InLoox Review

Organize Your Work

Many clients contact InLoox because they outgrew other tools or try to replace a system that doesn’t work for them. The most common setup is a team environment, anywhere between five and 50 people, working on a joint project. InLoox recommends to define key results at the beginning of a project and turn them into milestone events in the project schedule. Team members should be encouraged to create and add tasks to the corresponding milestone that achieve these goals. This gives the entire team clear visibility into how every task is helping to complete a goal and helps them set priorities for organizing their work.

For Effective Communication

A common scenario seen by InLoox is lack of communication within project teams. Many team members have the feeling that they spend most of their time in meetings, on the phone, or answering emails. It might happen that some employees suffer from information overload, whereas others miss important information. InLoox connects all team members without being in the same office. All relevant dates, tasks, and documents are on one central platform and all information is real-time up to date. Accomplished tasks are reflected immediately in the visual project overview. Using the “comment” and “notification” features included in InLoox ensures that no project-related communication gets lost in anyone’s inbox.

Distribute Workload Evenly

Another common problem in project teams is the unequal division of work. Some team members are on their last legs, because they suffer from work overload, whereas others are bored, because they don’t have enough to do. With InLoox, project managers get a visual resource overview. It integrates both project work packages and Outlook calendar entries. Project managers can monitor real-time workload and spare capacities not only on a group level, but also on an individual level, e.g. when they assign tasks. At the push of a button, they can reassign tasks to create a balanced workload for all team members.
