Often a project is led by one person who finds it difficult to cope with tracking all tasks
In our software, each user can manage tasks, add new bugs, comments, and requests to facilitate the work of project managers and evenly distribute the workload for all team members. To get access to all the features of KOALA DESK, they just need to have access to the Internet. This means that it does not matter how work processes occur in your company, and in what format your employees work.
Client/Target audience
The target audience of the created desktop application is the owners of small IT companies and project managers who need an easy-to-use project management solution for small groups where they can pay for each user separately (instead of paying for Premium services for all user groups).
Product vision
Product vision
That is why the created solution is an ideal choice for those owners of IT companies and project managers who do not want to pay for freelancers who use the application not only in the projects of a particular company but also outside of it. Now, this is no longer a problem - the Pay For Seats feature allows them to limit paid user options to a specific workspace. Also, thanks to our solution, now business owners do not need to pay for people who already have a premium subscription.

Our approach
Our main task was to create a flexible, scalable, and reliable solution with the ability to pay for features for each user separately. All these requirements are fully met by the following web development tools:
Django
This is a Python-based framework for developing web applications with which we created the backend
React JS
This is a JS library for creating user interfaces, we used it for frontend development
Testing
We paid special attention to testing the usability of the solution so that its interface has a minimal learning curve.
AWS S3
This is a cloud object storage with industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance.

FAQ
What is Cloud Project Management Software?
A cloud-based project management software coordinates the planning, development, delivery of the project and allows you to track the progress of tasks. Such systems greatly facilitate the work of even one person, as they are excellent task schedulers.
What are the benefits of Cloud Project Management Software and why is it so popular?
All information and tasks are structured, efficiency of joint execution of tasks increases, productivity of work increases and it becomes possible to track progress - these are just a small part of what project management systems can offer.
How much does it cost to develop a custom Project Management software?
The cost of development can vary from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands. If you plan to develop large corporate software, you will need much more time and resources than a planner for a small team. You can contact Owlab for a consultation and calculation.
Cloud Project Management Software as a Startup - Worth It?
SaaS (Software as a Service) has become a very popular option in 2022. More and more companies do not develop their software from scratch, but buy a “right to use”, that is, a subscription to services. But despite the popularity of this model, this area is an unplowed field where promising startups can roam.
