YES!  I have been using Trello for a couple weeks now with some other FIRST Robotics* mentors working on a project, and it is fantastic.  Desktop, iPhone, iPad, notifications when a task you're on is updated...I don't know how I did this for ten seasons without it!  You won't be disappointed.


Car-dealer thoughts:


-Track reconditioning in lists!  One stock number per card, and you can attach photos from your phone.  Work gets done, archive the card.  Create an organization, and you can easily add salesmen and vendors so everyone can get to and add to information.  Selling point for salesmen: if they were waiting on a car to get a dent out before calling a customer, they can get a push notification or an email saying the card has been archived.

-I suppose you could get a very rudimentary CRM going here, if you were so low-volume that CRM pricing didn't make sense.  (I didn't say it was a GOOD system, just that you could make it work in a pinch.)


*I know I plug this in half of my posts, but it is a fantastic organization for getting students excited about science and engineering.  There's probably a team near you that could use your help, and not even strictly financial help--some could use technical mentors, some could benefit from a place to demo their robot.  Look it up!
