Roles

Product/Project Managers

  • Prepare effective project proposals
      Project proposals involve much online research, finding relevant sources, and collating relevant content. Sometimes, the proposal may require creating user interface wireframe diagrams to illustrate certain concepts. Do it all with Pixtel, without bouncing every new piece of evidence between multiple applications.
  • Develop product specifications
      Product specifications start with defining a product and detailing the necessary requirements. Requirements can involve showing the state of an existing user interface followed by the UI with some new requirements/enhancements. With Pixtel, organizing side-by-side images into a quick slideshow takes only a couple clicks, and can help illustrate the proposed changes effectively while keeping it easy to make ad-hoc modifications.
  • Create quick wireframes
      Leave those expensive wireframe design tools behind! In nearly 80% of cases, product managers require a quick, lightweight wireframe illustrate idea to their team, and with Pixtel, variations of different wireframe designs can be drafted in minutes simply using vector icons and clip-art.

Pixtel Software Architects and Developers

Software Architects and Developers

  • Create appealing architecture diagrams
      Either create a new architecture diagram or open an existing one and copy it over to Pixtel to make modifications. Similar to wireframes, defining a quick diagram without resorting to sophisticated tools is super easy. And best of all, any created diagrams/designs can be managed in Pixtel without any external file management. Remember all those times searching through all your folders for a prior version of an architecture presentation? Pixtel makes that a thing of the past with its strong file management support.
  • Track best practices
      Technology changes rapidly. As an architect, you need to keep track of various websites that provide best practices and reference implementations. Visual bookmarks in Pixtel make this process easier than ever before, allowing you to review the content of the page offline and can open the page in your browser directly from the screenshot, all in one place.
  • Keep code snippets handy
      How many times as a software developer, you have searched stack overflow for solving a programming issue? Often, the search is done for the same or similar issue, as you may have forgotten the context of the last search. With Pixtel, you can take a snapshot of the response that is relevant for you, visual bookmark the page, keep a sticky note with the code fix, and organize it in a Programming category with tags. Next time, when you are looking for a similar fix, you have it right in front you, saving you from many distracting web searches.
  • Save reference UI designs
      Most user interface developers we know love to collect great looking UI designs and color palettes by bookmarking relevant web pages. With Pixtel, you can simply capture the UI and refer to them locally when needed. Annotations help you remember any relevant data about each image, such as color codes and default canvas sizes.

Quality Assurance Engineers

  • Just imagine..
      You are busy testing a new feature and have identified a critical issue which produces an exception on the web page for a specific set of form field values. To reproduce the issue, you need to execute a sequence of four particular steps across different pages. The best way to communicate exactly what's going on calls for some screenshots, but you know if you go this route you first need to take screenshots of each page, highlight the cause of the error, log in to your bug tracking application, create an issue with a detailed description, and attach each one of the highlighted screenshots. This is, well... a process. Sound familiar?
      With Pixtel, take all your screenshots in one place, annotate them efficiently using smart tools that are meant for the job, connect to Jira, and create a new issue directly from our integrated Jira interface. No need to open your browser, navigate to relevant projects, and fill-in every required field for every screenshot. Pixtel takes care of it all for you, improving issue reporting time by an order of magnitude and helping you to focus on discovering more issues.
  • With Pixtel...
      Now that you've filed the issue, a developer looks at it and informs you that the data is not sufficient. You need to add more info, and this means more annotated screenshots. From the Pixtel interface, you can simply just select the issue and update it with a new screenshot. All your screenshots can be organized into categories and sub-categories with tagging for quick retrieval.
  • Additionally,
      You can also record a video of the issue attach it to a Jira issue! Pixtel provides various recording options to optimize the recording's size for demonstrations.

Pixtel Marketing Managers

Marketing Managers

  • Product Marketing
      Competitive analysis is a key focus area for product marketing that involves product positioning analysis, pricing, and product strength/weakness assessment. There is much material on the web which needs to be referenced and collated for proper analysis. Pixtel helps to obtain scrolling capture of the web pages which can be annotated and presented in a slideshow with the full scrollable webpage. Collect and collate product pricing web pages to compare without requiring any external tools.
  • Generate marketing materials
      Pixtel not only helps you take screenshots but create screens composed of various graphical elements, embedded images, and annotations. Marketing professionals can create quick marketing posters and prepare them for printing using image posterization support. These screen compositions are very useful in email marketing. No need for expensive image editing tools.

Finance Professionals

  • Record online transactions
      In charge of your business's finances? You've probably processed a hefty share of expense payments, invoices, taxes, etc. For most transactions, you know regulations require you to keep statements or transaction records around for auditing purposes for several years. Pixtel helps to take screenshots of every transaction with ease and organize them using categories and tags.
  • Communicate better
      Small businesses pay monthly expenses and taxes, occasionally taking screenshots of all the payments they need to send to an auditor for bookkeeping. With Pixtel they can just export them into Excel and show these calculations on an Excel document, along with any relevant comments to provide context for the transactions. This eliminates the need to explain each calculation in an email.
