Why TopLeft for ConnectWise?

  • Critical tickets slip through cracks across multiple boards
  • Excessive clicks for status updates waste time
  • Delayed time entries affect billing and profitability
  • Poor SLA visibility risks client satisfaction
  • One-size-fits-all views ignore role-specific needs
  • Deadlines and urgent items difficult to identify

TopLeft works with your existing ConnectWise setup, not against it. You keep all its functionality while gaining the clarity and control your team needs to deliver faster.

Know your team has room before you commit to a project

Capacity planning looks ahead. Before you take on a project or promise a start date, see whether your team has the hours for it. TopLeft reads the project work already scheduled in ConnectWise and shows it against each engineer's available hours:

See capacity week by week: spot who is overcommitted in any coming week, and who has room.

Plan start dates you can keep: move a project's dates on the timeline and watch the load change before you give the client a date.

Balance the work before it lands: shift tasks to someone with room before the week arrives.

For how work is going right now, use Project Health AI and the Kanban boards.

Organize and control work by grouping projects, resources, and priorities visually

ConnectWise provides a strong foundation for MSPs, and TopLeft adds clear, visual Swimlanes (rows that group cards, for example by client, technician or project) that make daily work easier to organize and control. You will gain:

Smart Ticket Organization: Your team can instantly see which tickets matter most by viewing ConnectWise work grouped by project, priority, or technician.

Visual Dispatch: Quickly balance workloads and assign tickets in seconds, keeping the right techs on the right tasks without confusion or delays.

Instant Team Visibility: See work progress, capacity, and bottlenecks at a glance.

Result: Help your team stay focused, avoid burnout, and finish work on time.

Faster dispatching and clearer work ownership through ConnectWise

ConnectWise provides a strong foundation for MSPs, and TopLeft adds real-time dispatch visibility so you can assign work faster and keep every technician accountable.

You’ll gain:

  • Instant Team Visibility: See technician capacity and ticket ownership at a glance so dispatch decisions are fast and balanced.
  • Full Ticket Visibility: See every ticket in one view so none of your technicians' responsibilities slip through the cracks.

Result: Faster dispatching, balanced workloads, and no missed tickets.

Why TopLeft stands apart from other visualization tools

Unlike ConnectWise, most visualization tools like Trello, Microsoft Planner, Jira, Monday.com, Smartsheet, Moovila, Asana, NilearOS and Microsoft Project are built for general project/ticket tracking, not for MSP operations.

TopLeft connects with ConnectWise to give users clear visual boards and deeper PSA project visibility, combining service, project, and client management in one place.

This is used for managing real PSA client work, including ticket queues, recurring tasks, SLAs, and dispatch assignments.
