As a company that works entirely remotely, we understand the importance of productivity software. While technology can be a great way to increase your productivity, it’s also easy to waste time with ineffective tools. 

We utilize a wide range of project management, communication, and file management tools (among others) to ensure our organization is operating effectively and efficiently. We also made sure to incorporate tools that benefit both individuals and the wider team as a whole, therefore maximizing productivity.

Thinking about implementing a new tool? Check out our guide to make sure it’s the right fit for your team.

Tools We Use and How They Help

Slack is a communication software tool that allows you to instantly communicate within your organization on a team-wide basis in channels and threads or direct messages for individual chats.

• Synchronized dates, reminders, and deadlines with calendar and contacts;
• All-in-one matter management- everything related to the project is organized in one place;
• Automated time and billing features;
• Ability to collaborate with others working on projects with ease;
• Dashboards and using reports to measure and monitor project progression; and
