Plenty of tools tried, none that covered the whole business
Low Poly is a small studio that blends graphic design, animation and illustration. Franco Garcia Quevedo is both its Executive Director and its Creative Director, so alongside the creative work he needs to know what's happening in every area of the business.
Before choosing Avaza, the studio worked through six other tools, and none of them fit. What it needed:
- Projects and business in one: None of the tools it tried offered full functionality for both project management and business management.
- One tool, not several: The studio didn't want to use multiple pieces of software to get all the functionality it needed.
- Visibility across every area: As both Executive and Creative Director, Franco needs to know what's happening across the whole studio.
“We had tried a lot of other software solutions, such as Cushion, ActiveCollab, Paymo, Trello, Asana and Thrive, and found nothing that fit our needs.”
Project management and business management in one system
Features Low Poly uses
- Project management
- Online invoicing
- Reporting
- Cloud and mobile apps
What set Avaza apart for Low Poly was coverage. None of the software the studio had used before had full functionality for both project management and business management. Avaza has everything a business needs in one place, which is why the team chose it.
How Low Poly works in Avaza
- Professional invoices: Invoices are easy to create and look very professional, and clients have asked Franco which software he uses for invoicing.
- Reports on project performance: Reports let him track how projects are performing and make changes as needed.
- Data in the cloud: With all the studio's data in the cloud, he can work from anywhere.
- Mobile apps for the road: Avaza's mobile apps make it easy to run the business while travelling.
“I feel like Avaza is changing the way I run my business completely. It allows me to organize everything in one place.”
Invoices clients ask about, and one place to run the studio
The difference showed from the very first invoice Low Poly sent from Avaza.
“When I sent my first online invoice using Avaza, my customer told me that it was awesome and asked me about the software I had used. Avaza is a great solution for business owners who want to take the pain out of simple business processes and don't want to use multiple software to get all the functionality they need.”
Day to day, Franco can see what's happening in every area of the studio from one system, whether he is in the studio or travelling. Apart from a little Slack for chat, he doesn't need any other software to run the business.
