Projectal gets your team on the same page, working off the same real-time data to deliver your projects on time and on budget.
Accurate bids are critical, but bidding spreadsheets rely heavily on guesswork and magic formulas. Two bidding producers will typically produce two different estimates and will rarely incorporate actual numbers from previous projects. This causes a studio enormous financial pain during the production and delivery phases of a project.
Projects today are based on cost-plus pricing. When projects and employees are not managed effectively within a studio, profit margins can quickly dwindle. In most cases, inefficiencies in project and staff management are caused by the use of off-the-shelf software or cumbersome homegrown tools.
Studio management teams lack visibility and tools to determine which employees are best suited for current and future projects and tasks. This results in under-allocation, over-allocation, and poor planning of a studio's staff pool.
With no single source of trustworthy project and staff data, studios often find themselves in recurring daily and weekly meetings to make sure tasks are kept on track. This directly affects productivity, leading to team friction and mistakes.
