Plana vs Asana

Your jobs, not just your tasks.

Asana keeps a team's tasks in order for any kind of work. A sign or event job is more than tasks: a quote, the materials, artwork and proofs, the floor, the install, the invoice. Plana has a place for each, ready on day one.

Questions

We still have a few non-job tasks. Where do they go?
Keep a short list in Asana if it suits you. Plana is for the jobs: everything from the first email to the paid invoice.
Can we try it alongside Asana first?
Yes. Start the next few jobs in Plana and keep the rest where they are. Plana starts filing your emails on the jobs straight away.
Does Plana do our accounts?
Plana makes the quotes and invoices, but it doesn't do your books. Keep Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks for that.
