Teamwork.com, the Cork software firm that reinvested its profits into acquiring its domain name for US$675,000 (€500,000), has rolled out extensions for Google Chrome and Zendesk

Some 20,000 companies in 147 countries worldwide use TeamworkPM’s business software, which streamlines day-to-day operations. Around 90pc of the customer base includes companies like eBay, Microsoft, Oxfam, Forbes, PayPal, Electronic Arts and NBC.

The company says sales are set to exceed US$12m by the end of 2015.

Teamwork.com already has an impressive list of third party integrations, which already included Dropbox, Harvest, and Xero to name but a few.

It says Google Chrome has somewhere between 35pc and 46pc of desktop browser users worldwide, and the company points out that 64pc of all users visiting Teamwork.com were from Chrome.

The extension has a number of key features allowing users to add tasks, post messages, log their time and save links directly to ‘Active’ projects directly from any website in Chrome, easily switching between different Teamwork accounts they may be using.

The Teamwork button within Gmail is especially useful for including emails in projects, and users need not even be logged in to TeamworkPM, simply linking a users’ API token means that all are immediately posted to Projects.

It has also announced the release of the TeamworkPM app for Zendesk. Following many requests for this integration, it has now been released live to the Zendesk App Marketplace. Now, when working within Zendesk, users have the option to attach tasks to existing Zendesk tickets. Simply pick an existing task or create a new one, and if you change your mind, you can simply detach the task and select another.

They came, they dot.com’d, they conquered

Last month the company reinvested its profits into acquiring the Teamwork.com domain name for US$675,000 (€500,000).

“Under our new ‘dot com’ domain, Teamwork will continue to develop the world’s leading suite of SaaS business products that will integrate seamlessly with Teamwork’s existing project management software; but can also act as stand-alone programmes,” explained Teamwork.com chief executive Peter Coppinger.

“The suite, which will differentiate Teamwork.com from its competitors, and will include our new approach to customer support, book keeping and CRM (customer relationship management) applications.”
