Do you guys have any project management software you like to use?
We need something better to manage peoples time and tasks, keep track of BOMs and files, anything else that might be useful...
Preferably something cloud based..

Ok I thought it was just me: project management tools suck.
Ideal program matches timing, allows me to tag emails to projects, gives me a clean and intuitive open issues list, allows block diagrams at several different levels of technical knowledge, maps use cases, features, and functions, and tracks spending.
Everything seems like custom implementations on excel and project
Asana
We've been using that for a little while now, but it doesn't quite do everything we'd like... If that were to be combined with Google drive/docs and calendar, it would be great.
It's sort of weird that there isn't a google drive integration, it was built by Ex-Google (I think). We use Basecamp at work but I hate it because it doesn't have drop box integration.
Asana has recently launched drop box integration
Basecamp seems to suit your need. Its cloud based and is pretty deeply oriented to collaboration. I think it has a free trial as well.
Thank, I'll check it out. The 3rd party support seems to add a lot to it.
Excel, but maybe I am susceptible to the old saying, "Once you have a hammer everything looks like a nail."
For scheduling hands down primavera p6, msproject is fine for small jobs but it is wanting when it comes to more complicated schedules. To manage files, change orders, rfi's etc I am partial to cm13.......but make do with trusty old excel.
MS Project is the only thing I've used...
