Kerika’s boards are completely flexible and scalable, so every project can be set up just the way you need. Use Kerika in any of 38 languages. *** No Limits *** With a single account you can have as many boards as you want and set up each board with its own workflow and project team, and these boards can get as large as you need. You can create a board from scratch or browse the library of templates to get started faster. You can even create your own custom templates, to capture your organization’s standard practices. *** Kerika and Google Workspace *** Kerika integrates beautifully with your Google Apps: sign in with your Google ID, and all your project files will get stored in your own Google Drive where they remain under your organization's control for maximum privacy and security. (Your IT folks will love this!) You can even create new Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets and Google Forms from inside Kerika, and have them attached to your boards automatically. *** Kerika and Office 365 *** Kerika also integrates beautifully with your Office 365: sign in with your Microsoft ID, and all your project files will get stored in your own OneDrive. You can even create new Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files from inside Kerika, have them attached to your boards automatically, and shared with your team automatically.. *** Kerika and Box *** Kerika is also great for folks who prefer Box: sign up with your Box ID and your project files are automatically stored in your own Box account. You can even create new Box Notes from inside Kerika and have them shared automatically with your team. *** Smart Highlights*** Other tools may flood you with notifications, but Kerika has a unique way of highlighting just what's changed on any card, across every board, so you can catch up on everything that happened while you were away. *** Avoid Bottlenecks *** Kerika helps you avoid bottlenecks by warning you when there are too many cards in a single column; you set the Work-in-Progress limits, of course. *** Built for Growth *** Start small and grow your business with Kerika. As your boards increase over time, Kerika's new Dashboard makes sure you never miss a beat, no matter how much is happening. See at a glance What's Assigned to Me, What's Due, What Got Done, What Needs Attention, What's New & Updated. *** Designed for Remote Teams *** From the very beginning Kerika has focused on the needs of distributed teams. (We work across 3 continents, so we know what makes remote teams successful.) Due dates, for example, are automatically adjusted to reflect your current timezone, so you will never again argue about when "today" ends. *** Built for Everyone *** We have users in government, nonprofits, large global companies and small scrappy startups. Kerika is even used worldwide by students and teachers. You can use Kerika in any of 38 languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Bahasa Indonesia, French, German, Thai, Hindi, Gujarati, Ukrainian, Russian, Chinese, Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Serbian, Japanese, Greek, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, Czech, Estonian, Latvian, Tagalog, Croatian, Romanian, Vietnamese, Slovakian, Bosnian, Dutch, Finnish, Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Malay, Polish, Turkish, and English.
