Email is the most used tool for collaborating with external stakeholders, but it has a lot of limitations. Email was designed solely for messaging, and when used for business-critical collaborations (like contract negotiations and RFxes), it performs poorly, creating disorganization and chaos.
And while some structure is necessary, too much structure can also become an obstacle. We discussed this in our blog Improving the RFx Process with TakeTurns:
“Overly prescriptive processes create environments where non-productive tasks can become overwhelming. Needing to ‘click all the right boxes at just the right time or goading the underlying technology to meet your needs can leave you feeling like you’re trying to use a Rube Goldberg machine to accomplish what should be a simple task.”
TakeTurns provides just the right amount of structure for business-critical external collaborations, and adds productivity features that enable you to engage confidently with your external stakeholders.
- Turn-based workflow: You and your external stakeholders take turns working on documents and files.
- Recall messages and attachments: If you make a mistake, Recall is an “undo” feature that actually works.
- Automatically track file versions and revisions: See the full version history of each document and file.
- Document collection: Request files from external stakeholders and track fulfillment.
- Real-time discussions: Use the chat for real time discussions and quick questions.
