Project management tools, which are widely used by over 85% of businesses, facilitate task and time tracking, collaboration, and are often integrated with other applications via accessible APIs. These tools can be categorized into multi-purpose project management tools like Asana and Trello, and general-purpose databases with project management features such as Monday and Airtable. APIs organize data through schemas involving projects, tickets, and associated tasks, which can be managed using various integrations with chat, CRM, file storage, and analytics tools. Integrations enhance workflows by connecting project management systems with other software, such as SCM, CI/CD, and security platforms, enabling diverse functionalities like time tracking, reporting, and compliance management. Merge offers a Unified API to streamline integration with multiple project management tools, simplifying authentication, pagination, and maintenance, while also functioning as a platform to manage customer integrations.
