It’s hard to say since I’ve used Basecamp for the entirety of my career across three separate companies, but I can at least offer an idea of how it’s improving our clients business: The removal of ambiguity in communication. By having a single place to post all messages, files, and deadlines related to a project we remove the possibility of silo’d conversations.

Since I introduced them to Basecamp 3 and got them set up, we are all able to see everything that’s going on, who needs help with what, what tasks need to be done and what is completed in real time.

Before Basecamp, I was the central information hub and nearly all product questions flowed through my email inbox.

There are no hidden emails on someone else’s computer that you don’t have access to preventing from you being in the know. –Joshua Harrell, HeavyDuty Branding

More open and fluid communications. Previously working on large distributed teams, emails would leave out some members because it (initially didn’t pertain to them).

With messages in Basecamp, we choose to notify who we need to, but the team at any point can go through the list of comms in the Message board to catch up on the project and get the big picture. So in short, better/effective communication and situational awareness of the entire team on the project. –Sean Bernardino, NIIT

Communication issues are becoming less and less frequent. Not everyone has adapted to using this program but for those of us who have we are spending much less time sorting through emails and hand written notes. –Matt Gulley, Arroweye Solutions

Now I can assign people task and forget about it. I am engaging more of my employees slowly and gradually to reduce the emails and reminders. –Nish Patel, Paperchase Accountancy

Our old meetings or conversations, we’d discuss the things that needed to be accomplished for the day or week, each person would write down notes and move on, hoping all those tasks would be finished. Many times they weren’t and our work progress would get slowed down. We came up with a new policy called “action based communication.” Now when employees have meetings or conversations they must finish it with all party’s agreeing on what actions need to be put in Basecamp, the tasks are immediately put in basecamp. We found a 65% quicker rate to finishing tasks, and complications and miss-communications decreased immensely. –Casey Allred, Effect.org

Basecamp simply keeps my project schedule organized. Organization makes my life easier. Therefore, Basecamp makes my life easier.

Actually following processes — before BaseCamp, we had verbally agreed upon processes, or even occasionally documented processes, but they’d be written down in some Operations Manual somewhere that no on knew how to access.

Unclogged a clogged stream. I can see her work in real time. The other day, I woke up at 5am and glanced at my phone, and I could see exactly what she was doing. She’d written me notes while she was working, and I responded right away. That never could have happened before. I then decided to use it for my designer, who is also a freelancer off site. I created a folder for design notes and ideas. Mostly, through, he just uploads new work and we can talk about it in Basecamp. I really, really like how Basecamp gets this stuff out of the text and email stream. –Brian Mooney, Storymatic Studios

Communication between us and our clients. I work one-on-one with private design clients, but my assistant also takes care of them throughout the process, too.

More organization and better tracking of processes and progress. –Eric, Booster Club

We have greatly reduced, almost eliminated, what falls through the cracks. –Ricardo Concepcion, Bathrooms Unique

Less time spent on answering ’where are we at?’ questions. –Janos Baksa, Pacific Comprehensive Cancer Programs

We are getting better about not using thousands of emails to sync up conversations about some of our projects, which then lead to people being left out or having to sort through thousands of things to find the one you want.

It’s nourishing much more effective AND ENJOYABLE! connection and collaboration. –Julie, SelfDesign

Basecamp takes care of recording and maintaining all the *meta* information (when, who, assigned to who etc) that sometimes becomes the focus of the team rather than what we are together to do.

When I first started using basecamp I had about 42 people as staff. There was a lot of confusion, wasted time and problems and I was always super stressed and sad. Within a year I cut my team in half yet was able to produce 4X more work. Today I use basecamp with a core team of 8 people who run a 7 figure business with basecamp at the heart of the business. I just returned from 22 days vacation in Krabi, Chiang Mai and Bangkok with my family, it only took me a short glimpse in Basecamp App to know what’s going on and keep my finger on the pulse. During that time, while strolling on the beach, kayaking, or going to Thai cooking school, I gained a huge new client, and garnered rave reviews for the team performance. Isn’t life great? –Sivan Law-Yone Gilad, Longwei Co.

Communication is so much easier. If it is an important document, it is posted. If it is an important message it is posted. Organization has also improved. Working in a school, there are generally about a dozen projects you are working on at one time. Wires get crossed, you don’t know if you are reading an email about project one or project two. My inbox can be a disaster at times.

