
Among the updates within the product, we can highlight the integration of Microsoft Teams where our users can have visibility of their workflow without leaving Teams. Using this integration you can create tasks and projects and add hours by automatically assigning them to your Teams projects.
In addition, we added a Jira integration with the objective that the teams can operate without duplicating processes. You will be able to measure the profitability of clients, projects and tasks, reporting the time spent on each individual one.
