Ask HN: SaaS tools for managing Startup activities?

Hi all,

I am working with a co-founder and we have a flurry of activities going on. I was looking at project management SaaS (such as Asana) but I am not sure - there are so many out there. We are a hardware startup with a bunch of chaos in terms of materials, design, prototypes, manufacturing schedules, supply chain, logistics, etc.

We are currently using Dropbox Paper to make lists but it is getting out of control. How can we organize our selves with clear priorities, dependences and schedules for tasks?

Any suggestions appreciated! :)

Have you looked at https://airtable.com? It allows you to create flexible forms and sheets to manage different kinds of information flows.

Hi!

What about our team, we are working remotely and use (and work on) Riter: https://riter.co/. However, we are a software development team and don't have the same chaos in the workflow :) Just in case, if it can help you:

Riter allows to manage the whole company with all its projects, teams and customers. The main features are:

- task management and sprint planning (todos, tags, task states);

- time estimation and tracking;

- collaboration (comments, file sharing, assignment, access control);

- project statistics (time spent, activity, performance, etc.);

- groups of projects (combine several projects into temporary groups for simultaneous work);

- GraphQl API.
