Just 70 days after acquiring Klaxoon, Wrike, the intelligent work management platform, has officially integrated the leading visual collaboration tool into its ecosystem. This swift move marks a significant evolution in how enterprises manage projects, collaborate on ideas, and execute work—from ideation to delivery—all within a unified digital experience.
This integration positions Wrike as the first work management platform to offer a fully integrated visual collaboration suite, blending Klaxoon’s whiteboarding and interactive ideation tools with Wrike’s AI-powered workflow execution engine.
“It’s not ideas that make businesses, it’s execution. Yet every project starts with an idea,” said Thomas Scott, CEO of Wrike. “We’re reinventing collaboration by turning ideation into intelligent execution.”
Bridging the Gap Between Ideation and Execution
Until now, many teams have relied on separate tools for brainstorming and execution, creating bottlenecks and fractured workflows. Wrike’s Klaxoon integration eliminates these silos by enabling seamless transitions between:
-
Ideation in Klaxoon: Use visual tools like whiteboards, mind maps, and breakout rooms to brainstorm and prioritize.
-
Execution in Wrike: Translate those ideas directly into actionable tasks, timelines, and workflows.
Unified Capabilities Include:
-
Two-way sync: Tasks and ideas update in real time across Wrike and Klaxoon.
-
Embedded Boards: Klaxoon whiteboards can be accessed or attached directly to Wrike tasks.
-
Visual strategy + action: Build infinite Klaxoon Boards from Wrike tasks to visualize progress and team alignment.
Benefits for Teams
This integration serves creative, strategic, and execution-oriented teams by streamlining how they work:
1. Faster Time to Execution
Teams can transfer ideas from brainstorming to project plans in just a few clicks, removing friction between planning and doing.
2. Enhanced Strategic Alignment
Attach Klaxoon Boards to Wrike’s OKRs, roadmaps, or agile workflows, ensuring high-level goals remain visible and actionable.
3. Productivity at Scale
With real-time updates and tool consolidation, teams avoid redundancy, reduce context switching, and maintain momentum.
4. Secure, Enterprise-Ready Architecture
The integration is enterprise-grade, supporting Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom, ensuring collaboration continuity across hybrid and remote environments.
“Whether our teams are in-office, remote, or hybrid, this integration helps bring us together with a shared visual workspace,” said Ali Moses, Process Improvement Manager at Varsity Yearbook.

Why This Matters for Enterprises
The rise in remote work, global teams, and digital transformation has catalyzed demand for unified platforms that support both creativity and execution. Wrike + Klaxoon directly addresses:

Tool fatigue: By reducing reliance on multiple disconnected apps
-
Revenue velocity: By accelerating idea-to-market workflows

“This is the future of work,” said Scott. “From briefs to boards to business outcomes—all in one place.”
