Case Study: Forcade Associates achieves effortless management of 80+ projects with Hive

How Design And Consulting Firm Forcade Associates Transitioned From Old Tools To Hive

Forcade Associates, a graphic and environmental signage design firm in Evanston, Illinois, was juggling 80+ active projects and struggling to keep tasks, files, and team communication organized. After abandoning multiple project management tools, Forcade turned to Hive for an all-in-one project management platform offering direct messaging, group chats, task management and file sharing.

Hive consolidated Forcade’s communication and file access—replacing internal emails and texts, enabling file sharing from phones and their server, and giving managers a dashboard to view progress across projects—allowing the firm to execute 80+ projects with ease. Hive also implemented Forcade’s requested features (new labeling for action cards, direct-dial from mobile, speed-access menus, power-user views, shared-drive linking, large image previews), and the team reports dramatically improved workflow and productivity since moving to Hive.
