How long does it take to set up Northwind?

Most teams are up and running in under an hour. Create a workspace, invite your team and pick a template for your first project; the guided checklist walks you through the rest. Larger organisations can book a free onboarding call with a specialist.

Can I import projects from the tool I use today?

Yes. Upload a CSV or spreadsheet export and the import wizard maps your columns to Northwind fields, including assignees, due dates, labels and comments. A preview shows exactly what will be created before anything is saved, so you can adjust the mapping and try again.

Is there a mobile app?

Northwind has native apps for iOS and Android with full access to projects, tasks and comments. Notifications are instant, and you can capture tasks offline; they sync automatically as soon as you reconnect. The web app is also fully responsive.

How do automations work, and are there usage limits?

Automations follow a simple trigger, condition and action pattern, such as assigning a reviewer when a task moves to Review. Starter includes 100 runs per month, Pro includes 5,000 and Business is unlimited. Failed runs are logged so you can see exactly what happened.

Can clients and contractors collaborate without a paid seat?

Yes. Invite them as guests and they can view, comment on and approve work in the projects you choose, without seeing the rest of your workspace. Guests are free on every plan, and you can remove their access with one click.
