The Company
Pressworks is an Oslo-based multimedia content production agency that specialises in the creation of content and branding materials for corporate clients.
Björn Audunn Blöndal co-founded the company in 2008. He is the driving force behind the company's success, and he's always looking for ways to make his team more productive and efficient.
In early 2022, Pressworks came to Noloco to build an internal tool to manage their projects more efficiently.
Björn Audunn Blöndal co-founded the company in 2008. He is the driving force behind the company's success, and he's always looking for ways to make his team more productive and efficient.
In early 2022, Pressworks came to Noloco to build an internal tool to manage their projects more efficiently.
“Noloco saved me lots of time and money because I could build everything myself.As a non-technical Founder, I was amazed by how much I was able to create on my own and without the help of expensive resources such as developers or interaction designers"
The Challenge
Before finding Noloco, Bjorn faced several challenges in managing the company's projects. The company paid outside developers to custom build a project management system, which slowed them down, incurred costs and failed to deliver all of the functionalities they required.
Once he began his search for an alternative tool within the no-code space, he quickly learned many of these tools were not suitable. He needed a system that was flexible, yet super easy to use so he could achieve a fast time to market.

“Noloco is like a Swiss Army knife - it's versatile, reliable, contains all the tools you might need and is always there when you need it."
The Solution
Luckily, Bjorn found Noloco, a platform that offered both advanced features for building custom apps and user-friendly tools to enable rapid development.
The first solution built with Noloco allowed the team to manage projects more efficiently, with features like task assignments, time tracking. It also included financial reports for sales pipelines and project costs.
The second phase of development involved onboarding freelancers to the platform to speed up the process of allocating resources.
The final phase is underway where Pressworks will soon launch a client portal to enhance the customer experience and encourage self-service.
Each tool built with Noloco makes use of powerful integrations to Slack, Documint, Typeform, and Google Drive to drive efficiencies.

“I reduced the time to create a service expenditure report from over 3 hours to just 5 minutes. I’m excited to free up my time even further when clients can self-serve in the Client facing app"
The Results
Noloco has become an integral part of the business. The system has saved the team a lot of time and has made their workflows more efficient.
Bjorn mentions using “Noloco is like having an extra employee, as it automates many of the time-consuming tasks”.
Instead of spending hours on bottlenecks in their workflows, such as back-and-forth emails and phone calls, the Pressworks team can now focus on delivering high-quality content to their clients.
Overall, Noloco helped Pressworks to improve their productivity, shorten project cycle length, and realise revenue faster. As Bjorn and his team expand their use of Noloco by onboarding clients to their app, we anticipate even further improvements in their workflow efficiency.

“Noloco allows me to make data-driven decisions that are more intelligent for my business. Using Noloco reports, I have a comprehensive view of costs, revenue, sales pipeline, and hours invested by service line - everything I need to work smarter not harder"
