Are you running your day or is it running you?

Monday morning. You start to work and everyone in your team is busy. They know exactly what needs to be done, which tasks have been assigned within the team and how each is progressing. They easily track progress on all tasks, assign tasks to each other, communicate, get approvals quickly and find and share the documents related to each project easily. Scope creep is a thing of the past. Nothing gets lost or forgotten. Work gets done. Meetings only happen for brainstorming and milestone celebrations.

When progress meetings stop progress

Sounds ideal, right? The reality is that teams don't work like that. Teams may have weekly meetings to check on progress and discuss problems. If you have multiple projects, chances are you have multiple progress meetings per week. Moreover, you possibly have multiple email discussions, chat threads or catchups throughout the week. Most teams are working reactively, responding to tasks as they become urgent. Sometimes it may even seem like the day is running you, and you have no control over what is happening in your office. If this sounds familiar, read on.

Project managers, office managers and really anyone that is responsible for a team need to keep track of what their team is doing each day. Complex projects with multiple tasks need to be managed to make sure time and money are used productively. Many times the tools we use to help us plan and track our progress add a whole new level of frustration and extra work for our team members. While many of the tools out there like Asana and Monday give you a way to track your team, it requires a lot of set-up and manual inputs from team members. Plus, you might be using multiple tools to track your teams, documents and tasks. You might be better off just using Excel, or even pen and paper!

The way we work hasn’t changed much over the last fifty years, even though the Fourth Industrial Revolution has brought us IoT technology and office automation. Yet we still manage our teams in much the same way we did before the rise of the technological age. With the years of experience the PIQNIC team have, we have learned that most apps and platforms just add to your stress. We’ve learned that it doesn’t work with the way people actually work. This is why we created PIQNIC.

A new way to be productive

With PIQNIC, you can work the way you want to. You can use one single platform to accomplish great collaboration with your team. You can build workflows for processes and automate repeatable tasks. PIQNIC provides tasks that are already set up, and it simplifies your process. You can attach documents to specific tasks, and control versions in a safe and secure platform. The platform is visually easy to understand, intuitive to work and gives you all the information you need for each project in one glance.

PIQNIC is highly customisable, but unlike other apps and platforms, PIQNIC provides you with a support team to help you get everything set up exactly the way you want. This means that the platform is scalable for various sizes of businesses, from one user to hundreds. It gives you the ability to set up projects with processes and tasks, in exactly the way you would want to work without retraining your team. 

File sharing is easy! We’ve revolutionised the way files are stored and found. Can’t remember what the document is called? No problem! With our technology, you can look for the file on the project or search by type or keyword. You can leave comments and assign them to a team member for action, and you can always track which version of a document is the latest. No more endless searches for the right file! Plus your documents are safe and secure while being stored efficiently, making a paperless office a reality.

Collaboration with your team has never been easier! In PIQNIC, you can create a project and assign your team. You can even share with people outside your organization, like suppliers or clients FOR FREE. You can delegate tasks, get approval and set deadlines. Progress tracking for each task and each individual is easily visible to all team members. Messages are shared on the project itself – no more jumping from the platform to a team app or email or chat thread to get something done. And best of all, it happens so seamlessly that you don’t even have to leave PIQNIC to do all of this.

Tasks and processes can be set up for you. Need to create a report document, then forward it to another person every month? Once you create the report, PIQNIC can automatically forward it to the designated person each month. Need to manage staff onboarding processes? No problem. Just set it up, and watch it run in PIQNIC
