Achieving Project Zen: PlanCentral Launches Project Management and Collaboration App to Elevate Your Team

LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- One company aims to boost productivity and improve collaboration for teams with a unified platform that is ultra-simple to use with key productivity tools that work together. PlanCentral, the business software company that creates SaaS productivity applications for teams of all sizes, announced they are moving their project management and team communication application out of open beta with the official launch of its PlanCentral mobile app. PlanCentral combines project and task management, team chat, file organization and more, all in one integrated platform accessible via web or mobile app.

For many teams that need to juggle multiple apps in order to complete projects, the tools that were intended to make work easier have in many cases, made it more complicated. Furthermore, as more companies embrace telecommuting and working with teams in different locations, the need for project organization has become even more crucial. PlanCentral provides a simple, secure and central place for teams to manage projects and easily communicate. By streamlining the number of different apps to maintain and organize, PlanCentral allows teams to spend less time on grappling with technology and more time focusing on collaboration and accomplishing project goals.

According to a 2016 survey by The Access Group, reliability, ease of use, and ease of integration are the top three requirements project managers look for when shopping for software. Yet these requirements seem to go unnoticed by many project management products on the market, which are often difficult to use and crammed with extraneous functions that do little to actually facilitate projects.

"In creating PlanCentral, we focused on simplifying the tools that teams commonly use on projects in both design and functionality. The key was to keep usability simple but highly effective, which can be more challenging than adding a lot of features that are less useful," said Dale Kim, founder and CEO of PlanCentral. "Our vision is to empower teams by providing easy to use, effective and accessible solutions that enable them to accomplish goals and inspire higher potential."

PlanCentral is customizable to be used for a wide range of purposes and industries. It is currently being used by teams for technical development, design, marketing, support, sales, operations, HR and a myriad of other business projects. In many cases, users have observed projects being completed faster, better workflow, project emails reduced by over 90% and significant reduction in software spending costs for multiple apps.

In a landscape dotted with many well-known providers such as Basecamp, Trello, Asana, Slack, Jira, Dropbox and many others, PlanCentral stays focused on simplicity and accessibility for all types of teams. PlanCentral is free to use with most of the key functionality included. Upgraded plans and storage are available for Silver and Gold packages starting from just $25/month. The PlanCentral App is free to download in the Apple App Store or Google Play. Learn more at https://plancentral.com/packages_unlogged.php.
