Kimber M
Office Manager
4.0

Kimber M.: My name is Kimber. My job title is office manager. Our company is called Architects Collective. We're a relatively small architect firm with less than 15 employees, but everything is in-house. We do keep track of our time, our personal time and then also our time on projects so that we can help stay within budget or create future budgets. We are still in the early stages of using Monograph, but so far I would say probably four stars. Just a couple of glitches here and there, but it's done well for us. We used a QuickBooks-type system and also a different timekeeping system. And we also had to keep track of all of our prints and everything in order to implement all of those into the same reports to generate our monthly invoices to each of the clients. Quite a few different programs. I would say price drove us more than anything else. But once we got it established, it was much more user-friendly than the previous programs we were using. We were able to onboard or integrate anything. So we had to input all of our data into the system by hand, and it was horrible. It was not a good part of the process. But once everything was in the system, we were able to see how much better than the previous program it was. I would definitely say if your data is able to be imported so that you don't have to do it, that was one of our biggest hurdles. But just make sure that the program is what you're needing, because there's been different things that we've had to manipulate it and work to what we needed. But all in all, I think it's worked out pretty well.

Xavier C
Founder
5.0

Xavier: Hi, my name is Xavier. I'm the founder of Mixtons, and I would rate Trello a 5 out of 5. So prior to Trello, we were using monday.com, and I found that it was actually too convoluted and too confusing to try and integrate with the team. So Trello, being a simple Kanban, was far easier for our team to understand, and therefore we decided to implement it across the board. We chose Trello, A, because it was free to begin with, which obviously made it much more appealing for us as a team, as a small business. But secondly, just how simple it was. It's probably the simplest of all the platforms. And you do have very simple integrations that you can have. So for us, it just made sense given our size and scale. The biggest perk of Trello is just how simple the whole thing is. A couple of YouTube tutorials can make you easily understand how to set it all up. And given how customizable all the Kanban boards are, you can have different ones for operations, sales, marketing, et cetera. So it was very simple to implement. So the biggest piece of advice I'd have for someone integrating Trello is to make sure that you have each of your pillars of the business set up in different boards, making sure that everything is trackable, but also that if you do have a premium account, which I would recommend, that you utilize the Power-Ups because they can be a little bit hidden, but once you discover them, they're actually very useful.
