Do you know how much of your company’s annual budget is allotted to productivity and communication tools?
According to our calculations, you’re spending tens of thousands of dollars more than you need to be — and that’s if you only have about a hundred employees.
For larger enterprises, that number could easily surpass millions.
At that kind of price point, you’d want tools that can seamlessly integrate with each other.
Unfortunately, that’s usually not the case, especially for organizations that try to reduce SaaS subscription costs by using an assortment of lesser-known tools that weren’t made by the same company.
But, what if you didn’t need to compromise? What if there was a way to address the problem of tool fragmentation while still realizing your operational savings goals?
That’s exactly what the CAKE.com Bundle plan can do for you.

- Organizations are wasting tens of thousands of dollars annually on fragmented productivity and communication tools.
- In chasing operational savings, companies opt for tools from different manufacturers that make team workflow consolidation all but impossible.
- The CAKE.com Bundle plan reduces tool fragmentation by giving you an integrated ecosystem of 3 key productivity apps your team will be using every day.
- The CAKE.com productivity stack includes:
- The time tracking tool, Clockify,
- The task and project management app, Plaky, and
- The communication platform that acts as a central hub — Pumble.
- CAKE.com accounts enable cross-functional coordination across the 3 tools, allowing you to seamlessly integrate Pumble, Plaky, and Clockify.
The problem with tech stack fragmentation
Using tools that weren’t designed by the same team can hinder establishing a connected workflow that’s critical for every department in your organization.
At best, tool fragmentation will produce low-level friction that will make everyday tasks just a bit more annoying for your team.
At worst, it can lead to:
- Communication breakdowns like team siloing, which can occur as teams develop unique ways of using the tools at their disposal, and
- Scaling issues, as not every app will let you add users as easily as others.
If you don’t address these issues early on, they will eventually become an administrative and financial nightmare for your company.
Obviously, dealing with invoices from all different companies won’t be a picnic for your financial department.
On top of that, having to manage your employees’ accounts across different platforms is bound to result in oversights that can even put your company’s security at risk.
So, how exactly does the CAKE.com ecosystem solve these issues?
The CAKE.com Productivity Suite: An all-in-one business solution
At the end of the day, there is only one way to prevent tool fragmentation: making sure your core apps are a part of a single, integrated ecosystem.
That’s where the CAKE.com Productivity Suite comes in.
This all-in-one business solution consists of 3 tools your organization will be using every single day:
- Clockify, the time tracking and reporting app,
- Plaky, the task and project management platform, and
- Pumble, the communication platform that lets you coordinate, collaborate, and connect the 3 apps.
Each solution is a fully fleshed out standalone tool, but their real strength comes from the features that enable cross-functional collaboration between the apps.
All 3 apps all have separate, tiered pricing plans, which even include well-featured free plans.
On top of that, all Clockify, Pumble, and Plaky users have access to CAKE.com’s world-class support team, which offers 100% human, 24/7 service.
What exactly is the CAKE.com Bundle plan?
In simple terms, the CAKE.com Bundle is a pricing plan that gives you access to Enterprise-level features of all 3 CAKE.com products at less than half the cost of purchasing each Enterprise plan separately.
Instead of paying $27.97 per user per month, the CAKE.com Bundle unlocks all features for only $12.99 per seat per month for the annual subscription.
The benefits of getting the CAKE.com productivity stack are clear. You’d be able to reduce SaaS subscription costs while also reducing the number of separate invoices you have to pay.
On top of that, administrative work becomes much simpler with CAKE.com Accounts.
These consolidated user accounts give CAKE.com workspace owners and admins centralized administration options, allowing them to manage user roles and permissions across the 3 platforms.
They also allow you to integrate Pumble, Plaky, and Clockify to create a more connected workflow between the apps.

