TaskTrek

In an office set up, email, intranet systems, messengers, and SMS are used to

communicate information. However, with the increasing channels of communication,

information gets scattered, lost at times and thus you end up wasting your time

organizing files. TaskTrek is a communication tool which keeps a team at one

place, helps in communicating with the team, allows sharing of documents amongst

members and more.

The communication and document management service developed by Loginworks is

targeted to SMEs and startups. The tools comprises of different gateways and

platforms for communicating with one another like e-mail, IMs, SMS, intranet

systems, etc. The tool not only provides capability to store information but

also provides accountability and clarity in work. 'Hosted' (Subscription/

Service) and 'Product' models are two different models that Loginworks offer to

its customers. In case of hosted model, TaskTrek is hosted on their own servers

and you just need a browser to access them. Iin case of product model, you get

complete control to operate it the way you want and it is hosted on your

servers. As part of a team, administrator has the complete control including

permission, defines policies, creates users, etc. The other people that plays an

important role in TaskTrek is accounts manager and product manager.

When you log in as accounts manager you have the complete authority to

control different tabs comprising of Dashboard, My Tasks, Activities, Reports,

Users, Clients, My Account, etc. To start with, you can add an activity just by

clicking on Add Activity and giving title, priority, description, start and end

date to it. In the activity section, there are sub-sections that comprises of

project activities, activity tasks, activity documents that allows you to add

documents in which you can define users who would share it. Through My Tasks,

you can add comments, documents, ask questions, enter log hours, etc. One

interesting thing about TaskTrek is that after adding a document you can email

the document to those who are not in the TaskTrek list.

As you log in as Accounts Manager, you can create users, clients, add activities and more.
