In the fast-paced world of advertising agencies, campaigns and projects are not just temporary tasks—they are the core of operations. Centralizing all the information and activities related to a project within an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system not only improves efficiency but also ensures comprehensive and organized management. Discover how your agency can revolutionize its operations by adopting this approach!
1. Projects as the Central Unit of Measurement
A project is more than just a collection of tasks; it’s a unique container that consolidates all key information:
- Requests and completed tasks.
- Time spent by the team.
- Administrative, communicative, and financial processes.
Associated costs, both direct and indirect.
With everything centralized, any ERP user can access complete historical records: from the people involved to the costs and completed stages.
2. Complete Transparency for Clients and the Agency
A well-designed ERP documents each project phase clearly, ensuring clients receive a final product that reflects:
- A planned and structured workflow.
- Clearly defined stages.
- Detailed and organized results.
This not only enhances client relationships but also streamlines internal communication between teams, suppliers, and employees.
3. Comprehensive Historical Records: A Strategic Goldmine
Access to the full history of each project provides a strategic advantage:
- Understand internal processes. Who worked on the project and how much time was invested?
- Supplier management. What services were contracted and at what cost?
- Clear billing. For both suppliers and the final client.
- Content and asset control. All project-related materials (narratives, media plans, invoices) are organized.
4. Maximizing Profitability
With an ERP, project profitability is no longer a mystery. You can include indirect costs such as:
- Transportation or taxi expenses linked to the project.
- Meals for employees working outside regular hours.
- Travel or other expenses not budgeted by the client.
This allows you to calculate the precise profitability of each campaign, client, and even the agency as a whole, helping you make informed financial decisions.
5. Beyond Organization: A Winning Strategy
A modern ERP system does more than organize—it empowers you to:
- Evaluate creative and financial strategies.
- Simplify complex administrative processes.
- Ensure deadlines and budgets are met.
