They aspire to be a partner businesses can count on, not only when it comes to creating stunning digital experiences, but also providing meaningful, sustainable solutions that elevate their clients’ brands.

Growing Business with ActiveCollab

Pr24 used to be Berginformatik, a small agency in the Swiss Alps, providing personalized web and IT services. Even then, the team relied on ActiveCollab to manage projects, tasks, people, and time.

“From the very beginning, ActiveCollab grew with us, evolving from a simple project management tool to be an integral part of our daily operations. It scaled alongside our company, enabling us to stay organized and keep communication seamless as we transitioned from a small local team to a comprehensive digital partner.”

Everything changed in 2020. The team’s vision and ambitions grew, and so did their business. This growth didn’t come without challenges.

With more complex projects, and expanded service offering, it became crucial for the team to keep everything organized while maintaining transparency.

ActiveCollab turned out to be a game-changer, helping pr24 streamline their workflows, assign tasks clearly, track time precisely, and generate detailed reports for their clients. ActiveCollab allows the pr24 GmbH team to maintain a high level of transparency and trust with their clients, even as they juggle multiple projects simultaneously.

In ActiveCollab, the team created a knowledge base, with SOPs and similar guidelines. They also document how each task is resolved for solution tracking, operational consistency, and future reference.
