WorkflowMax releases innovative time-tracking Adobe Extension for creative agencies

WorkflowMax – job, time and invoice management software for advertising, web design and creative agencies – has launched WorkflowMax Timer, an innovative, flexible and reliable Adobe Extension that replaces disruptive time tracking and timesheet approaches, allowing creative people to focus on the job of being creative.

An Adobe Extension is a piece of software that is added to an Adobe application (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, etc.) to enhance its capabilities. The extension is now available and free to download from Adobe Exchange.

“Time tracking is a not one of the favorite tasks for creative professionals, as it tends to break the thought process and the workflow required to come up with innovative concept,” says WorkflowMax co-founder Gavin George.

“A huge amount of focused brain power is required to create. As a time tracking solution, the last thing we want to be doing is impacting upon the creative process. We want to make it really easy for creative professionals to track their time within their existing creative workspace. The new extension seamlessly integrates with Adobe and will sit within Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign, allowing designers to track their time, while staying in their creative zone.”

Brett Hancock, Managing Director of leading Auckland-based web design agency Born Digital says, “Most of our designers are not great at tracking time, and it’s not ideal for me to chase them around on Monday mornings. So the idea of having something embedded into the software they are using – Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. – makes it extremely accessible for designers since they don’t have to switch to a web browser to capture their time, but, more importantly, it’s great for me as it leads to accurate time tracking, billing and critical business insights.”

Thousands of advertising, web design and creative agencies across the world use WorkflowMax to manage their end-to-end workflow – from capturing leads and sending quotes to managing projects and sending invoices. To complement its powerful functionality, WorkflowMax is leveraging Xero’s world-leading internal design team to release a brand new, customer intuitive user interface later this year.
