    Project Management
    Creative Manager Pro easily overcomes the challenges your firm faces in planning project tasks and assigning them to your staff. Visual Gantt charts and calendars allow employees and managers to review staff assignments at a glance. Free access can also be granted to clients to allow them to check on project status. They only see the project information that you choose.

    Your most important asset is your talented staff. Now, managing staff resources couldn't be easier. Creative Manager Pro provides you with the resource management tools that permit you to spend less time in production meetings and know at-a-glance who is available to take on more work. It will ensure you maximize productivity to ensure an even flow of work at all times. Increased productivity results in lower costs and maximized profits.

    Time Management
    Creative Manager Pro allows designers to easily enter and track their time-an important task that often gets overlooked.

    Creative Manager Pro automatically tracks staff charge-ability goals and presents information in real time graphic charts. When you enter the goals of each staff member, watch the numbers change as they enter their billable and non-billable time into the system. Staff members can review this information to see immediate positive feedback on their contribution to the bottom line.

    Document Management & Review
    Free client access for Review of proofs and comps
    Presenting your work to clients can often meet roadblocks and slow progress on a project. Meetings are scheduled, cancelled, or postponed-delaying their review of your current status and sign-off to the next step. With Creative Manager Pro, you can publish your creative work on-line and route files for distribution and review with clients and outside vendors. Free client access allows any number of outside users to review and comment on the work that you have done to date.

    Version control allows you to manage the latest version of your creative work, or return to previous versions. Extensive file search capabilities enable you to quickly find specific documents you may need for client review. Automatic email notifications provide you with and easy way to know when that document that you're waiting for has been updated.

    Accounting
    Accounting is not the creative mind's favorite task. Fortunately, Creative Manager Pro takes care of this completely freeing you to pursue and complete more creative work.

    Creative Manager Pro's system works with either a small firm looking to integrate with their existing accounting system, or a larger studio requiring a fully integrated solution.

    For the smaller firms, Creative Manager Pro integrates seamlessly with all popular accounting systems, including QuickBooks, Peachtree, MYOB and more.

    Larger firms will like the optional internal accounting module, which is designed specifically for your industry with advanced accounting features such as departmental budgeting, work-in-process posting to GL, retainers, client advances, and more.

    Contact Management / CRM
    CRM-Client Relationship Management-is one of the most important aspects of the Creative Manager Pro project management software. With Creative Manager Pro, you can integrate new business development to selling and initiating new projects.

    All calendar information can be in one place. Sales and project management calendars are integrated. Specifications that are captured during the sales process can be automatically transferred to new jobs. Project schedules, staff meetings, client and sales meetings, and personal appointments can be all integrated into one calendar for easy review. Look to one place for today's schedule for any individual in your firm.

    Benchmarks
    Manage billing efficiency. Setting goals and managing progress towards those goals is a formula that leads to success. Since you cannot manage what you don't measure, Creative Manager Pro incorporates industry standard metrics directly into the system, enabling you to easily manage your staff efficiency

    Design firm management consultants and industry associations have all said the same thing: In order to succeed, critical benchmarks are key to being able to measure your firm against the averages of other firms in the industry.

    Creative Manager Pro is the only product that defines those benchmarks, calculates your progress against those benchmarks, and presents your progress in a graphical manner.

    As you measure and manage the metrics that Creative Manager Pro provides, you will begin to grasp the power of mastermindingly being able to manage the numbers, like the baseball managers of yesteryear. In the end, it's a numbers game, and those that watch the numbers, will win!
