WFMax Alternatives

It’s almost time for WorkflowMax to kick back, grab a piña colada and plan a golfing holiday because it’s retiring in June 2024. The good news is that there are plenty of really strong project management software options on the market, ready to swoop in and replace it. The challenge lies in figuring out which of the WorkflowMax alternatives is best suited to your business.

Here’s what we suggest:

Look at what WorkflowMax alternatives have been designed for your specific industry.

If you’re in professional services, you may look to a solution like Roll, a project management and collaboration platform that simplifies task tracking and team communication, or ProjectWorks, which has been designed to setup professional services businesses for scale. Those running trade services are more likely to find alignment with Next Minute, management software for the construction industry, or Fergus, a job management software tailored for trades and service businesses. There are WorkflowMax alternatives out there for all industries!

Narrow down your selection based on your business requirements and existing systems.

For example, Zoho Projects aligns really well with any business using Zoho’s CRM, syncing and integrating to ultimately supercharge efficiencies; Workguru is well suited for small and medium businesses, especially those offering trades or providing in-field services, like maintenance, repairs, or installations; and we find that GoJee is best suited for any business that offers custom manufacturing. Overall, Bluerock is the most like-for-like alternative to WorkflowMax, but unfortunately it’s not available until next year.

Talk to a partner.

Looking for an IT provider who is tech-agnostic, and therefore able to objectively provide recommendations after analysing your business. They should set you up to trial a couple of different options; you want solutions crafted around what feels most intuitive to you and your team. The partner should also be able to manage the entire WorkflowMax exit for you, migrating all of your existing data, setting up the new systems, training staff and providing ongoing support.
