What it does for you

A visual board for each team or project, organized into columns like "To Do", "In Progress", and "Done", where tasks are cards moved smoothly via drag and drop. Every employee knows their assigned responsibilities, and managers see project bottlenecks at a glance without chasing status updates. All task boards and attached files stay on a server we host for you in Egypt.

It is a module of Asas by FoundationCX, working seamlessly alongside company file storage.

Who it is for

Frequently asked questions

Is it an alternative to Trello?

Yes: Kanban boards, columns, cards, assignees, deadlines, and comments work just like Trello. The difference is running on your company's private server in Egypt, connected directly to your internal file storage and calendars.

What is the difference between it and Project Management?

Task boards provide simple visual card tracking for general business teams. For software engineering teams needing sprint cycles, release milestones, and velocity metrics, see team project management.

Do card due dates show up on my calendar?

Yes, tasks with due dates automatically sync with the assigned user's internal calendar.

Can we migrate our existing boards from Trello?

Yes, as part of data migration, and we review the imported results with you.

Our limits

  • It does not track billable hours or calculate financial project profitability; for that, see projects and timesheets.
  • The software is from its developer (Nextcloud); our role is hosting, configuration, operation, and support.
