Who is Maru for?

  • Not for big companies. For people who run their work with a few others or on their own.
  • Agency, studio, small shop or freelance: the trouble is the same. Work scatters across messages, notes and people’s heads.
  • Below, see how Maru fits each way of working.

Which one fits you?

When you first open Maru Hub, you pick the kind of work you do. The card name, starter columns and modules follow; you can change it later in Settings.

Agency edition

Agencies and creative teams.

Small teams with a designer, a copywriter and a project lead, working for several brands at once.

Sound familiar?

  1. Revisions live in email, chat and meeting notes, and nobody is sure which version is the latest.
  2. You find out who works on which brand, and how much is on their plate, by asking around.
  3. Files go back and forth for approval, and the client’s “OK” ends up at the bottom of a thread.

Maru Proje Task Board: task cards in the New, In progress, Internal review and Client review columns; the Opening poster is in progress with Evan, due today at 18:00.

Questions

Does my client need an account?

No. When you send a task to your client, a link is created. Your client opens it, then approves or requests changes.

Can I change the columns?

Yes. Add, rename or delete columns. The starter columns are only a starting point.

Studio edition

Studios and artists.

Ceramic and art studios that make pieces, take orders and run classes, and independent makers.

Sound familiar?

  1. You can’t tell which piece is drying and which is waiting for the kiln without checking the shelf.
  2. You notice the clay or glaze is gone only when it runs out, and an order stalls.
  3. Class sign-ups, attendance and session dates are in a notebook, a phone and a dozen messages.

Questions

Why does it say “students” instead of “clients”?

The Studio edition calls people students, because workshop enrollment and attendance are about them. You can link pieces to a student too.

Does the kiln plan show up in Plan?

Yes. A firing you schedule also appears on that day in Maru Plan.

Business edition

Small businesses.

A shop, a small workshop, a consultancy or a software team: a few people sharing the same jobs every day.

Sound familiar?

  1. Tasks are handed out by word of mouth, and who took what only becomes clear by evening.
  2. The same question comes up three times a day: did the parcel go out, was the quote sent?
  3. When someone is off, nobody knows where their work stands.

Can everyone edit every task?

Personal edition

People working on their own.

Freelance designers, consultants, writers and photographers: anyone who runs their work alone.

Sound familiar?

  1. Deadlines live in your head; when one slips, the rest slip with it.
  2. To see what’s waiting with which client, you dig back through your email.
  3. Your day plan is in one place and your work in another, and the two never meet.
