Project and task management for small businesses
Organize projects, structure tasks and keep your team aligned on ongoing work — without the overhead of complex project software.

Bring structure to the work your business does every day
For many small businesses, a "project" is simply a customer job, an installation, an engagement or an internal improvement. These projects involve several steps and often several people, yet they are frequently tracked in personal to-do lists or a shared spreadsheet that quickly falls out of date.
The project and task management area of Appexline gives each project a clear home. Tasks sit inside the project they belong to, each with an owner and a stage, so anyone on the team can see what is happening and what comes next.
What this area of the platform covers
Project organization
Create projects for customer jobs, internal initiatives or recurring work and keep related information together.
Task structure
Break projects into tasks that describe concrete work, making large jobs easier to manage.
Team coordination
Assign tasks to team members so responsibilities are explicit rather than assumed.
Workflow organization
Move tasks through stages such as to do, in progress, review and done.
Progress visibility
See at a glance how much of a project is complete and where work is waiting.

Keep notes and context with the project instead of in separate documents or inboxes.