Transparency. The default on Basecamp is that everybody can see everything that has been going on. –Niko Nyman, Immersal Ltd.

Longterm projects seem to flow up and down from active to stale, sort of like a roller coaster. Basecamp helps me keep projects active within a team.

There’s more communication. I’ve followed the “Heartbeats” idea that Jason Fried posted on Medium and used it to get me talking with my subcontractors (including one who is about to become a business partner) in the one place on a daily basis. I’ve also created a mutual support group for a particular class of client (self-published authors), where everyone can see the advice I give to people with a particular problem. This has taken the place of a Facebook Group that never really got off the ground because a lot of my clients aren’t very tech savvy or engaged on social media. –Ben Hourigan, Hourigan & Co.

The new automatic check-ins feature in Basecamp 3 rocks, got lots of interesting feedbacks from team members (like how they spend their weekend), and it makes team members know each others more than before (we have 2 remote members). –Yuanyi Zhang, MockingBot

We communicate better, have accountable deadlines and can see what others are doing to contribute to the project. –Levi, Towards Maturity

There’s a lot more communication now between us and definitely more organization. Everything the team does is transparent to everyone else, which helps with keeping everyone accountable. –Ashot Hareyan, First Foundation

Since we started using Basecamp to synthesize our editorial calendar and social media content aggregation, our Communications team has gotten in-sync around priority posts, task completion and building month-long narrative arcs. –Brian Solem, AIDS Foundation of Chicago

Being able to focus communications about specific topics in separate message threads seems to make our work more efficient. –Lisa Perkins, Old Dogs New Digs

We are better able to coordinate efforts by knowing what everyone is doing and we have more time for creative collaboration rather than updating each other on details. –Kim C Nelson, Western Michigan University

I’ve been able to gather information from our participating study sites much quicker using the automatic check-in feature. –Anusha Krishnadasan, Olive View UCLA Education and Research Institute

The one thing that has changed is being able to keep ourselves accountable for our tasks. Because we started to put everything in Basecamp (to-dos, events, email threads, ideas, etc) we have been more efficient. We are a multi-media film company and organization is KEY! We now have a place to put our storyboards, checklists and more. Before Basecamp, there wasn’t a dedicated space for these files so we were constantly emailing ourselves the same documents all the time. Now, we can either go on our iPhones or Macs and find things easily. –Alex Villasenor, Emerging Light Media

We love the archive feature because we run seasonal events so we get to pull it back up a year later with all those details already in place but don’t have to keep it on our dashboard. Campfire is also super exciting for us because we can keep the trail of messages instead of having to search our emails. –Wanda Whipkey, American Elite

My team is much more organized and can now effectively communicate any progress or challenges we encounter. –Nestor Carrillo, Chromatin Inc.

We actually stick with it and want to put things on here. –Alejo Rivera, Junto Studio

Huge reduction in emails! –Wayne Mylin, AOBTA

The work has improved, because we can easily share inspiration and feedback across the team on a specific thread. –Angus Gastle, Workspace

We are much better organized and retain historical information in one place much better instead of it getting lost in a sea of emails over the past few years –Vaibhav Andleigh, Totten Pond Village Condo Association

Compared to Google Docs, It is easier to bring in new project participants from outside the organization. –Brent Baas, LeTourneau University

I have better communication with my assistant about all the things going on in my busy tax accounting practice.

We’ve been able to easily involve our customers and other stakeholders in our projects, and provide constant feedback so that everyone is on the same page. –Chris Pearce, Forsyth Tech

We are streamlined. Our organization is fully dialled in and we do less email. –Jay Leishman, Leishman & Hornung Online Advertising

Sharing our “anything lately that inspired you”. It’s been fun to get a better idea of who we are as people and interests outside of work. –Craig Keating, Score Valves

It’s much easier to keep and find the “archive” of communication. –David Horne, Honestly

We communicate easier and those communications are more organized and thoughtful. –Loren Greenway, Wilderness Medical Society

Individual accountability has increased. –Simon Andrews, Kummler + Matter AG

We’ve all been able to keep up to date on changes on group projects. Before it was very fragmented, and often even I would forget what I told to whom, and it was very messy and led to confusion and waste of time. Since Basecamp, It’s very easy to make sure that everyone get’s the right information. –Alvaro Pastor, Innovacion Natural

