Artala runs on a modern, secure stack designed for real-time collaboration, strict tenant isolation, and multilingual teams from day one. Here's what's under the hood.
A client-side WebAssembly app backed by .NET and Azure SQL, designed to be fast on any connection and installable on any device.
The entire UI runs in the browser via Blazor WebAssembly. After the initial load, navigation is instant — no round-trips to the server for page renders. Installable as a PWA on Android, iOS, and desktop.
Board updates push instantly to all connected users via SignalR WebSockets. No polling. When a teammate moves a card, changes a status, or adds a comment, every open board reflects it immediately.
Every query runs through SQL Server Row Level Security with FILTER and BLOCK predicates on all tenant tables. Data isolation is enforced at the database layer — not just the application layer — making cross-tenant data leaks structurally impossible.
Kanban, List, Table (spreadsheet-style with inline editing), Timeline (Gantt), Sprint board with burndown, Backlog, and Activity feed. All views share the same filter state — switch views without losing context.
Scheduled Azure Functions handle due date reminders, recurring task generation, sprint burndown snapshots, weekly digest emails, database maintenance, and workspace export/restore — all running independently of the web app.
Connection pooling with scoped-per-request lifecycle, Polly retry policies for transient Azure SQL failures, tiered command timeouts, response caching with invalidation, and CDN-ready asset delivery.
A full REST and OData API, webhook system, and API keys — everything you need to connect Artala to your workflow.
Full CRUD for boards, tasks, comments, labels, custom fields, time entries, timesheet approvals, team members, and webhooks. Every write endpoint validates input server-side with descriptive error messages. All responses return consistent JSON — including errors.
{ "error": "..." } on every 4xx/5xxQuery tasks, boards, users, time entries (including timesheet approval status), timesheet approval weeks, and more with standard OData syntax. Use $filter, $orderby, $select, $top, and $skip for flexible data retrieval — ideal for BI tools, custom dashboards, and reporting integrations.
Subscribe to granular events across boards, tasks, comments, members, sprints, and timesheet approvals. Every webhook delivery is HMAC-signed, logged with response codes, and retried on failure.

Import tasks from any CSV or Excel file. Artala automatically detects exports from popular tools — mapping columns to fields without manual configuration. You can also import directly from a Trello JSON export, preserving boards, lists, cards, labels, and checklists.
Set rules that trigger when things happen. Reduce manual work and keep your boards moving.
Not a translation layer bolted on at the end. Artala is built multilingual and bidirectional from the ground up.
Each of Artala's 32 languages has a complete translation of every UI string and email template — users choose their own language, so multilingual teams can each work in their preferred language on the same board.
Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu, Persian, Kurdish Sorani, Pashto, and Sindhi are fully RTL — not mirrored CSS, but purpose-built bidirectional rendering. Dates, calendars, drag handles, and navigation all mirror correctly, and mixed-content strings resolve base direction from the content's own script — so a title that opens with a Latin brand name or SKU still reads right-to-left, and nothing flips when the interface language changes. Hijri mode offers a choice of calculation — Umm al-Qura (the Saudi civil calendar) or an adjustable calendar tuned to local moon sighting — with date pickers, calendar view, and timeline all rendering real, weekday-correct Hijri months.
Your data is isolated at the database level, protected by multi-factor authentication, and tracked in a complete audit trail.
Every tenant table (all 30 of them) has five RLS predicates: FILTER for reads, BLOCK AFTER INSERT, BLOCK BEFORE UPDATE, BLOCK AFTER UPDATE, BLOCK BEFORE DELETE. That's 150 security policies enforced at the SQL layer — before your query results ever reach application code.
TOTP two-factor authentication with QR code setup and backup codes. Trusted device management with 30-day HttpOnly cookies. Session tokens with revocation. API keys with actor attribution so automated actions are always traceable.
Five board roles — Owner, Admin, Member, Commenter, Viewer — each with precisely scoped permissions. Viewers see but can't edit. Commenters can discuss and log time. Members can work. Admins manage. Owners control everything.
Every significant action — logins, role changes, task modifications, setting changes, API key usage — is logged with timestamp, actor, and detail. API key actions show the key name, not just the user who created it. Full field-level task history tracks every change to every field.
Full workspace backup exports everything — boards, tasks, comments, attachments, custom fields, labels, time entries — as a ZIP archive. GDPR Article 17 account self-deletion is built in. Users can export their personal data directly from the app.
Hosted on Microsoft Azure (West Europe). Azure SQL with encryption at rest. Azure Blob Storage for attachments and avatars. Azure SignalR Service for scalable real-time connections.
A board-aware AI that understands your tasks, team, and workflow.
The AI assistant sees your board's tasks, statuses, assignees, and due dates. Ask it to create tasks from natural language, generate status updates, identify bottlenecks, or summarise what happened this week — and it responds with specifics from your actual data.
