Make light work of day-to-day Studio management tasks including incoming task queue management, resource allocation, time recording and invoicing. Maximise the time available for creative work, and make sure that all billable time can be invoiced.
Let’s face it, nobody gets into design because they love administration. It’s just an unwelcome distraction from creativity.
However, content creation is a key part of Campaign lead times, so it’s crucial that Studio tasks are managed, monitored and recorded efficiently.
Marketingunity Studio Manager can help.
It’s easy-to-use interface and resource profiles deliver a fast but simple way to match incoming jobs to the right resource. And it’s time recording and costing functions ensure that all time spent is accounted for, without the need for time sheets.
Studio Manager records all actions as they happen, from task queue management and allocation through time recording and accounting. That gives Studio Managers and other stakeholders complete visibility at all times, so they can monitor every job’s progress, and control productivity.
Each combination of resource/task and client can have different hourly rates assigned. In combination with time recording, this supports accurate accounting and cost recording, and optional invoicing. Full Management reporting provides managers with the key metrics they need to optimise cost-effectiveness.
Time recording doesn’t just show jobs’ progress against deadlines, but also gives insight into each resource’s percentage utilisation. This empowers managers to ‘load-balance’ to maximise throughput, and also gives early warning of potential resource shortages.
