Time tracking in the same tool changed our billing

We rolled it out to twenty two people and adoption was close to complete within a month. Custom request forms that route intake with the right fields. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Version tracked approval cycles that replace email chains. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking. The mobile app is good enough for approvals on the road.

What does not

Without governance the number of boards grows out of control.

Client reporting takes minutes now

The team asked to keep it after the trial, which has never happened before. In browser proofing and mark up for images, video and PDFs. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

Simple enough that people actually use it

Client status reporting used to take a morning a week. Now it takes ten minutes. In browser proofing and mark up for images, video and PDFs. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. Worth the migration effort, which is not something I say often.

What works

Version tracked approval cycles that replace email chains. Client facing views mean fewer status emails. Everyone can see what is due this week without asking.

What does not

Reporting is weaker than the task management.

Visibility across twelve projects, finally

Client status reporting used to take a morning a week. Now it takes ten minutes. Custom item types for modelling briefs, campaigns and assets. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

Adoption was harder than expected

It works, we just had to redo our structure after four months of getting it wrong. Custom item types for modelling briefs, campaigns and assets. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. It is a reasonable choice, provided you know what it does not do.

What works

Custom item types for modelling briefs, campaigns and assets. Task management is reliable.

What does not

There is no native time tracking. Performance degrades on a large workspace.

The whole team adopted it in a fortnight

If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.
