THE CHALLENGE
Challenges faced during the development of Online Team Collaboration & Task Management Platform
Challenges faced during the development of HeyCollab
Lack of Technical Expertise
It was necessary to have a team of professionals who can design a suitable app with technical skills to develop a seamless online team communication platform.
High-Cost Team
To develop the platform, they decided to hire an in-house team of professionals. However, they analyzed that it was costly.
Access to Limited Resources
In order to develop a perfect platform with all the features, all the latest resources must be used with updated technologies and infrastructure, which was not available.
The solution
A platform that has been cleverly built to meet the ever-changing needs of digital professionals.
OpenXcell provided a dedicated team of domain-specific technology experts to develop an online team collaboration and task management platform. The platform was developed with all the features and at almost 60% less cost than supposedly invested in hiring an in-house team. It was a Saas-based product with features like a Gantt chart, calendar, boards, real-time chats, etc which were the highlights of the product. The OpenXcell team took care of everything, from a scalable staff to a significant cost reduction. The client received all the required resources and was able to take advantage of the most up-to-date infrastructure to construct a platform that could connect projects and teams while making communication rapid and straightforward.

Built cost-effectively without cutting corners on features
Delivered Without the In-House Overhead
An external team with the right technical skills replaced the cost of hiring and maintaining an in-house department.
Multiple Views, One Task System
Kanban and Gantt chart views run off the same underlying task data, so teams aren't maintaining two separate systems.
Messaging Stays Close to the Work
One-on-one chat lives next to task management, instead of being a separate tool teams have to switch to.
