Task Creation

Scheduled one-off tasks: Quickly set up tailored ad hoc tasks, like preparing a seasonal display, with scheduling options that ensure tasks are visible only when they’re relevant. Axonify Operations automates task delivery based on the assignee’s time zone, so there’s no guesswork or manual follow-up.

Recurring tasks: From daily opening routines to periodic machine maintenance, recurring tasks make it easy to stay on top of essential responsibilities. Create them once, set the frequency and let Axonify handle dynamic updates to your team rosters as roles change.

Duplicate tasks: Speed up task creation by duplicating similar tasks with just a click. This feature eliminates repetitive setup work, freeing you to focus on high-priority operations.

Clear task requirements

Provide your frontline with the clarity and resources they need to complete tasks accurately and efficiently.

Detailed task descriptions: Add images and links to websites, PDFs and Axonify Discover articles directly within a task. These resources provide your team with the context they need to get it right the first time.

Task steps: Break large tasks into manageable steps with checklists. This feature helps your team stay focused and ensures you have better visibility into task progress, so nothing falls through the cracks.
