Podio is a project management and social collaboration tool. It allows businesses to create custom applications to best meet unique business requirements and preferred workflow—without the need for technical skills or development resources.
The Podio App Market grants users access to hundreds of free apps, pre-built by Podio users to satisfy a range of industry-specific requirements and project management functions, such as task management, project portfolio management and issue management. There are also apps for functions such as customer relationship management (CRM) and applicant tracking.
Across all apps, Podio offers a range of social collaboration features, including Facebook-esque “likes” and file-sharing anywhere within the system, as well as internal instant messaging and video chat. Podio works seamlessly with many of the most popular file-sharing services, customer support products and marketing tools.
Podio is unique in that it essentially allows each user to create their own tools and design custom workspaces. With a wide range of available pre-made apps and the ability to build custom apps as well, users can choose their own terminology and the structures that suit them best. Podio’s interface is highly reminiscent of Facebook and tends to resonate with people who frequently use social media.
Being able to keep everything in one place – not, in other words, having to constantly switch between a management program and email or spreadsheets – is one of the most well-loved characteristics of Podio. Podio’s app-building capabilities make it a good fit for smaller organizations that require a high degree of customization—particularly those looking to manage multiple business processes within a single system.
