Maximise the efficiency of your project management with Handshakeproductions
Managing projects is not easy at all, and anyone who works with it knows that very well. There are many clients to look after and a lot of information to handle, and it can be a challenge to find the best way to publish everything that matters about a project — especially when the content is spread across spreadsheets, calendars and drives. Colina Tech faced that challenge and decided to share with us some of the problems they ran into until they found the solution.
The challenges Colina Tech faced before finding Handshakeproductions
Founded in 2018, Colina Tech started out as a software house with a couple of dozen clients on the books. In 2019, after going through the Natal Central technology incubator (ITNC), the team moved into inbound marketing and took off with RD Station's Newcomer Agency of the Year award.
From then on, following the agency's own motto, it was a straight climb to the top.
Growth brings its own problems
In time Colina Tech became one of the largest agencies in the north-east according to RD Station, winning clients in more than eleven states of the country. And, of course, great achievements come with great challenges.
As it grew, Colina ran into repeated difficulties pointing clients at the different links that mattered in their projects. The routine of an agency involves a lot of moving parts, from approving topics and content through to campaigns and results reports.
Organising that — and reaching important information quickly — was complicated and ate a lot of time, which got in the way of the team's productivity.
How Handshakeproductions improved Colina Tech's project management
Luís Henrique de Carvalho says that both the client experience and project management became much better and much more efficient with Handshakeproductions.
“We can add multiple links in one place, which gives every client a smooth, focused way to navigate. Each project has its own specific links, so management is more effective and the relevant information is easy to reach.”
A friendly interface, one link per project
He also points out how the friendly interface makes it easy to create and organise links, and to customise each one so it is unique to its project.
On top of all that, the advanced editing and management features were another thing that helped Colina Tech get more out of every hour the team puts in.
Turning challenges into results
Where there used to be the confusion of sending different links for different parts of a project, Colina Tech now centralises the information of a project behind a single link, which makes sharing and collaboration between the team and the client far easier.
“We recommend it to every company that wants to raise its efficiency in project management and point clients in the right direction. No matter the size or the sector of your company, a complete and powerful platform will certainly make a difference to your project management strategy.”
Whether you have 5 links or 50
It does not matter how many links you have to share — Handshakeproductions keeps them organised and presents them in a way that is pleasant to look at and efficient to use. Show your clients that you are professional, and stand out by giving them a personalised, intuitive and fast experience.
Try Handshakeproductions and raise the efficiency of your project management
The routine of an agency is a busy one, and interacting with clients can become a problem without the right tools. Every project demands its own rhythm, its own stages, documents and processes.
It is often hard to find the best way to give a client everything they need to open during a project. Contracts, images awaiting approval, campaign assets, content to review — those files usually live in different drives, behind different links. The more links there are, the harder it gets for the client to reach the information they need, and the more work it creates for a team that has to hunt for one link among a million every time somebody cannot find a file.
With our tool you can centralise in one place every link your client opens day to day, which makes the rhythm of the project far easier and the navigation fluid.
Handshakeproductions also helps the productivity of your own team, who no longer have to go through file after file to find what a client needs, because all of it sits behind a single link.
