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

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

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.

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

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.

My inbox can be a disaster at times.

There’s more communication.

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.

Basecamp has allowed me to create a sense of community among my interns and I. Building a startup takes some serious effect, and hours of work after my already existing nine to five.

Easier to follow who is doing what and to go back and get people back on track. –Mercedes Perez, Guttmacher Institute
Communication among our team has improved. We are scattered at four different colleges in the State of Florida and scheduling calls and meetings is difficult.

Discussions over complex issues are more constructive and less fragmented, and result in more resolutions. –Anthony Drury, LTC

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.

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

Prioritization and distribution of our workload. Using the different "reports’ the team can see how our workload stacks across the week.

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.

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

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 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

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

We’ve been a lot more productive as a whole. Before Basecamp, we were using Slack.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
