ConnectWise Project Management with TopLeft

Our Story

TopLeft was created by Kerkhoff Technologies, an MSP based on Chilliwack, B.C, Canada

kti-team

We have been in the IT business since 2007, and we've learned a thing or two about what works and what doesn't. ConnectWise has been our PSA and project management tool going as far back as 2010, but we found ourselves struggling to keep up with the volume of work and stay on top of everything.

Our engineers were overwhelmed, our customers were feeling neglected, and our projects seemed to be stuck in a never-ending cycle of starting and stopping without ever making real progress. We knew we had to find a better way to manage our work if we wanted to continue to succeed as an MSP and maintain our reputation for delivering high-quality services.

That’s when we discovered Kanban, a powerful practice used in manufacturing and software development to improve workflow and increase efficiency.

We created TopLeft, a PSA integration tool that combines the best of both worlds: the functionality of a PSA software with the visual representation and streamlined workflows of Kanban.

We use TopLeft ourselves to manage our own projects and tickets, and we can't imagine working without it. Our team is more productive, our projects are moving forward, and our customers are happier than ever. We created TopLeft to help other MSPs achieve the same level of success and efficiency that we've been able to achieve with this powerful tool.

“As an MSP, we understand feeling pressure from clients, the difficulty of balancing service, project, and internal tasks, and the challenge of understand work when using PSA software such as Datto AutoTask and ConnectWise. The name TopLeft reminds us of the place where new work is found in a Kanban board- the top left corner of pipeline of work when visualized on a board.”

- Wim Kerkhoff, Founder of TopLeft

Be better today than yesterday:

Our product helps MSPs to optimize their flow, whether it involves refining processes, adopting a growth-oriented mindset, or implementing improved visualizations. Through our educational marketing strategies, we continuously enhance the speed at which we guide problem-aware MSPs from a state of complete unfamiliarity to a comprehensive understanding of how Lean and Kanban principles can drive positive transformations in their business. Likewise, our sales process undergoes constant refinement, ensuring a seamless flow from the initial contact to successful onboarding, where MSPs can truly perceive the significant value offered by TopLeft.

Lean into challenges:

We adopt a forward-thinking mindset and welcome the challenges that come our way as they play a pivotal role in propelling us forward and building wisdom and strength. Everyday is a learning opportunity, so we take everything as a lesson and absorb it like a sponge. From the experiences shared by the people we meet to the wealth of knowledge made available by books and digital resources, we actively seek out strategies designed to help us overcome hurdles and use that as a leverage to grow.

Build trust:

Our methodology revolves around asking intelligent and compassionate questions which is how we are able to accurately identify our client's workflow challenges. We actively listen, refraining from hasty assumptions to avoid proposing solutions that do not fit their needs. Upholding transparency and dependability allows us to eliminate the unexpected and deliver on our promises diligently. Through meaningful conversations and actionable and productive reports, we effectively demonstrate the value our product, process, and people provide.

Alex Anderson,

With TopLeft, it takes much less time for me to communicate, assign, and correct statuses.

I had a project with 55–60 tickets that needed assignments and status correction. In
ConnectWise, it takes me around 45 minutes to complete the job; while in TopLeft, it only took me 13 minutes.

I appreciate the ease of being able to input time into tasks. The UI is far easier to navigate than in Autotask.

 I also have a more visually friendly view of all projects and tasks with their associated status. It is very helpful to see what’s going on project-wise at a glance.
