Help your business

Some time ago we (webmaniacs) started to create our own project, even mention was made at the Habré to test, the test was quite successful - we received feedback, many people expressed interest in such a service, some of our mistakes were pointed out.

We spent almost half a year on bringing ideas to mind, expanding the functionality, bugfix, some things were rethought - and present the second version of our project - labourist.com .

The basic idea is an online service assistant for small businesses (state of emergency, freelancers, sales managers, studios).
All our business lives are “projects”, one way or another, we take part in them - from the customer’s side or from the contractor, many “lead” these projects in a notebook (even the Post-it leaves on the monitor), the most “advanced” try to use tracking tools used in software development cycles and huge and unwieldy CRM systems didn’t work for most of us - and now we decided to offer you a simple and concise online service. I will not spend karma on marketing words, just briefly describe the functional.

So:

• Project management (tasks, deadlines) with emphasis on payment control (who paid what, what for and when and how much was owed), 2 types of projects - income and expenditure, project articles, payments and contacts. Notifications of upcoming events, calendar.
• Document circulation - project documents, with versioning support, notifying interested parties.
• Contacts storage is a list of business contacts that is pass-through for all client's projects, with the ability to add tasks, payments, documents to the client.
• There is a "screenshots" functionality so as not to waste your time when communicating with customers / performers, you can simply show the system a “screenshot” of the situation on their project, where it will be explained “why so much?”

the entire project is wrapped in SSL, the simplest registration (no confirmation or extra data), a demo project, there is even an affiliate program.

The project will not stand still, planned in the near future functionality in order of priority:

• API
• Reports (including PDF)
• Additional notification methods
• Premium accounts with extra functionality
• We will not yet advertise one of the planned “features”, but we think it will be very useful.

How does the project differ from several western analogues? (we have already found two analogues and they work in a different way)

• Localization - both linguistic and mental;
• More liberal rates;
• Ease of use.

Monetization

For most users, the service is free, but we will not lie to anyone - we are waiting, at a minimum, for self-sufficiency, the start-up business model provides for the sale of services, in excess of some free volume sufficient for most, a little later premium accounts will appear. Separately, I emphasize that the service is free until you go beyond the monthly consumption limit.

The project can be found here https://labourist.com , demo entry .
And here, there is a small "tour" with screenshots https://labourist.com/tour/ .

I will be glad to answer all your questions.
