Zoho Projects is a project management platform for small to medium businesses. It's part of Zoho's popular cloud-based business ecosystem, which also includes CRM, finance, and HR solutions.

Collaboration is a major theme for Zoho. Files in Zoho Projects are kept in one central hub, so team members have access to them whenever they want. Zoho points out that many projects involve hundreds or even thousands of different files, many stored on different computers, and that time and resource can be saved by providing a single point of access. The hub also tracks file changes so that a team is always working on the most up to date version of a file.

Task management is also a key part of the software and, like some but not all of its competitors, Zoho allows users to assign tasks not only to team members but also to outside collaborators. Time tracking is available on a per-task basis. Dependencies – when one task needs to be completed before another can start – are also programmable and trackable.

Other features include timesheets, custom workflow, and even invoicing tools to assist in client management.

Zoho offers a free plan for up to three users, with the first paid package starting at £2 per user per month. Support is available via email.
