Mavelink, like many other platforms out there, is a robust project management system. It is used across the organization in my case and every team member interfaces with it daily throughout the week. It is the primary tool that we use to keep track of timecards as well as project collateral and status.

The Mavenlink software is being used throughout my company. The main benefit of using Mavenlink is that we do not necessarily have to meet rigid deadlines. Mavenlink gives the company the ability to change or customize the deadlines based on any comment or any other factor.

As a tech and telecom PR, marketing and event planning firm, we use Mavenlink to manage all of our projects that involve design and/or outside freelancers to help us all have one easily accessible, easy to use, organized portal to keep projects in motion, and for a simplified way to keep track of all tasks, revisions, pricing, invoicing and more.

Mavenlink is used by our Branded Department. We use the tool to track the production of all projects our department receives. We rely on the Timeline tab to track our deliverables to be sent to clients so they understand the length of a project and when they are responsible for feedback. We use the time tracking tool to help up understand how much effort is being put into a project. We use this as a gauge for if we are over spending or meeting the mark on a project.

Pearl Marketing Group is using Mavenlink to help us cement new process flows and better manage our day-to-day tasks. Though there are many different departments at Pearl Companies, currently Marketing is the only department using Mavenlink. However, other departments that have seen what we're doing with the software are excited by what they see, and envious of our access to it. Mavenlink allows our Marketing department to address problems involved with the high volume of incoming projects and deadline organization.

Mavenlink is used by all users from the front to the back office. We have a specific department called Kaizen Services that implements best practices within the company, based upon Maven features. Based on our year of work, we saw tremendous up-take of performance within departments, especially hidden time that was consumed for reasons we couldn't track. In the past we thought simple tools were always the best (coming from Asana) but projects are complex, and require a powerful tool to tackle complex variables such as human beings.

We have fully integrated Mavenlink as our time tracking, project management and invoicing platform. This is a global company platform and has allowed us better visibility on projects, resources and tracking.

The whole organization uses Mavenlink for time tracking, project management, and resource management (last two are primarily used by PM/AM, traffic managers, and senior managers).

Before Mavenlink, we had no easy way of comparing our scheduled project time to actual time - our resource schedules were completely disconnected from all of our project plans. This meant all reporting calculations were done in Excel reports. Now, we have much more powerful reporting capabilities.

My company is using Mavenlink throughout our delivery organization. We use it to integrate nicely with Salesforce so that we're bridging the gap between our sales and delivery teams.

Mavenlink is helping us with project management, resource planning, time tracking and invoicing. It really is proving to be a one-to-shop for all of our needs we were looking to address.

We are a small management consulting firm and use Mavenlink mainly for time tracking, project tracking, budget/expense tracking, resource planning, and analytics. Everyone in our organization uses Mavenlink to submit hours and expenses and management uses it for detailed margin, budget, and utilization tracking.

We utilize Mavenlink for project management for all of our projects. It allows us to create tasks and assign them to users within the project. We also use this application for time management where we can record all hours for the project for review by customers. In addition we have begun to try to use it for expense reporting.

Mavenlink (ML) was used by a small consulting firm to log and track hours, by individual, to project milestones and deliverables. ML was far too robust a program for our needs and should not have been purchased, as alternative programs provide the necessary information for considerably less investment. The business problem of determining margin by project was achieved on less than 5% of all projects due to a lack of data input by employees. This is not a problem with the program but with internal commitment by employees.

Our entire team uses Mavenlink. We use it to create and manage projects, schedule and bill time, and to keep things organized. This helps us to see who we have on each project and to manage their weekly time in an amazing way. We also can keep track of when people are scheduled for PTO, when our freelancers are billing time, etc.

While I worked for the School of Rock as an IT Systems Manager I used Mavenlink on a daily basis. The company used the product to track progress while opening new schools(franchises) and averaged about 3 new school openings every 2 months. Many employees within the operations department of School of Rock also used Mavenlink to track their responsibilities while completing each project. From the time the franchise agreement was signed to when the school opened its doors all the necessary activities and milestones were tracked using Mavenlink. The tasks included getting leases signed, completing build-outs, hiring employees for the site, setting up IT assets and other various tasks. Mavenlink was a great tool as it was easy to track your own progress as well as hold others accountable for their duties and responsibilities.
