FOR CLIENT & PROJECT MANAGERS

Keep your projects on track and clients profitable

Synergist gives you the full picture. Know exactly where every job stands.

Manage your agency's projects, clients and new business 

Under-quoting, over-servicing, scope creep and amends are all too familiar challenges for creative agencies. Synergist helps agencies and consultancies handle small jobs, big complex projects and ongoing retainers in one place.

Day-to-day: stay ahead

Synergist helps you organise priorities and keep jobs moving, alerting you to issues immediately.

  • Stay on top of your actions. See immediately what activities you need to do at an opportunity, client or job level and add reminders for future actions.

  • Assign tasks to your teams. Create activities against a client, job or project phase.

  • Keep on track. See the status of outstanding activities at a glance and get alerts when comments are added, tasks are completed or deadlines are missed.

  • Get early warnings. Customisable alerts flag any issues, such as a job that’s running late or reaching a certain percentage of its budget.

Week-to-week: manage projects proficiently

Deliver projects on time and on budget. Plan, track and finish it all in one place.

  • Create accurate estimates. Use previous project time and cost data or templates to keep your estimating consistent.

  • Plan projects visually. Quickly set up Gantt charts to plan project timelines and share visual project plans with clients.

  • Book and brief seamlessly. Schedule the right resources, attach all the information they need and accurately track time against the job.

  • Keep jobs on track. Instantly see a live picture of your project’s progress, budgets, costs and profitability. An at-a-glance colour-coded system alerts you if you’re ‘job healthy’ or not, so you can quickly take proactive measures.

Month-to-month: drive project profitability

Under-billing or over-servicing? Use past project data to learn from every job and price the next one for profit.

  • Keep billing on track. Create billing plans based on phase completion or dates. Easily allocate costs, generate timely invoices and update revenue forecasts automatically.

  • See project and profit reporting. Quickly see the profit of overall job or phase within a job, identify where projects have gone over budget or delays have occurred.

  • Manage client reporting. Monitor client revenue forecasts, actual spend vs target, profit and margins, and your client investment to make sure you’re managing clients effectively and profitably.

  • Stay on top of new business. Easily manage contacts, opportunities and actions to keep new business on course. Track your pipeline against targets and see where you have capacity to bring work forward or sell more.
