Product Details

What is Basecamp?

Basecamp is a web-based project-management tool developed by 37signals in Chicago and launched in 2004. The Ruby on Rails framework was extracted from the Basecamp project.

Basecamp offers features standard to project management platforms, including to-do lists, wiki-style web-based text documents, milestone management, file sharing, time tracking and a calendar, and a messaging system. Mobile accessibility is supported. Notably, it supports unlimited users. It also offers integration with 37signals' own Campfire product, which expands the group messaging functionality of the core platform. Customization, accessibility, and functionality are extended further by the broad range of apps available for free from 3rd parties. A 2-month free trial is available. Pricing is dependent upon space requirements and the number of concurrent projects, not the number of users.

It's like the perfect mix of a calendar, team meeting, email chain, and progress worksheets, if that makes sense? It's this all-in-one digital tool that helps us all stay accountable for the many moving parts of our business. And we're all equally responsible for upkeeping and maintaing it

We Love Basecamp

When we onboard a new employee, we get them on Basecamp on day one. We do the same with customers as long as they are computer-literate enough to handle it. It is so much more organized than email communications and being able to send large files is a game changer.

We are able to keep all of the work we do for different clients separate and organized. It makes it easy to find things and track time when using the Everhour extension. It is less appropriate when we need to work with large files. It can take a long time to upload and can just crash the window. Sometimes we have to just post a link to Dropbox because of the size of the file.
