The product
Everything in Beevyl exists because two companies share the work but not the org chart. This is the tour — from the baton pass to the closing ceremony.
01 · Handoffs
Work crossing the company line is grouped by who needs to act next — your turn, or waiting on them — so the board always shows who is holding the ball.
Every handoff carries acceptance criteria, written before work starts — so both sides agree what done means while it's still cheap to disagree.
Time-to-accept and time-to-deliver are measured automatically from the moment a handoff is proposed — and roll up into each company's averages.
Link the tasks, documents and decisions a handoff depends on. When someone opens it, everything they need is one click deep.
02 · The referee
Two companies share no manager. So Beevyl plays the referee — the same neutral figures, shown to both sides, derived from the record itself.
Accountability dashboard
The side-by-side scoreboard
Identical for both companies. Internal work is excluded, so private prep never skews the joint numbers.
Attention
Drift, surfaced automatically
Staleness is derived from the record's own timestamps — anything sitting too long is surfaced, ranked, and attributed. Before it becomes a fire.
03 · Blockers
A blocker names which company is blocking, how badly, and why. Then the clock takes over: the named counterpart is notified after 24 hours, the other side's workspace lead after 48. The timers are yours to tune — the point is that no human has to be the nag.
04 · Decisions
A decision is proposed by one side and signed off by the other — the proposer can't self-sign. Once agreed it's on the record for good: never edited, only superseded by a later decision that points back at the one it replaces.
05 · The day-to-day
The familiar surfaces are all here — board, schedule, documents, wiki, roster. What's different is that every one of them knows there's a company line running through the room. Nine of them, one at a time.
05.1
Kanban and list views, every task tagged with the company that owns it and the person it's assigned to. But the lane that matters is the invisible one: draft work internally, where the other side can't see it, and promote it to the shared board when it becomes a commitment. Promotion is a one-way door — so what's shared, stays shared.
05.2
Milestones are the checkpoints both companies agreed to — so they live in the neutral space, not in one side's project tool. The schedule track runs from kickoff to target end date with a Today marker, and slippage shows up as a dot drifting to the wrong side of it.
05.3
Beevyl doesn't want to be your file store. Register a pointer to where the current version actually lives — SharePoint, Drive, Box — and sensitive files never leave your own storage. Or upload it here, where it's scanned and locked down. Either way, exactly one entry can be marked canonical, so "which version counts" has exactly one answer.
05.4
Two companies rarely use the same words for the same things, and projects die in the gap. Knowledge holds the pages you keep re-explaining and a shared glossary for the words you keep defining — so when one side says "go-live", both sides mean the same moment.
05.5
The activity feed is the running pulse both companies read: every handoff, blocker, decision and task step lands there automatically, grouped by day and attributed to a side. Underneath sits the audit log — an immutable account of who did what, when, and on which object, including failures.
05.6
Cross-company work generates a lot of events, and almost none of them need to interrupt you. Five categories, each set per person to immediate, daily digest, or off — so a blocker escalation reaches you now and everything else arrives once, at 7am.
05.7
If you run the same shape of engagement again and again, your playbook shouldn't be rebuilt by hand each time. A template holds milestones with due-day offsets and starter tasks for both sides — cloned into a new workspace at creation, dated relative to the kickoff you just picked.
05.8
The roster is grouped by company, because that's the fact that matters. Each side manages its own people and picks their role: one accountable Lead per company, Members who do the work, Viewers who read everything, and Observers — a safe seat for an exec or a client sponsor, limited to the high-level surfaces.
05.9
Collaboration is symmetric; ownership isn't. The buying company gets its own administrative layer, kept entirely separate from the collaboration roles — so someone can run billing without reading a single handoff, or lead an engagement with no account powers at all.
06 · The whole arc
A Beevyl workspace has a beginning, a middle and an end. Pause it, resume it — and when the work is done, wind it down properly.
07 · Teardown & export
Most tools make leaving a support ticket. Beevyl makes it a step in the process: when a workspace closes, each company downloads its own complete copy — not a courtesy export for the owner and a shrug for the guest.
Step one
A Lead marks the workspace Closing. It stays fully readable and the wind-down begins — every handoff reaches a terminal state, open blockers get cleared or documented, and unsigned decisions get resolved or listed as open items.
Step two
Both sides download their own pack, independently. Neither needs the other's permission, and neither can quietly take a copy the other doesn't get.
Step three
The workspace becomes read-only for both companies, audit trail intact. It stops being billable the same day — and stays there, readable, at no cost, for as long as you want it.

The counterparty never paid a cent — and still leaves with the same portable record as the company that owns the workspace. Open formats, no proprietary container, nothing to request from support. The audit trail travels with it.
08 · Security
Two companies' work in one place is a responsibility. The controls are built in from the first login, not bolted on for the certification.
Files are scanned by Microsoft Defender and stay locked until the verdict is clean. Infected files are quarantined for good — a verdict never downgrades.
Uploads are validated against their actual leading bytes — an executable renamed to .pdf is rejected. Scripts, HTML and SVG never get in.
No public links, no shared storage keys. Every download is authenticated and authorized in real time; probing outsiders see identical 404s.
Modern sign-in with passkeys, 2FA with recovery codes, and external logins — on top of two independent layers of role-based permissions.
Invite links are signed and die at 14 days; unaccepted invitations are swept away automatically. A forgotten invite never becomes a backdoor.
Sensitive fields are encrypted at the application layer, secrets live in managed key vaults, and infrastructure access uses short-lived cloud identities — no long-lived keys anywhere.
Create a workspace, invite the other side — they pay nothing — and run one real handoff through it.
