What is ProWorkflow?
ProWorkflow was created in 2002, back then our focus was to develop a solution that supported our internal workflow and communication needs. Rapid early sales indicated that other companies found the tool helpful in their day to day activities. The team then worked with the existing customer base to improve the software to meet the needs of the general market space. Development has continued and the ProWorkflow now has a solid international customer base. In 2003, ProActive Software Limited acquired ProWorkflow. Initially ProWorkflow solution sold as download and is still available as a download under some circumstances, but as the web has developed our preferred method of supply is now software as a service (SaaS). SaaS enables all information technology issues to be normalised through the user's browser. Our choice of service providers and management commitment to our service offer a solid and robust platform for the ProWorkflow solution. ProWorkflow is now a benchmark in the fully featured project management, workflow and time management arena supplied as a SaaS solution. To suit the needs of different customers the solution is now available in three plans. In late 2008, a desktop widget was released. The ProWorkflow solution has enabled many different businesses from many different industries to understand and reduce waste and create efficiencies in their day to day operations.

Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
ProWorkflow receives nearly universal praise, with 45 of 50 recent reviews giving it five stars and the remaining five giving four stars. Users consistently highlight intuitive design, reliable reporting dashboards, and responsive customer support as the platform's standout strengths. The interface is repeatedly described as easy to learn, logical to navigate, and pleasant to use dailyβqualities rarely celebrated in project management software. Reporting features get particular attention for pulling project status, workload distribution, and deadline risk into single, filterable views without manual spreadsheet work.
Remote access and mobile usability work well enough for distributed teams across time zones, and time tracking integration simplifies billing workflows. Users report successful large-scale deployments; permissions configuration, team onboarding, and integrations with accounting software like Xero are handled smoothly. Support responses are praised as specific, timely, and genuinely helpful rather than formulaic.
A handful of reviewers flag minor friction points: custom report builders and some template configurations require a learning curve; recurring task logic and time rounding behavior have quirks that catch users off guard; the API documentation leaves some edge cases unclear; and timeline planning tools could be stronger. One long-time user mentioned that nested sub-task templates require manual re-linking each time. These complaints are scattered and don't dent overall satisfaction, and support generally resolves issues when contacted.
For teams managing multiple projects across distributed staff, ProWorkflow delivers on visibility, usability, and accountability without feeling like overhead.

I've been using PWF for over 9 years now. I've tried ALL of the other project management systems and this by far is the best. It's the simplest, easiest to understand yet incredibly robust system on the market. Please stop reading this and try it for yourself! Did I mention they truly have THE BEST customer service as well!

We have spend months searching & testing Project Management Software for our Cloud Consulting Activities. ProWorkFlow was the first to meet with all of our requirements: very userfriendly (the UI is excellent!) yet extremely powerfull and easy to customize. In addition we enjoyed the excellent customer service. Highly recommended.

Benson DesignβOur building design business has been needing a software solutionβ¦β
Our building design business has been needing a software solution to manage the many projects we work on at any one time. After using several disappointing so called project management solutions over the past 10 years we were keen to get it right this time. We tested 9 software solutions, and decided on ProWorkflow.
We were fortunate to have been able to start using the beta V.8 and have found the new U.I. very easy to use. The staff have mentioned the many further improvements they are busy working on, all sound very exciting and will answer our remaining list of must haves...
One feature I am very keen to see improved further is the timeline planning tools, which I have been told is noted for a possible upgrade. This is something we would use daily to keep everything on schedule so would be something we would be happy to pay extra for so the developers can really make it sing, perhaps like the invoice and quoting add-ons, so users can have an option.
Easy user interface, simple feature set, value for money, awesome technical support staff and a solid future development plan.

With over 100 active projects across offices in three cities, we needed a system which offered a solid foundation but with room to allow for our planned growth. After trialling several well-known solutions we decided on ProWorkflow and have never looked back. The latest version of their software (aptly called %u201CV8%u201D) has taken an already great product and made it faster, easier to use and with a pinch of new features to help make project, capacity planning and communication even easier. However we did not just buy a software package %u2013 we gained access to real people who actually care and actually listen. They make support fun %u2013 and when have you ever said that about support? Do I recommend ProWorkflow? You bet.
