“We use Canopy to create and manage internal tasks.  Specific follow-ups, customer requests, internal research tasks, and other to-do items can be quickly established, assigned, and tracked to completion with straight-forward steps. Staff can readily pull up their task lists, update them based on progress made, and request assistance or review.”

Rodney Schmisseur

“We have loved the task side of things for our firm. It helps us stay organized and we always know where things are at. Our task management is better than it ever has been before. The file structure is very user friendly and has little features that make our processes simple.”
