Project management software for service businesses
Service teams need to see who is on which client job, with briefs and notes next to the tasks. Notion puts docs and tasks in one workspace, from $10/person, or $60/mo for 6 people, with templates for everything. Starting from a blank page can stall a team and offline mode is weak; Asana, from $10.99/person, gives timeline and workload views.
