Busy managing a bunch of projects, a mobile team and looming deadlines? Never fear, Basecamp is here. 

Back to basics

Billing itself as the world's best project management tool, Basecamp certainly looks slick and ticks all the boxes you'd expect to accompany such a claim.

That includes cloud storage, unlimited users, document editing, and iOS and Android compatibility.

Collaborate and listen

Where Basecamp really shines though is in its collaborative features.

Every user gets their own login, profile and dashboard that displays information relevant to their task on the project at hand. 

For managers, Basecamp allows users to create and manage “projects” and all associated work, including permissions, timelines and guidelines for stakeholders. 

We found Basecamp's interface clean, easy to use and most of all fast, a big bonus when it comes to cloud-based software. 

Live support

In addition to all the bells and whistles, Basecamp also provides free weekly lessons and live Q&A sessions. 

If you want a few more tips into how Basecamp can benefit your business, there's also a blog full of handy hints.

Test drive

While Basecamp isn't free it's good value, with prices starting at US$20 per month.

If you like the sound of Basecamp you can sign up for a no-obligation 60 day trial and see for yourself.
