Build a project and task management tool with Melta - the way your team works

What a product like this can do

A project and task management tool answers the same question every day: who does what by when, and where do we stand? Which building blocks your product gets for that is written down in the concept. These are the typical ones:

A tool of your own instead of a large project suite

The large project tools are built for teams with project managers, sprints and reports; for a small business, an agency or a founding team they are often too much. A product of your own maps exactly the workflows you have, in your own words and without ballast, and it belongs to you, with your own domain and your own data.

How small such a tool may be is shown by the example product TeamTakt: weekly team tasks for teams of 2 to 10 people, with due dates, owners, comments on the task and a weekly overview at its heart. Melta has not yet built a full project and task management tool with boards, a timeline and a guest role as an example product; TeamTakt is the related example of how a task tool grows out of a description in plain language.

How Melta builds it

1. Describe - You tell it in your own words how your team works: which projects there are, who takes on tasks, whether you plan weekly, whether clients should be able to read along. Melta asks up to four non-technical follow-up questions.
2. Read the concept - From that comes a concept in plain language: which pages exist, what happens on each, which roles there are. You change it by chat until it fits.
3. Confirm and have it built - When you confirm, the build starts, paid from the credits of your plan. Melta builds the product: interface, logic, accounts, database, emails, legal pages. Typically within 24 hours; you get an email when it is done.
4. Preview with test logins - The finished product runs in a private preview with demo projects and named test logins for admin, member and guest. You click through it the way your team will later.
5. Go live - In seconds, with no rebuild. Before that, Melta checks that your operator details for the imprint are complete. You choose which preview data comes along, and you can roll back to the previous live version if needed.
6. Keep developing by chat - "Add a field for effort", "guests should be able to comment": you write it in the editor's chat, watch it being done, can steer along the way, and deploy the result to the preview or live. Change runs are included in every plan.

What comes with it

Accounts with registration, password reset, email confirmation and the roles from your concept are built in, on a database of its own, isolated from every other product. If you sell the product as a subscription, payment processing is included: your customers see your product as the merchant, payouts go to your bank account, and you need no separate contract with a payment provider. Emails go out under your product's name, replies land in the support inbox, which sorts them automatically. On top of that come imprint, privacy policy and terms generated from your operator details for Switzerland, Germany and Austria (general information, not legal advice), a melta.ai subdomain or, from the Growth plan, your own domain, cookieless analytics, error monitoring and protection against spam on logins and forms. Hosting is globally distributed, with no server to manage and no maintenance contract.

You own what runs.

What it costs

A concept uses only a few credits; afterwards your product runs on a plan per organisation with credits every month. All numbers and how the price is made up are on the pricing page.
