Basecamp

Project Management, Web Application

A new way to collaborate on projects

Basecamp is a clean and simple way to collaborate with your team, and manage your projects. Connect Basecamp to your FreshBooks account and use FreshBooks timesheets to keep track of your projects, or create FreshBooks invoices directly from your completed Basecamp projects.

How it works

There are two options with the Basecamp integration. If you’re already tracking time to your projects in Basecamp, you can pull your projects and time entries directly into an invoice, set your rates and send your invoice off to your clients. Or, if you’re looking to take advantage of the time tracking features in FreshBooks, you can pull your projects and tasks into FreshBooks and use the FreshBooks time tracker as you work on your projects.

Basecamp - summed up

Basecamp is great for teams looking for a new approach to project collaboration. Share files, meet deadlines, assign tasks, centralize feedback, and make your clients smile. Basecamp tackles project management from an entirely different angle: A focus on communication and collaboration. Basecamp allows your team to effectively communicate the work they’ve been doing, and helps keep your clients in the loop.

Problems with API integration: UGH!

Where is there a sample of the URL that you are suppose to enter to integrate?

I started using Basecamp to help me with all the projects I'm involved in at Church. Now, instead of everyone calling to see what's going on, or to get "that file" again, or emailing all over trying to agree on a text for the bulletin, they just log in to Basecamp and see it for themselves. Seriously, if you collaborate, especially with people who don't work for you, check Basecamp out. It just may save your keister.

It was slick when it was working. However, it is currently broken and very frustrating.

Basecamp helped take my freelance business to the next level. My clients can follow along as I work on their project and are able to see estimates and invoices and even pay online. There is also an awesome and easy upgrade/downgrade option that really has helped me keep expenses leveled based on the flow of my business activity. Completely recommended!

I've been using BaseCampHQ and their associated HighRise products for years. It simplies communication between people working on the same project at different locations. My clients love it cause they get to see a projects status 24/7. I love it cause everyone knows who is responsible for what by when, and clients don't brow beat me with daily telephone calls "Is it finished yet?" Oh and the price is the kind of affordable monthly fee freelancers can afford. Try it out. Do a trial with a "limited account". Trust me, you'll be hooked after the first project!
