Uku team collaboration — task assignments and team workload overview

When a colleague goes on vacation, their replacement shouldn't need a week of handover. With tasks, instructions, and history in one place, cover starts in minutes.

What team collaboration delivers

Disruptions during substitutions

Reassign all of one person's tasks in seconds. The replacement sees instructions, notes, and history — clients notice nothing.

The vacation test

Someone's out. Nothing stops.

  1. Reassign in bulk

    Move all of one person's tasks and clients to a colleague in seconds — temporarily for a vacation, or permanently.

  2. Full context, instantly

    The replacement sees instructions, attachments, comments, notes, and the client's communication history — no inbox digging.

  3. The client never notices

    Deadlines hold, emails go out on schedule, and the work continues exactly where it left off.

FAQ

Team collaboration questions.

How does Uku make substitutions painless?

All client information, instructions, and task history live in one place. Reassign one person's tasks in bulk — temporarily or permanently — and the replacement continues without disruption.

Can task reassignments be temporary?

Yes. Set an end date for vacation or sick-leave cover and the tasks return to their original owner automatically.

How does communication work inside Uku?

Comments, mentions, and notifications live on the task itself. Questions are answered with the context already open — far fewer status meetings and chat threads.

Can team leads see the whole team's workload?

Yes. A real-time overview shows every member's tasks and load. Leads spot overload early and rebalance with drag-and-drop.

How do user rights work?

Each member sees only the clients and information they need. Supervisors get the full team view — visibility without noise.

Is team collaboration included in all plans?

Collaboration features — assignments, comments, workload views — are core Uku functionality available in all plans.
