Software Downunder Newsletter
Are you getting enough yes's?




We try for as many as possible.
Dear

You are probably aware by now, as you are receiving our newsletter, that Workamajig is a web-based job tracking and integrated project management software that streamlines entire ad agencies and creative firms. We manage all aspects of an operation from new business and sales leads to staffing and creative execution, all the way through a project's cycle to accounting and financial reporting.

 

You may also already know that we help anyone that does anything in a creative ad agency or creative firm, in-house marketing department or group.  

 

But is there anything else you don't know? 

We can't give you a yes until you give us your question.

Every organisation has their project management 'issues', and every department within the organisation usually has their own specific hot buttons and frustrations that can often be addressed with a good match of software.

For instance:

 

Creative:                 

Q: Can I see what projects I am assigned to and when        each task is due? YES    

Q: Do I have a choice of time sheet entry methods an        is a stopwatch included? YES

 

Account Service:

Q: Can I see at a glance if any of my projects have gone     over budget? YES
Q: Can I give clients estimates in multiple quantity            options? YES

 

Trafficking:

Q: Can I assign in my staff to certain tasks of a project       with due dates and assigned hours specified? YES
Q: Can I easily see how 'booked up' my studio is and         where the gaps are? YES

  

Finance:                   

Q: Can I turn an estimate into an invoice? YES  

Q: Can I get profitability reporting by client, project,         office and department? YES

 

Clients:

Q: Can my clients have a login and view time lines?              YES    

Q: Can my clients receive and approve artwork & files         through Workamajig? YES

 

Production:

Q: Can I request quotes from my suppliers directly out       of Workamajig? YES   

Q: Can I then easily turn these quotes into a purchase        order? YES     

 

New Business:

Q: Is there a CRM option in Workamajig that tracks             appointments, progression and notes for new                 business leads? YES
Q: Can I get reminders to follow up these leads? YES

 

Media:  

Q: Can I raise insertion and broadcast orders for my            media bookings? YES
Q: Can I invoice straight from these orders? YES 

 

 

But don't let us put words in your mouth - ask us your own questions. We welcome them and enjoy the opportunity to take you through any or every part of Workamajig. Most of us are natural show offs.

 

No system suits every business, so we have alternatives to offer those of you with smaller operations or simpler needs.

Our business is to determine the best fit.


Strike while the $ is hot!

For our Aussie prospects - Workamajig is priced in USD so take advantage of the strong AUD.

 Have you had a quote yet? We love being compared with other systems.


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.

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.
