Pyrus (software)

Pyrus was founded by programmer and entrepreneur Max Nalsky. Pyrus has been developed since 2010 and has run in beta for four years. In 2014 Pyrus announced a public launch, which the company claims attracted more than 120,000 users, who set up 8,500 workflows and completed 6,000,000 tasks within a year. Pyrus is one of the first business tools that delivered an app for Android Wear in July 2014. On December 17, 2019, Pyrus registered its fifty-millionth task. As of February 2020, the system has over 400,000 registered users. == Software ==

The main idea behind Pyrus is to more effectively organize workflow, automate routine tasks and processes, and bring the use of email to a minimum. One distinctive characteristic of Pyrus is its flexibility in providing users with varied possibilities for setting up their business processes, without needing to program, or call IT. Launching a new process in the system takes only a few minutes: you set up the form fields required for the process, establish the steps of the process, and add assignees and approvers. Pyrus also offers templates for standard business processes, from getting contracts and invoices approved, to applying for time off or coordinating business travel. Functionality What Pyrus offers: • management of tasks and projects: delegating, routing, time monitoring, recurring tasks, subtasking to break up large tasks into smaller ones, lists, and kanban boards; • communication with the team, and with external vendors and clients; structuring through tasks: discuss details, exchange files, and add related tasks; • client request processing (Service Desk / Help Desk) through various communication channels: phone, email, chat / forms on the site or in the app, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Viber; • electronic document processing: approval of requests, payments, contracts and other documents; • a client database (CRM); • easy-to-read analysis of the work of your co-workers and of business processes (request processing time, level of service, etc.) More features: • announcements for all employees of an organization; • a library for creating a database of the company’s knowledge; • catalogs; • company organizational structure and all employee contact info; • add guest users to the system to work with outside vendors, clients, and freelancers; • create tasks from external emails; • file attachment and integration of leading storage platforms (Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.); • browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox) and email (Gmail, Outlook Online) extensions; • a calendar; • monitoring of time worked; • searching by various attributes: discussion participant, key word, file name, goods, account number, and so on; • information exporting.

• Information protection: Pyrus works with the secure protocol HTTPS, which is what online banking apps use for sending bank statements and transfer orders. For authentication, the system uses secure single-use codes; this protects the user from their password falling into the wrong hands. == Worldwide distribution ==

Pyrus users work in 40 different countries throughout the world. Companies use Pyrus to organize remote office monitoring, and automate business processes in fields such as sales, marketing, acquisitions, finance, HR, IT, and client services. == References ==
