Kanban made simple: Progress is here

We're thrilled to announce the latest innovation in our suite of tools designed to streamline your artwork management process—Progress, a powerful new feature within the Cway app that brings real-time visibility to your projects.

What is Progress App?

Progress App is an intuitive, Kanban-style board integrated directly into your Cway platform. This app is designed to streamline your artwork management, providing you with the tools to track projects with clarity and efficiency. With Progress, you can now visualize each step of your workflow as it moves through various stages—Planned, Active, and Done—offering you a clear snapshot of where every piece of artwork stands at any given moment. 

Why is Progress a Game-Changer?

1. Real-Time Visibility: The Kanban board layout provides an at-a-glance view of all ongoing tasks, allowing you to quickly identify bottlenecks and keep everything moving smoothly.

2. Enhanced Organization: Progress offers robust sorting capabilities that let you filter tasks by user, artwork category, project, artwork name, or order number. This means you can drill down into the specifics of your workflow with ease, ensuring that nothing slips through the cracks.

3. Seamless Collaboration: As part of the Cway ecosystem, Progress integrates perfectly with the other tools you use for artwork management. Team members can see updates in real time, making it easier to collaborate, reduce delays, and keep projects on track.

4. Improved Efficiency: By visualizing the entire workflow, Progress helps teams stay aligned and focused. The ability to track tasks as they move from planning to completion means you can anticipate challenges before they arise and address them proactively.
