Setting advertising agency workflow

Unlike other systems which force you to set your company business process according to the industry best practices, VIP Task Manager allows to set your advertising agency workflow the way which makes your company competitive. You can group tasks which belong to certain department, client, advertising campaign, etc. For example, you may prefer to set the following structure:

• Existing Clients
• Client 1
• Advertising Campaign 1
• Task 1
• Task 2

Each service your advertising agency provides should be worked out in details. If you know that certain business process requires step 1, step 2, step 3, etc. it helps you to save time on typical orders. VIP Task Manager allows you to automate your business processes by creating and duplicating the templates for each service you provide. For instance, you offer your clients such an option like creating a product catalogue. You know that project is usually broken into the following tasks:

1. Discussing the requirements to catalogue with the client
2. Getting the products description from the client
3. Making picture of client's products
4. Creating a draft design of the catalogue
5. Getting the client's approval for the draft design

And so on. You know who can be assigned to each task, how much time each task usually takes, etc. so you can create a template "Products Catalogue" and when agreed advertising campaign includes publishing a product catalogue you copy the template to the marketing plan in one click.

Various business processes within your advertising agency may require different set of statuses for their tasks. Some tasks may need approval from a senior manager and can not be considered "100% completed" until senior manager verifies the tasks. Other tasks need a set of statuses which follow strictly one after another. VIP Task Manager lets you set as many workflow types as you need and assign them to certain templates so statuses of tasks for making products catalogue can be different from outdoor advertising activities.
