People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Powerful enough for pros.
"We can finally delegate work with confidence and focus on growing the business.
"Tallyfy has been transformative for us. It's reduced manual errors, sped up processes like onboarding, and helped us document workflows that are critical as we grow. The ability to track tasks and aggregate them in one place saves us so much time and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.
"Tallyfy is intuitive, fun and visually appealing. We can quickly gather every detail we need from our client in order to finish it on time. All the documents, specific details and comments are in one place.
"It has become a regular thing that people say 'put that in Tallyfy'. They know it by name. It has become the executive approval tool for our company. We have bi-weekly Tallyfy calls where we review what needs approval and what is pending - it keeps everyone aligned.
"A paper-based approval for critical purchases could take a couple of days before if someone was waiting for a director to be available for a signature. Now approvals are often completed in minutes.
"It used to take us two days to run monthly client campaigns, now, with the help of Tallyfy, we complete them in just a few hours!
"Tallyfy is a very reliable way to delegate and track tasks with confidence. It has taken the guesswork out of the equation and has helped our team focus on delivering a service within deadlines. Thank you for making my life much easier!
"Tallyfy has revolutionized how we manage our marketing projects at West Community Credit Union. It allows us to quickly launch tailored campaigns and track every moving part, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. The ease of creating flexible, repeatable processes has saved us significant time and improved team collaboration.
"Tallyfy transformed how we manage client onboarding and policy renewals. It eliminated inefficiencies, reduced meeting times from hours to minutes, and helped us avoid costly penalties by automating key processes. We now have full visibility over tasks, and I no longer need to chase down updates - it's all right there.
"Our clients and team sail through the Tallyfy process - there is no need for clients to log in, there is one link for everything they need to do, everything saves in real-time - it all works incredibly well! I can't imagine scaling our agency without Tallyfy.
"With Tallyfy, we have seen clarity in our processes as well as any bottlenecks. Tallyfy would be a good fit for any company that has a design, approval and implementation process that needs to have a quick turn around and that is growing fast.
"When asked for an update on a pending request, I would have had to look through several email threads, make phone calls, and often have to wait for a reply to give an accurate update. I can now go into Tallyfy and view all of the information in one place. In two seconds, I am able to update the requestor on the status of their order.
"Tallyfy has helped our team streamline the efficiency of our processes. We now have smooth processes from beginning to end - without any steps being forgotten or skipped.
"If you want to be efficient and scale your business then Tallyfy is the way go. There is no question about it.
"Routing multiple documents is far quicker and there's immediate accountability and oversight. After switching to Tallyfy, routing documents and layouts went from taking over a week to taking just 2-3 days.

" I struggled initially to get used to the tool. Sometimes we encounter lags when putting large data... It is hard for a new person to learn the logic of the app and takes time to explain how the whole process works.[1] "
" Some of the features are not really user friendly and without having a contact point in the company some of the steps are hard to guess. Sometimes it cannot work with a lot of data as it causes delays with request processing...[2] "
" Mobile App functionality is not as good as desktop version.[3] "
" Just the dashboard does not look too nice.[4] "
" Some of the logic functions will be quite difficult to understand in the initial phase. Also it is hard for a new person to learn the logic of the app and takes time to explain how the whole process works...[5] "
" The reporting features are limited and lack customization. Getting useful insights from workflow data is harder than it should be.[6] "
" Integration options are very basic. Connecting cFlow to other business tools requires workarounds and manual data transfer.[7] "
" Some users have found it challenging to navigate through Cflow, making it difficult for them to undo actions.[8] "
" The software experiences slowdowns during data transfers, especially when dealing with large volumes of data.[9] "
" Limited report customizations. The analytics works great at the basic level but for detailed analysis, I have to export the data to Excel.[10] "

You build each process once as a template, then launch it whenever the work comes up. Every launch is tracked as its own process, so you can see where each one stands.
Does Tallyfy price differently by country?
Does Cflow include single sign-on?
How does Tallyfy handle process improvement?
Through feedback on the work itself. Whoever is doing a task can report a problem in a comment. That notifies everyone on the task and holds it open until the problem is resolved. The template owner then changes the template to fix it.