Things are better communicated as they are all in one place and even when you are not on a project 100%, you can keep track of it. –Gala Fombella Shuckburgh, GEN Europe

It is better organized, it saves us a lot of time and our mailboxes are empty again. –Vincent Ariens

Organisation; helps keep all members of a team all working together in one space to get things done faster, preventing cross platform work and therefore items getting missed. –Amy Forde, Iconic Offices

A better organized workplace. Basecamp serves as our hub for files, projects, tasks, clients… Basically, all the office work that we do. We are even thinking in using it to manage classes and training/development programs. –João Sevilhano, EEC

Being able to post all meeting papers and large documents at the press of a button, took away unnecessary royal mailing of papers. –Maureen Thompson, Teesside Hospice

We’re more aware of the projects each person is working on. –Jaime Dyer, London EBS

People are more structured and projects have more visibility. –Radu Jitea, Groupon

It has added a new level of transparency and accountability to the team and our internal clients. –Ben Aycock, Highwoods Properties

More transparency. Less emails, and hey what is the status of that? –Susan Delikat, Focus

Prioritization and distribution of our workload. Using the different "reports’ the team can see how our workload stacks across the week. It forces us to be realistic with what we have planned, and we can make quick adjustments and delegate more effectively. Once a task is in Basecamp, I no longer have to worry about whether it will get done. –Nathan Thompson, Sears Holdings

It would be nearly impossible to run our business without Basecamp. With at least 100 client projects open at any given time and 89 tasks loaded in our new job template the notion of trying to assign tasks, track discussions, tasks and progress without BC is inconceivable. Short answer is the clarity Basecamp brings to the flow of our business. –Mike Malone, Malone & Company

Less email. Less chaos. –Marc Schegg, 3BaysOver

A central place to communicate and store docs is huge. –Chris Nevins, Fuel the Mission

Communication. And a place to go when you need info. We have a lot of moving parts and people traveling so communication and access to files, notes, etc at any time is critical. –Ryan Welch, AO Films

I am able to add note and things that I would normally try to keep in my head. This has reduced my stress level and it keeps me on track. –Jeff Nielsen, Nutrisource Inc.

It’s MUCH easier for us to show clients what they need to do when we collaborate on projects. –Chris Bauer, CrunchTime Information Systems

We are more efficient and less tasks fall through the cracks. Recording every request in a to-do holds everyone to a common system of accountability. Reports allow us to quickly check workloads against different dimensions. We are able to communicate quickly to targeted groups, with additional context just clicks away. –Benjamin Roberts, RSA

We now are more aware of who is responsible for each task (and for my employees they now get to see all the steps of the process outlined in front of them.) –Tyler Clemens, Outlier

The communication amongst team members improved dramatically. Rather than my having to make the effort to connect them with each other, Basecamp allowed them to meet virtually right away. –Joe Brand, Generis

We now have ONE definitive place to deposit files, convey information, and hold discussions. Before it was a hodgepodge of emails (many, many emails), network locations, Sharepoint, and meetings. –Rebecca Doshi, AAAS

We’ve replaced using emails to manage and collaborate on our projects. Basecamp gives everyone on the team a simple view as to what’s going on, and is useful for projects of any size. And, it’s easy for new members to jump in and contribute because they have access to all of the historical work in the threaded conversations. –Gaelan Lloyd, Winshuttle

We’re on the same page! Folks have a much better idea of who’s doing what, when, what needs to be done, etc. Our team is brought together and can communicate much more effectively. This puts us on the same page far better than without Basecamp. –Dan Yost, Tri-8 Inc.

I like the report function that allows us to see what is going on with each person, what due dates are approaching, and how that helps us manage their time. Another change for the better is the strict separation of client from the rest of the team. On Basecamp 2 there was a lot of gray area and it was too easy for a client to get mixed up in the conversations between the team, some of which they should not be involved with or aware of. –Trey Longenecker, Mount Paran Church

Now we don’t need to going back and forth with emails to rely information. It also makes information much readily available if required. –Terry Huang, Umezushi Ltd.

No more epic email threads to juggle. –David Congreave, Paypershop Ltd.

