The brands Absoft works with every day
Core Board is built by the same team trusted by ambitious startups and established enterprises across India and beyond.
One word. Four pillars. Total clarity.
All your projects, people, and KPIs — pulled into one unified dashboard. No more switching between tools.
Real-time visibility into weekly allocation, utilization, and team workload — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Where operations meet execution — the bridge that connects planning to delivery.
Know who's available, who's overloaded, and who's on bench — at a glance, every single day.
Auto-alerts for missed allocations, daily digests, and actionable KPIs — turning insights into action instantly.
Every Monday morning, your PMs ask the same three questions.
PMs scrolling Zoho Projects + spreadsheets + chat — every Monday.
No single view shows attendance + leave + bench together.
Missed daily allocations go unnoticed until end-of-month.
Core Board answers all three — in one screen.
Five tabs. Zero blind spots.
Designed for the questions your PMO asks every single day.
Projects Portfolio
Every active project with health, milestones, hours logged, last activity. Clickable KPIs to spot risks instantly — Overdue, At Risk, No Budget, Stale Support-Paid.
My Team
Today's attendance, leave, bench status — grouped by department. One click to anyone's Zoho People profile.
Daily Allocation
Assign tasks in 30 seconds. Copy yesterday's log. Mark on bench (with a mandatory reason). See over-loaded, under-utilised, yet-to-check-in at a glance.
Weekly Allocation
Plan the whole week. Compare allocated vs actual hours. Forecast next week. Copy from prior weeks in one click.
Smart Alerts
Auto-generated when daily/weekly allocations are missed. Filter by category (Critical · Warning · Information) and sub-category. PMs see their team's; admins see everyone's.
System Settings
Admin control panel. Monitor cache health, refresh manually, clear browser cache. Stays out of the way until you need it.
All your projects.
Every KPI.
One screen.
No more "where do we stand?" syncs. Every project across every PM, with health, milestone progress, hours logged, and last-activity recency — all clickable to filter.

What changes the week you go live.
Live in 3 working days.
Install & Configure
We connect Core Board to your Zoho Creator, Zoho Projects, and Zoho People — set up caches, schedulers, and the daily leadership digest tailored to your org. No migrations, no extra licences.
Train & Roll out
Hands-on training for every role — PMs, team leads, and admins. Each user sees exactly what they need: their team, their KPIs, their alerts. Your entire team is up and running from day one.
2-Week Handholding
We stay with you for two full weeks after go-live — answering questions, fine-tuning configurations, and making sure Core Board fits your workflow perfectly. You're never left figuring it out alone.
Questions teams ask before they switch.
Do we need new licences for any Zoho product?
No. Core Board runs on top of Zoho Creator, Projects, and People — the licences you already have. No new SKU, no per-seat add-on.
How is this different from native Zoho Projects reports?
Zoho Projects gives you per-project views. Core Board gives you portfolio + people + allocation in one screen, with auto-alerts for missed actions. It's the cross-app view Zoho doesn't ship out of the box.
How long does it take to set up?
Most teams are live within 3 working days — install, configure, train, and roll out. Plus you get 2 full weeks of handholding support after go-live.
Will it slow down our existing Zoho apps?
Not at all. Core Board uses smart caching layers so the dashboard loads sub-second without putting extra load on your Zoho APIs. Your existing apps run exactly as before.
Can we customise it?
Absolutely. We provide source code with every engagement and offer customisation as per your business requirements. Core Board is built on Zoho Creator, so it's fully extensible — your team can modify it even after handover.
What about data privacy?
All data stays within your own Zoho org. Absoft never receives or stores your business data. The widget runs inside your Creator iframe, querying your APIs with your tokens.
Ready to give your PMO one screen?
15-minute demo on your own data. No slides. We screen-share Core Board live with employee names and project data anonymised from the demo org.
