If you are a user of BaseCamp (the web-based project management application by 37Signals), you can now use it on your Treo. TrailGuide (formerly referred to as TrailBlazer) is the optimized mobile client for Basecamp from Carry the Day. People who rely on Basecamp for project management and customer communication can now get these things done more efficiently on the road using a Windows Mobile device, such as the Treo 700w, Treo 700wx and Treo 750.

TrailGuide optimizes the Basecamp experience for the mobile device, letting customers access and edit their project information quickly, easily and more conveniently.

What you get with TrailGuide

  • Optimized Mobile Application – TrailGuide optimizes Basecamp Messages, To-Do Lists, Milestones and Files more effieciently than a mobile browser, so that customers can see and zero in on the most important things quickly and easily. Switching between multiple projects is easy because the application takes advantage of Treo touch screens, 5-way controls, and keyboards for navigation and data entry.
  • View and Edit – Customers can View and Edit projects whether they are online of offline.
  • Safe and Secure – TrailGuide uses a server to communicate between the mobile client application on the phone and Basecamp data. Communication between the TrailGuide client and the TrailGuide server – and between the TrailGuide server and Basecamp – is done via SSL security, so account information is safe. In addition, no data is stored permanently on the TrailGuide server; the server simply acts as a go-between when TrailBlazer posts new information to Basecamp that customers have entered on the phone, or updates the phone with new changes others have made on the web.

Best of all, TrailGuide works with all offered plans of BaseCamp — even the free plan! Pricing for TrailGuide starts from US$7 a month. There’s a 30-day free trial if you want to check it out.
