Today we implemented some improvements in the Worksheet in Swydo. We improved some small user interface stuff, but the important change is we dropped the ‘subscription’ , sort of. We always had a lot of debate within Swydo on the difference between a project and a subscription. To me a project has a start and an end date. A subscription based service, like “Google Adwords Management’  is an ongoing service, at least for a couple of months, that your perform. 

In a project one is interested in the progress measured against the total, while in a subscription one is interested in progress on a monthly basis. I always thought that was a vital difference and a real usp of Swydo in comparison with current PM tools that you could differentiate between aproject and a subscription. But the term subscription could lead to confusion. So we dropped it, but not really. Now you ca add a project, but when you do that we ask if it is an ongoing or non recurring project. When you choose ongoing, than we measure the progress against the monthly measure. When you choose non recurring, that its basically a project.

We feel that with this change we made the User Interface cleaner, easier and we think more users will use the power of subscriptions, eeeehhhhh, ongoing projects I mean.

We see a lot of hits on the search term “Swydo review”. Ok, we are a bit biased but we thought to give you a comprehensive list of USP’s, why we think Swydo is the perfect tool for online marketers:

- Projects and subscriptions, so tracking time and tasks per month. We know of no other system that supports this.
- Integration of tasks with Google Calendar (and Outlook), so Swydo tasks are neatly integrated in your daily Calender.
- Recurring tasks, eg making monthly reports.
- Integration with Google docs. All your documents linked in Swydo per customer.
- Track time per consultant.
- Track time per project and subscriptions, including progress.
- Integration with Google Adwords, Google Analytics and Google Webmaster tools.
- Reporting with your own logo or logo of the customer.
- Reporting of Adwords, Analytics and webmaster tools metrics.
- Choose the widgets and accompanying text you wish to include in the reports.
- Templates for reporting, so a lot of time saving there.
- Access via your own Google Account, so no new username and password.
- Data is retrieved real time and just for you , so Swydo does not store sensitive data and data cannot be viewed by anyone else (not even by us).
- The application is hosted at a first class hosting company and is backed up daily. The data from adwords etc. it just at Google. Part of the data (customer logos) are stored in the cloud with Amazon.
- New features every month.

So please discuss these USP’s and try Swydo for your own department or agency.
