Streamlining and Automating Business with Asana

We have always been on the lookout for ways to streamline and automate our business because we don’t see any sense in a process that is tedious. A lean process saves time and energy and delivers the same result if not better. If you want to go about your business in a lean and mean way, streamlining and automating is the way to go. And, that is our mission – to help businesses streamline and automate their processes the way we’ve been doing ours.

We’re happy to share that recently, we started using an amazing project management tool called Asana. In a nutshell, it is an application that you can use to manage teams so you can start on projects and end with checkmarks.  Asana can help you with the following:

  • Attachments – you can attach files to your tasks or conversations. Files can come from your computer, Dropbox, Box or Google Drive.
