Minute vs Google Drive

Collaborate on notes, todo's & other documents.

Minute can be seamlessly integrated with most workflows and online services currently on the market, in every functional aspect.

• Calendar
  Minute works great with iCalendar on your iPhone or iPad. Turn calendar appointments into meetings with the press of a button. You can invite people to join meetings by email and Minute automatically invites them again when when you create a follow-up meeting.

• Documents
  Import documents directly from your computer before and during meetings. Import them using Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, iCloud or Evernote. After the meeting, it’s just as easy to save documents, along with any notes made during the meeting. Everyone will always have the most up to date information.

• Scrumming
  Do you use scrum and sprints? Minute works great with that too, creating a seamless integration with your workflow. Turn on timers for different agenda items and instantly divide tasks during the meeting. Items and tasks that couldn’t be discussed in the allocated time will automatically be transferred to the next meeting.

Makes meetings easier and more efficient.

At Minute, we’ve looked long and hard for ways to facilitate meetings in the easiest way possible. Like how to save on paper, by creating an easy to understand digital environment. Or how we can make meetings more efficient, while at the same time using the simplest and most minimal technological tools at our disposal. How to make sure every single employee is able to access all the important information out there. And how to make an app that everyone instantly understands, whether they’re using their iPhone or iPad, or just using the web. We’ve let people from outside the company test our application, and the response we got was amazing. That’s why we’ve made our app publicly available, so it can be used by any company or office.

Using Minute saves 16 trees each year - that’s equal to one metric ton of paper.

In the Netherlands alone, 0.24 tree is cut down per employee, just to keep up with the demand for printing paper. That comes down to one tree per 400 employees every year. And when you do the math for the total of 7.2 million people currently employed in the Netherlands, it means the loss of 18.000 trees every year.

Research done by PriceWaterhouseCoopers shows that an average business:

makes 19 copies of every single paper document
spends 25 dollars to file one paper document
spends 130 dollars euros looking for a single misplaced document
spends 25 hours restoring one lost document
loses 10% of its yearly revenue just by processing information on paper
spends 7 minutes looking up and refiling one paper document
