Could you 'engage' your clients more successfully by offering them access to your project management system?
Greetings!
We all know that securing an existing client's loyalty is less expensive than just chasing new business. So, it makes sense to offer your clients more advantages if they are at no additional cost to you.
An engaged client is a committed client, and we can help you propose!
By offering all or selected clients their own login to your Workamajig project management system you are giving them the facility to interact directly with their projects, which is being recognised as a real benefit to everyone involved.
 
The client's access is strictly controlled by the viewing rights of their specific security group, so you decide what level of communication to offer them.
 
The options available to clients include:
  • issuing new project requests
  • viewing all their current projects including the budgets and schedules
  • viewing all outstanding invoices
  • approving, or rejecting with comments, estimates and invoices
  • approving or uploading digital asset files
  • viewing and adding meeting details and project notes
Clients can even tailor their own desktop layout and colours to suit their preference.

All our Workamajig users who have offered client access to their project management system have found it to be a WIN/WIN decision. Your client appreciates the easy access and transparency, and everyone benefits from the integrated communication that saves time and minimises misunderstandings.

Controlled access can also be offered to your freelancers and vendors/suppliers
For example, they may:
  • View the current project status
  • View the project description, creative brief and spec. sheets
  • Use timesheets and add expenses to the project
  • Create purchase orders from quotes
  • Add/edit digital art reviews
The huge advantage of offering this access to Workamajig is  that clients and suppliers are not considered full users of the system, so there is no charge to you for providing a login.
A new system for a new year!
Get 2010 sorted by looking at new software options now so you can begin the new year with a new system to improve all aspects of your project management.

We can offer you :
  • "All the Bells and Whistles" (from CRM to project management to balance sheet) at a very competitive price,  or
  • something simple and ultra-quick to implement, to be up-and-running after very little training - no contract required, all web-based and locally grown
Are you interested to see how we can assist your operation specifically?

Pick up the phone or drop us an email to book a demo (it can all be done in a hour) and talk about your needs so we can make an informed recommendation.

Workamajig
beach2009

Workamajig offers a brilliant option for file reviews and approvals. This function can be used to route files or web URLs to the project team members for their feedback. The reviewer can approve or reject the item and the system will store the results in the project. Files can be sent out to several contacts at once, or in a selected order that progresses only when each stage of the contact list approves.

An interactive diary adds notes related to the project so they are stored as part of the project's history. This can be made visible to the client - or not - and can be emailed to the project team members when saved.

Our latest upgrade now includes very comprehensive CRM capabilities, managing sales activities, opportunities, leads, contacts and companies.

About Us

Our director, Rondelle Taylor, has had ten years experience as the financial controller of a medium sized agency, handling a wide variety of project types and sizes.
Recognising the problems of not having an adequate system for project management and profit tracking, and the need for the integration of separate systems (Excel, Word, and Myob etc.) led to the current consultancy role.
Maintaining a detailed analysis of available software solutions enables Software Downunder to recommend a system to best fit your needs.

You need the software solution that suits the size of your business and the complexity of your projects. If your projects are simple and you currently have fewer than 10 people handling them, your software requirements may be simple also.