Meet the CAKE.com productivity stack
Now that you know a bit about what the CAKE.com Bundle plan is, let’s take a look at its individual components:
- Pumble,
- Clockify, and
- Plaky.
Pumble — the business messaging app
As CAKE.com’s communication solution, Pumble is the one app your team will be going back to several times throughout the day.
Basically, the app has everything your team will need to collaborate and communicate asynchronously or in real time.
Your team will be able to:
- Create an unlimited number of private or public channels and group chats — or use direct messages,
- Send voice notes and video messages, and
- Organize messages with Pumble threads or use quote replies.
If your team prefers real-time exchanges, they can also:
- Start quick voice calls within chats or channels,
- Schedule video calls with meeting links and calendar integrations,
- Share their screens (in video calls or video messages), and even
- Record meetings.

Depending on how long your meetings run, you may worry about those meeting recordings eating away at your workspace storage.
But, that shouldn’t be a problem with the CAKE.com Bundle. After all, Pumble’s storage is scalable, with:
- The Pro plan expanding the workspace storage by 10 GB per member,
- The Business plan expanding the storage by 20 GB per member, and
- The Enterprise plan adding 100 GB of storage per seat.
However, Pumble’s role in the CAKE.com Bundle could be its most important function. Through its integrations with Clockify and Plaky, the app acts as a central hub for all activities across the CAKE.com productivity stack.
Having said that, let’s move on to learning more about Clockify and how it connects to Pumble and Plaky.
Clockify — the time tracking tool
Clockify is arguably the most famous tool in the CAKE.com productivity stack, with millions of satisfied customers across different industries.
The app functions as a versatile task and project tracking platform that can be used as a:
- Simple work hours tracker or a clock-in kiosk,
- A work reporting platform, and
- An employee management tool.
Though the free version of the app is mostly suitable for individuals or small teams, it still lets you track team activity and see reports.
Of course, paying customers get even more administrative features, including the ability to:
- Bulk edit entries,
- Export and share data,
- Control user accounts,
- Set up recurring invoices, and
- Request and approve (or deny) time off.

Clockify users can also set reminders to remember to track their work hours, which users are able to see in Pumble, too.
On top of that, Pumble’s Clockify integration can also:
- Show approved or rejected time off or sick leave requests,
- Automatically change the user’s Pumble status to reflect their time off, and even
- Allow managers to respond to time off requests without leaving Pumble.

Plaky — the task and project management platform
Last but certainly not least, we have Plaky: the task and project management platform you can use to organize all your team activities.
You can set up your workspace by:
- Using Boards to represent different departments, teams, and members,
- Organizing your tasks with Item and Subitem cards,
- Switching between different viewing options, and
- Customizing different fields for task names, due dates, statuses, and more.

Though free users can create an unlimited number of Spaces, Boards, Items, and views, Enterprise-level customers also get:
- Enhanced management features,
- More automations options, and
- An unlimited activity log — among other benefits.
On top of that, if you choose to fully integrate Pumble, Plaky, and Clockify, you’ll also be able to:
- Start your Clockify timer within your Plaky Item cards, thanks to Plaky’s Clockify integration, and
- Receive Plaky notifications within Pumble, as shown below.

The CAKE.com productivity stack in action
At this point, you might be wondering: what does all of this look like in real life?
Here are two examples of how different organizations might use the CAKE.com Suite to establish team workflow consolidation.
Working with clients and contractors
If you’re running an agency that often works with clients or other external collaborators, chances are, you already know how difficult it can be to keep these third parties in the loop.
Email can get pretty messy, and it doesn’t exactly let you to show your work — or check someone else’s.
That’s why features like Pumble’s guest access accounts, Plaky’s ability to add users to Boards as Viewers, and Clockify’s invoicing and reporting features can be so helpful.
These tools help you more effectively collaborate and communicate with clients, contractors, and freelancers alike by letting you:
- Limit third parties to specific Pumble channels and Plaky boards,
- Track billable hours and invoice different clients with Clockify, and
- Host meetings with external collaborators (even those without access to your workspace) with Pumble.

- Clockify keeps your team accountable by letting them track their work hours,
- Pumble helps them communicate and keep track of team announcements asynchronously, and
- Plaky shows you what everyone is working on — even if they can’t answer your messages right away.
