  <table><tbody>
    <tr><th>#</th><th>Tool Area</th><th>How We Use It</th></tr>
    <tr><td>01</td><td>Project Management</td><td>Primarily managed within ERPNext (Projects module) for task tracking, milestones, and issue management. Depending on client/project needs, Jira may also be used for enhanced tracking and collaboration.</td></tr>
    <tr><td>02</td><td>Code Repository</td><td>Code is managed using Git-based repositories, typically GitHub or GitLab, with proper version control, a branching strategy, and code review processes.</td></tr>
    <tr><td>03</td><td>Communication</td><td>Email is used for formal communication, while WhatsApp, Telegram, or Discord may be used selectively for quick updates or urgent coordination.</td></tr>
    <tr><td>04</td><td>Video Calls</td><td>Primarily conducted via Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, based on client preference and organisational standards.</td></tr>
    <tr><td>05</td><td>Documentation</td><td>Maintained using Google Docs/Sheets for collaborative documentation and shared access, along with ERPNext Wiki/Attachments for system-specific or project-linked documents.</td></tr>
    <tr><td>06</td><td>Design</td><td>UI/UX designs and wireframes are created using Figma as the preferred tool, with Adobe XD used when required.</td></tr>
    <tr><td>07</td><td>Support</td><td>Managed primarily through the ERPNext Helpdesk module via the ticketing system.</td></tr>
    <tr><td>08</td><td>Time Tracking</td><td>Time tracking is done within ERPNext Timesheets or integrated tools, enabling effort logging, billing alignment, and project monitoring where required.</td></tr>
