What Creative Agencies love most about Paymo

Keep the Creative Juices Flowing

Paymo offers several options for tracking time, with PaymoPlus as the ideal tool for creative people in particular. The app allows them to jump from one idea to another, from one task to another, without interrupting their creative flow.

Keep a Close Eye on the Project's Budget

When you’re involved in a lot of projects, it’s important to keep track of the project’s performance to make sure you’re balancing costs and earnings. This way, you can nip overspending in the bud and constantly prioritize to see what’s most important.

Estimates & Expense Tracking

Monitoring your projects will help you see how much time is spent on recurring tasks, which will create more accurate estimates for your future projects. You can convert your estimates into invoices and keep track of your expenses.

The Discussion Module

When you have a good idea or you want to ask your colleagues questions about a certain task or project, you can use the discussions module. That way, you will have all the project details in one place and see everyone’s input.

Stay Organized with Timesheets

When you handle many projects, you also run the risk of having them overlap. That’s when Timesheets come in, and they help you see where you have empty time windows.

Project Overview

When you’re handling a lot of projects, it’s important to be able to have a quick view over the project’s scope and main details so that you can focus on what’s essential and don’t sacrifice quality.
