Pre-Configured Project/Resource Management, Client Accounting, Finance and Human Resource Solutions

    We know your company spends a lot of time and resources maintaining your client's expectations. Without project management software, it can be difficult to grow or bring on new accounts. Client information needs to be effectively indexed and filed to ensure that your team has access to the right people to get their job done. Mismanagement of this vital information not only delays productivity, but can also risk the loss of major clients and an overall impression of an unprofessionally run business.

    Our ad agency solution (through partnerships with Tier-1 ERP Vendors such as SAP, Oracle and Microsoft) provides you with an easy and effective way to keep client project information organized and at your fingertips. Information is streamlined, and at the touch of a button you can track past projects, resources and freelancers used on specific projects, and, very importantly, invoicing history to help determine effective accounting and Revenue Recognition strategies for all your ongoing endeavors.

    In addition to keeping clients for each project well organized, it is also important for all research and other relevant information to be accessible and easy to find. Advertising projects require teamwork among several professionals, and it is vital that they all have the relevant information they need to get their jobs done right.

    Finally, no software solution is a true solution unless it is affordable. Even the biggest businesses have budget constraints and no business can survive if it makes unwise investments. At Premier we strive to provide the best quality for the best value to our customers. We are here to improve your bottom line, not put stress on it.

    We've designed ad agency project management software along with the critical Finance, Supply Chain and Human Resource Back-Office Functions that is made to last and adapt to the ever changing needs of your business. Whether you are a small business just starting out or a big budget international firm, Premier has the right product at the right price for you.
