Getquantify – Promote Group Synergy

Getquantify is a web-app that groups of coworkers and teammates can use to increase productivity and creativity. By taking an elegant approach to collaboration and project management, Getquantify sets itself apart from the competition. Groups can use Getquantify to determine priorities, separate projects into categories, and make decisions quickly.

Whether you’re a freelancer, a small business owner, or the CEO of a major corporation, Getquantify offers a pricing plan to fit your company’s needs. Get started by signing up and creating your first group project. Each project needs a title, a description, and one or more categories. Decide which colleagues should get access to the project, and Getquantify will automatically let them in. Once you’ve got your project set up, it’s time to create individual tasks. Set priority levels and deadlines for each task you set up, and assign certain tasks to a specific colleague. Thanks to Getquantify’s tagging features, you can filter and sort tasks in a handful of different ways. You can also initiate Skype chats or conference calls with team members directly through any Getquantify project. Getquantify makes it easy to update and edit tasks at any time, to manage the ever-changing flow of a typical work environment. When a project is complete, change the status to “Closed” as a way to signal its completion to everyone else at your company.

Overall, Getquantify is a robust project management and collaboration system that offers time tracking widgets and commenting features on top of everything else. The web-app has also been developed to look great on iPads and other mobile devices, which makes it especially useful for teams that don’t spend all their time working in the office. For companies that want a grown-up collaboration application, Getquantify is it.

Practical Uses:

  • Keep your company’s various projects organized
  • Set deadlines to let employees know when they need to complete their tasks
  • Use the priority levels feature to signal which tasks should be dealt with first
  • Keep track of the time spent on a certain project for invoicing purposes

Insider Tips:

  • The time tracking tool is actually a widget, which can be moved around the screen
  • Standard users can only see the projects they’ve been assigned to work on
  • Users can create their own custom profiles on Getquantify
  • Only users with certain permissions can assign tasks to colleagues

What we liked:

  • Getquantify looks more elegant than most other collaboration applications
  • Users can make Skype calls directly through the Getquantify
  • The time tracking widget is useful for companies that need to be accurate with hourly billing
  • Getquantify has been specifically designed to work well on “multitouch” devices like the iPad

What we didn’t like:

  • Aside from its elegant design, Getquantify offers very little that has not been offered by other collaboration applications before

  1. Really appreciate the time you spent testing the application and reviewing it.

    I am really glad we share the same view on getquantify. Building features which would set us apart in terms of functionality is our current goal.

    Thanks a lot!

  2. This is a very basic task application and the pricing is more than extreme! I am sorry but I will stick with Basecamp, Freedcamp, or any of the other solid pm systems!
