Kerika

Kerika is task management and creative collaboration for remote teams that integrates with Google Apps and Google Drive. Its core features include Kanban-style Task Boards, which can be used for tracking the progress of work across the user's custom workflow, and Whiteboards, which can include content and even other whiteboards.

Kerika’s boards are presented as flexible and scalable. A single account can include an unlimited number of boards, each with its own workflow and project team, and each board can be as large as needed.

Users can create a board from scratch or use one of the process templates to get started faster. Users can even create templates, to capture their organization's standard workflows and best practices.

Kerika integrates with Google Workspace: users can sign in with their Google IDs or an email, and all project files will get stored in the user's own Google Drive where they remain under the user's control for maximum privacy and security.

Users can also create new Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets and Google Forms from inside Kerika, and have them attached to their boards automatically. All files related to a board are shared automatically with everyone on the board's team: Team Members get read+write access, while Visitors get read-only access. As people join or leave a board, or have their roles changed, Kerika automatically changes their access to the relevant files, using its integration with the Google Apps APIs.

Kerika focuses on the needs of teams that are spread across the world. Due dates, for example, are automatically adjusted to reflect each user's current timezone, so the team will never again argue about what "due today" means.

Where a task management tool might flood users with notifications, Kerika offers a way of highlighting just what's changed on any card, across every board, so the user can quickly catch up on everything that happened while they were away.

Other features include Work-in-Progress Limits on Task Boards, to help avoid bottlenecks, and auto-numbering of cards.

The Dashboard provides a real-time view of everything that matters to the user, across all the boards and accounts they are working on: what's assigned to them, what's new and updated, what needs attention, what's due, and what got done.

The vendor states Kerika is designed and built for ordinary folks, not just techies, and is used by people in government departments, nonprofits, large global companies, small scrappy startups, and even students and teachers.

Trello users can import all their work into Kerika with just 1 click.
