Is time keeping still a contentious issue?




Could you improve your control of time keeping?
Dear

The accuracy and punctuality off time sheets really are the key to:

  • assessing the efficiency of the creative department
  • improving your estimating
  • establishing the true profit on a project
  • achieving more timely billing and reimbursement

 

Workamajig can be set up to notify the appointed approvers of unsubmitted time sheets by a nominated deadline, with the ability to flag missing timesheets keeping the projects and the costs up to date.

 

Would a quick check of deadlines and dollars help? 

We can show you at a glance which projects are going over budget or over schedule. Workamajig enables notifications to be activated when your project reaches a designated point. You decide at what stage the warning is triggered:

  • at any stage that doesn't meet the planned date or cost
  • at a nominated percentage of completion
  • when the project is at a certain percentage over time or budget

Or - you can have the active projects list on your desktop showing a red/green/yellow traffic light option as the quick visual 'health check' that will avert so many potential problems. 

 

Keeping the project team in the loop.

There are obvious benefits to storing all details relevant to a project in one place, e.g.

  • project request
  • specifications
  • diary notes
  • digital assets
  • estimates
  • purchase orders

They can then be viewed by anyone with access to that project, which keeps everyone up to the minute with changes, comments, approvals etc, and all team members are clear on the situation at any time.

Workamajig is web based for easy remote access and all updates are in real time.  

No one should accept less for effective project management.   

 


Please pick up the phone or drop us an email to book a demo. A quick overview and check of suitability to your operation can be done in 20 to 30 minutes. That will be time well spent!


Sincerely,
Rondelle Taylor

Workamajig
beach2009

A web-based tracking and integrated project management software,Workamajig streamlines new business and sales leads, assigns staff to tasks,offers detailed project trafficking, and manages the whole project cycle through to accounting and financial reporting.
One of the strengths is 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.

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.