We’ve been a lot more productive as a whole. Before Basecamp, we were using Slack. And we suffered from pretty much every single problem that you mentioned in your “Is group chat making you sweat?” article. With Basecamp, everything is focuses. Group chats still happen, but they’re usually scheduled, and they’re always on topic. And there’s always the option of posting a message instead. –Joel Drapper, Indee

All project related material is stored in a central location. No more searching around network drives and old emails for ’that essential bit of information’ –Nicholas Parkin, Wassen International

There is more on point and varied discussion of shop talk that could not have happened in another format. –Mark Hurych

The true teamwork/collaboration that BaseCamp has been able to consistently provide to my teams after the “new toy syndrome” of the site has worn off. –Larry Bailey, American Financial Resources Inc.

No one has an excuse to say they didn’t see something and everything is in one place. –Charlie Vaughan, Koala

We now work in a more organized manner. When I came on board as team lead, one of the first things I did was implement a task management software for our team. I had used Jira in the past, but since none of my team had had experience in using task management software, I went with Basecamp for it’s simplicity and straight-forwardness. Since then, we miss fewer deadlines and I can easily delegate action items and keep them organized directly after client calls. –Graham Schmidt, Heaven Media

Our efficiency. We can’t imagine work without basecamp currently. –Dalibor Vasiljevic, Rainfall Branding

We are better organized. I’m able to help my team stay focused by checking their “To Do” list. –Kate Ciangiulli, American Direct Logistics

More communication — our team sits in a variety of buildings around the County and having a site that allows us to connect and share information quickly has been vital to the success of our projects. –Jodi Ballard-Beach, Multnomah County

It’s way easier to organize events with many volunteers, to see what is being done and what still needs to be done… –Stephanie Poole

We have not had misunderstandings regarding due dates and deadlines. –Jaime De La Torre Bravo, Grupo Mann

It seems like the turnaround time and overall productivity has improved. –Megan Hicks, SC Tobacco-Free Collaborative

Onboarding new employees and spinning down exiting employees. With project templates, now everyone gets a list of what they need to do; (almost) nothing is forgotten. It’s a much better experience for new employees to have everything organized. –Nick Barth, OnMilwaukee

Our communication stream is much tighter. We keep all our meeting agendas and summaries in Basecamp making it super easy to stay informed. No more searching through our emails to find the latest agenda — we simply head straight to Basecamp. –Julaine Scott, E-Patches and Crests

People are talking more… less stuff is being thrown over the proverbial fence. –Tyrone Murphy, NATIONAL Public Relations

I no longer get emails or texts from employees — they aren’t allowed. My email inbox is no longer my to do list and is mainly client emails that I need to focus. –John Oliver, Complete Home Electronics

Multiple people update a single entry instead of every individual keeping thier own entry which saves time and costs for our clients. –Evan Holt, Robson Carpenter LLP

More transparency. I used to have very little contact with some of my team members. The open ’space’ allows a more horizontal communication. Seems like there is less of a hierarchy. Some of my managers who would never hear from each other now hear each other ’speak’. –Christian Brunet, Subway Brunet

Enthusiasm for being part of a project. –Kim Oeij, City of South Perth Libraries Western Australia

Quicker and easier communication all coming from one place. –Cory Burns, Adventures in Missions

Definitely, cooperation and collaboration. Of course I can speak cliches about everybody being on the same page and how one web articles says that and other says what… bla bla bla. Basecamp has helped maturing weekly roundups and planning and pushed us straight to performance and better work. –André Ascensão, SR/SRA

Less emails! better tracking. More human. –Jean François Porchez, ZeCraft

We’ve consolidated 99 tools into 1 great, simple, organized app called Basecamp. –Chris Meadows, Simple Phone Co.

We are all able to view the progress on each job. Basecamp improves our efficiency working together as a team. –Jenny Skillicorn, JM Engineering, PLLC

There is more of a feeling of connection. Since most of us work remotely, it is nice to have a cyberspace to share. It feels more intimate, constructive and user friendly than email and the other digital tools. We still use those other digital tools but in a more integrative way. –Marcie Foster, Global Village School

We are able to keep track of individual tasks for any given project much more efficiently and effectively. Basecamp also allows us to see what others within our team have going on which is critical to help plan work flow and future project deployment. –Mike Krause, Brunswick Bowling Products

Centralized information lead to higher productivity. –Laura Silva, MYS Project and Brand Management

Productivity and business understanding. Basecamp puts WeGov on track! –Andre Tamura, WeGov

It’s so much easier to manage a workload for people that don’t work in my office! I work on design build projects so the contractor team and my design team need to collaborate and this let’s us be fully transparent on what we need and when on both sides of the aisle. –Sarah Fayer, Keimig Associates

