Podio or something else?

Question

Hey y’all! I’m needing a system for my crew, bookkeeper, project manager, and assistant during flips and contract jobs to be more organized. I heard briefly about podio but really don’t know where to start or if there is a better application out there to help manage flips and contract jobs. What are your recommendations? Thanks in advance!

I’ve used Podio for over 10 years now. Very powerful and scalable. I highly recommend it.

Podio is cheap and simple. That is the software I use.

Cloud based project management is a major resource as long as you have full team “buy in” participation. We also started using a platform called Basecamp way back when a handful started popping up as a retail cloud service. There are many now, but what I thought worked was finding the right level of simplicity, as not every employee or sub early on was that techno savvy or had the same ease of OS compatibility on their mobile devices. That’s changed a lot now, but having a singular space were ALL plans, organized discussions, documents, and photos etc, was a no brainer. We had a client portal added as well, and so practically and psychologically  , everything ran a million times better. Having an entire project run via separate emails/texts/voicemail with every single thing with every single member, is a mess and inefficient.

Again, get inside a demo, this whole service background was started in IT for large office based teams for project management, and I went with a platform that had a little less software/spreadsheet feel, but more visually simplistic and intuitive. You should know it when you see it, what makes sense for your team. Do it and don’t look back.

@Eliott Elias can you explain more about why you like Podio? I'm not as familiar with the needs of the flip space, but curious to learn. Thanks!
