Azendoo – End the Collaboration Chaos

Azendoo is a collaborative task management application that groups of people can use to save time, work more efficiently, and remain organized in a chaotic environment. The system itself regroups popular cloud tools into a unified interface, offering a streamlined solution for people who are craving simplicity.

Upgrade from your paper to-do lists and improve the way you share information with colleagues by signing up for an Azendoo account and filling in your profile. Include useful information about yourself, like contact information, a job title, and even a photo. Next, you’ll want to join a “subject.” Ask to become a member with full access or a follower. You also have the option to create your own subject around company topics, like “press releases” or “pricing policy,” and invite your colleagues to participate. Post messages immediately and assign tasks related to the subject to the colleagues you’ve invited. You can assign these tasks even before a colleague has confirmed his or her account.

Azendoo organizes your tasks based on when you plan to work on them, and quickly turns emails into tasks that you can share. Choose which of your delegated tasks should be shared with the whole team and which should remain private, and search through past tasks by keyword, role, or subject. Azendoo integrates with many of the most popular business apps, including Box, Dropbox, and Evernote.
