Boards when you need them. A business operating system when you need more.

BOSS* is a business operating system for growing teams.

BOSS* stands for Business Operating System as a Service. It gives you kanban like Trello, plus the modules a growing team actually needs: HR, CRM, sales pipeline, time tracking, invoice and expense management, recruitment, chat, budgets, and AI features.

Kanban boards Sales + CRM HR + recruitment Time + budgets One system, not many tools

Trello solves boards.
BOSS* runs the business.

Once the team grows, you start adding tools around Trello. CRM here. HR there. Time tracking somewhere else. That is the problem BOSS* solves.

Too many tools

Trello handles boards. Sales, HR, finance, and ops usually live somewhere else.

Not enough context

Boards show tasks. They do not show the whole picture.

You outgrow it

As the business grows, boards alone stop being enough.

5 big reasons to switch from
Trello to Aqtos BOSS* today.

1

Cut the tool stack

Replace scattered tools with one system that covers more of the business.

2

Get more than boards

Keep kanban, but add CRM, sales pipeline, HR, chat, budgets, and time tracking.

3

See the full picture

Know what is moving, what is blocked, and where the business needs attention.

4

Run work and money together

Track hours, budgets, expenses, and invoices without leaving the system.

5

Grow without rebuilding

BOSS* can grow from project management into a full business operating system.

Bring your Trello boards and tasks
into Aqtos BOSS* without the mess.

You should not have to rebuild your work from scratch just to move to a better system. BOSS* is built to make switching easier.

1
Export your Trello data. Pull your boards, lists, and tasks from Trello.
2
Map it into BOSS*. Bring over the structure your team already knows.
3
Keep moving. Add CRM, HR, budgets, time tracking, and the rest when you are ready.

No clean-slate reset required

Start with the boards and tasks you already have. Then expand into the rest of BOSS* as your team gets comfortable.

Keep the board.
Add the missing structure.

Aqtos keeps the visual workflow simple, but gives each task more depth and clearer ownership.

Tasks with real working context

Tasks hold the detail teams need to actually finish the work.

Discussion attached to the work

Comments stay with the task, not scattered across tools.

More than a board

The system can grow with the team instead of forcing another tool into the stack.

Run standups from live work.
Not from memory.

Trello organizes tasks. Aqtos helps run the team around them.

A team leader view for daily coordination

See what each person owns, what is blocked, and what needs help.

Faster decisions

Use the meeting to decide, not to repeat updates.

  • Managers get a clearer view of what is happening.
  • The team can grow without piling on more tools.
  • Sales, CRM, HR, budgets, tracking, and invoices stay under one roof.
