Keep every handoff moving.

Steps, not a task list

Every handoff has a clear next owner

A task list tells you what is outstanding. It rarely tells you the thing you actually need: where the project stands right now, and whose turn it is.

In Jieli, every project follows an ordered sequence of steps. One step finishes. The next owner picks it up. The list shows the current step, its owner, and how long it has been sitting there — so a project that stopped moving shows itself instead of waiting for someone to notice.

Built to cross companies

Connect workspaces. Don't merge teams.

Most tools ask your partner to become a guest in your workspace. You end up maintaining accounts for another company's staff, and their turnover becomes your admin.

Jieli connects two workspaces that stay independent. Your partner manages their own members and decides who takes part. A project can connect several partners at once, each seeing only the parts shared with them — and when the work ends, the boundary between the companies remains intact.

Permissions follow the work

Each step lets in only the right people

For every step, you decide who can view it, join the conversation, or edit it — for your own member roles and for each partner role separately.

So one project can include a step visible to just one person, a step open to your whole team, a step shared with one partner, and a step where two partners work together — without any of them seeing the rest.

Shared and internal, side by side

Share progress, not everything

Working on the same project does not mean everything is open to everyone. Keep a whole step internal, or leave a single message visible only to your own workspace — both sit inside the same project, next to the work they refer to.

Your team no longer has to split one project across an internal chat for colleagues and an email thread for the partner.

Pins

What was agreed, not just what was said

The useful part of a long thread is usually one message: the final price, the date, the approved version, the tracking number. Left in the thread, that decision has to be found again every time somebody needs it.

Pin it in Jieli and it becomes a field on the project. Give the pin a label and a type: a number, date, file or fixed option. It becomes a column you can sort and filter across every project you run.

Templates

Name a role now, name the person later

A template can carry two kinds of participant. Some are people: the colleague who is on every project of this kind, added automatically each time. The rest are roles — a placeholder for whoever will do that job on this particular project.

Assign someone to a role when you create the project, and they automatically receive the step permissions defined for that role. Nobody sets access by hand, and nobody is quietly given more of the project than the job calls for.
