How path8 Productions Converged 6-tools-in-1 With ClickUp

The path8 team was drowning in tool sprawl—Smartsheet, Dropbox Paper, Toggl, Loom, Grain, and Slack all fighting for attention.

Every update meant copying the same information across multiple platforms, turning simple tasks into a flurry of tool-hopping and context switching, where the truth got lost along the way.

When Slack and Smartsheet inevitably fell out of sync, producers had to lean on memory to catch upcoming tasks, introducing risk for a fast-moving production schedule.

path8 knew they needed a better way to get work done. They decided to consolidate siloed tools into one unified command center for work.

Pat chose ClickUp and signed up for the Small Business Suite—a bundled plan for 1 to 25-person teams that delivers enterprise-level performance and features.

One platform for everything

By unifying planning, tracking, communication, and time in one place, path8 now runs on AI-supported workflows that reduce manual work, improve visibility, and accelerate decisions.

Statuses are entered once and automatically sync across projects, views, and reports—invaluable for a small but highly performant company.

AI-driven insights and visibility

ClickUp Brain connects their entire business context, and provides access to multiple premium LLMs, Agents, and Automations that drive productivity.

Pat’s team now generates the weekly meeting agenda in half the time it took before with ClickUp Brain.

The AI automatically surfaces tasks due that week and the next, along with their owners, reducing manual work and the risk of missed deadlines.

Messaging and work come together

Editors, producers, and freelancers stay aligned on ClickUp Chat as conversations now live next to tasks and timelines.
