Homepage-Client-Logos-Comp-Desktop

Drag, drop, work flows

Hidden brakes make any process break. Set clear approval gates, phase tasks, and automate handovers. Visually, with drag & drop.

Create working processes

See process frictions before they ruin your progress. Visually map and relate phase tasks and approval gates to create processes people understand and follow.

Set required tasks

Structure the steps, avoid the mess. Define what’s needed with custom fields and task forms for each phase.

Define clear approval rules

Waiting for approvals kills momentum. Set gate approvers, log every decision, and prompt rework when needed.

Automate handovers

Stop the drop at handoff. Shift ownership automatically with custom alerts that keep the right people in the loop.

Move between processes

Change course, keep the history. Shift elements between workflows without losing data, decisions, or progress.

How our customers like using workflows

    Phase-gate workflow to capture, evaluate, and advance ideas from thought to application - step by step progress with clear criteria.

  • Continuous improvement

    Collect feedback and track ideas for improvement aligned with strategic objectives, structured, fast, and continuous.

  • Open innovation

    Bring the outside in. Run structured calls for crowdsourcing ideas and turn external input into internal impact.

Custom alerts right on cue

Too late is too costly. Get updates and approvals right how you need them, when you need them - not after.

Send news that move

Keep your network in the know. Build custom newsletters with fresh content to see what is new, worth their view.

Never miss a beat

Follow what matters. Watch any element and get alerts on changes, moves, or shifts in momentum.

Message your way

Keep comms clean and clear. Share elements or views with custom messages and set triggers for automated notifications.

A template for any job

Templates shape progress. Build only what moves you forward with custom fields, layouts, and forms ready to share.

Any template. For any purpose.

If the shape’s a mess, the decision is a guess. Build custom templates that sharpen focus, fit your filter, and empower informed decisions.

Custom layouts

Form follows function. Place, group, and organize fields to create a layout that brings clarity, not clutter.

Custom fields

Don't let standard fields limit your work. Pick text, number, list, user, or rating fields - whatever does the job best.

Custom ratings

Capture opinions on what matters from whom it matters. Set your criteria and calculate averages and aggregate values to make clear decisions.

Embed and share forms

Data collection feels closed off? Open it up! Embed your forms on webpages and collect information from anyone, anytime, with custom settings that work for you.

How our customers like using template configuration

  • Trend and technologies

    Spot emerging topics your way. Set custom templates to track maturity levels and apply rating criteria that guide your future decisions.

  • Companies and start-up

    Spot rising stars and looming scars before they go too far. Create profiles that track what matters: maturity, potential, or any custom criteria.

  • Ideas and campaigns

    Don’t overload the frontload. Collect what matters at each idea stage to grow the most desirable, feasible, and viable ideas into fitting new solutions.

  • Projects and tasks

    Lost projects start with messy tasks. Set up templates that turn messy to-dos into clear, actionable steps and keep your projects moving forward.

  • Focus fields and opportunities

    Missed focus, missed chances. Set clear priorities with focus field and opportunities that guide your actions.

  • ...and much more

Look and feel, it's yours

If it doesn’t feel like yours, it won’t be yours. Customize colors, logos, and layouts to feel like home base.

Brand it your way

Customize colors, logos, and images across every workspace, because the more familiar it feels, the faster people make it theirs.

Create custom pages

The right impression kicks the right expression. Create custom pages to guide users inside or create external forms to drive submissions outside.

Your context. Your results.