We’re able to stay on the same page more easily instead of trying to figure out some other buggy, inefficient project management software. –William McKinnerney, St. Andrew’s Episcopal School

Got us out of email hell and provide us with a single location to communicate/plan our business. We have a rule, “If it’s not in basecamp, it doesn’t exist” –Casimir Loeber, RealtyNinja

My despair has changed to hope. But seriously, I’ve been project managing for a long time, and even as a hyper-organized person, keeping up with every one and every thing takes its tolls. I’ve always wanted some sort of project management program, so once I was introduced to Basecamp I was addicted. –Gabrielle Gniewek

Nothing is better than watching someone have their epiphany moment when they realize email is not a project management tool. I am now getting even more departments to start using Basecamp religiously rather than every now and again. –Justin McClung, Nex-Tech

Who’s responsible for what and when it’s due has become more transparent to the whole organization. We have also gotten a lot better at keeping deadlines and delivering the needed results on time. –Hector Artiles, Nurotag

Having a single place for all of our internal and external communication, project and task tracking has been an incredible improvement for the business. Previously information was partitioned in silos based on the business unit with different platforms.

Increased and improved communication efficiency and transparency within the projects. No more information lost in mailboxes. –Guy de Pourtalès, eGTSA

Ensured that we can juggle all aspects of various projects at one time. Improved project-based communication among the different sectors within the team. –Alexander Horne, The Economist

We are all on one program vs six or seven. –Felix Martinez, Bella Luci Inc.

It was a good replacement of e-Mail based communication with too many CCs. –Daniel Schwartz, Logima Software GmbH

Organization definitely. Take a look at my email for further emphasis there. We have six subteams and it’s so fantastic to have six bascamps for each subteam. Now we can focus more on design, logistics, and goals for each subteam in a centralized area. –Urjita Das, FRC Team 449; The Blair Robot Project

We’ve always used Basecamp, but, when Basecamp 3 came out we definitely consolidated our toolset. –Chance Griffin, Sturdy

We can find files, notes, and threads faster than ever before. –Todd Wonders, Unique Venues

My large interdisciplinary group is developing the ability to stay in touch in multiple fine-grained cycles of development following extremely complex work. –Philip Beesley, Living Architecture Systems Group University of Waterloo

I feel organised and in control and that feels great. Especially todo-lists and the conversations we have under each todo keeps information in the right place and it is easy to involve someone on an issue. –Charles Beaumont, Lille Hummer

Overall communication has improved as we can easily invite various stakeholders — both inside the business and outside (vendors). –Crystal Houston, Valley of the Sun United Way

It’s easy to track both what we’ve done, what we are doing, and what we are going to do. –Gareth Jones, Oxygen 2.0

More and better communication about potential new user stories and back insights in the real needs behind the statement ’We need this feature’ –Matthieu Hoogerwerf, Negometrix

We have much better overview of our business development. –Gregor Zupanc, King Consulting / InnCerT

I’m no longer getting calls from my employees each day asking for the address/phone number of our customers. –Donald Goddard, All About Paint

Basecamp has been a lifesaver in keeping everyone in the loop on all thats happening without having to shoot thousands of emails back & forth. In addition, all docs are able to remain real-time current by housing them in BC and updating them from there as the project moves forward. This is a game changer for us. –Chris White, Mobilizing Students

People actually using Basecamp. Prior to basecamp 3, it was difficult to get youth to use it. It did not look as nice, the features weren’t as youth-friendly. –Vincent Irving, Truth Initiative

Even though we have a small team, communication can be challenging when everyone is on the go. Basecamp helps us juggle multiple projects at the same time and keep communication flowing. –Rita Morris, Latshaw Drilling

Everyone has fully adopted Basecamp. There’s no hesitation on adoption of the product. –Jasmine Bucher, Lebanon Valley College

More work done with the same resources or less. –Marius Ion, Angel Hot Soft LLC

It’s much easier to keep everyone up to speed on projects without having to send out a flood of emails or have twenty different status update meetings. –James Huff, Ramp Logistics

The communication between departments. The visibility of additions, changes, schedules, of everyone in the group makes everything clear. –Amy Carr, EfficiencyOne

Alignment on many of our projects — everyone can clearly see who is doing what, when it’s due and if they’re completing tasks on time. –Taryn Johnson, The Joinery
