Introducing Helmby: four products, one account
Helmby Chat, Helmby People, Helmby Projects and Helmby Finance share a sign-in and a bill. Here is what each does, and the handful of places where they hand work to each other.
Running a company means messaging, people records, project tracking and invoicing. Each usually comes with its own login, its own list of users and its own monthly bill. Helmby is four products built to be bought one at a time or together, with one Hub behind them for sign-in, people and billing.
The four
- Helmby Chat, Connect & Collaborate: Zones for teams and topics, Connects for one-to-one and small groups, Branches for side discussions, Flash Spaces for calls, and Actions that turn a message into a tracked task.
- Helmby People, People & Culture: employee records, time tracking with weekly timesheets, leave, requests and approvals, hiring, onboarding and offboarding, reviews, documents and e-signatures.
- Helmby Projects, Plan & Deliver: projects shaped to how you work, with boards, sprints, roadmaps, capacity, test management and reports.
- Helmby Finance, Financial Operations: estimates, invoices, payments, expenses, bills and the reports on them.
Where they meet
We do not claim that everything talks to everything. There are six links today. One sign-in and one bill cover every product you hold. A new Helmby Projects project can get a Helmby Chat zone of the same name, with its members. New people land in your default zones when they accept their invitation. The Helmby People time tracker offers the person’s own Helmby Projects projects and tasks. An expense claim approved in Helmby People arrives in Helmby Finance as an expense. And tracked, billable hours can be turned into Helmby Finance invoice lines at the rate you type, once.
What is not in this release
Helmby Finance does not connect to banks, reconcile statements, run payroll or keep a general ledger yet. The products ship in English. There is no language model anywhere in the product; the Hub’s Insights are plain rules over your own data. We would rather you know that now than find out in week two.
Price
A single product is $2.49 per user per month billed yearly ($3.49 monthly). All four are $7.99 billed yearly ($9.99 monthly). Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
