About

Simple Admation is a marketing approval workflow, online proofing and project management platform for marketing teams, creative agencies and regulated organisations. Admation manages the full creative production process — from structured project brief to final approved asset — eliminating the email threads, shared drives and disconnected tools that cause version confusion, approval delays and compliance failures. Key features: structured brief templates, task scheduling against live resource capacity, campaign calendars, Gantt-style timelines, sequenced multi-level approval workflows, online annotation for print, digital, video and HTML, batch approvals, side-by-side revision comparison, tamper-proof audit trail, mandatory compliance checklists and workload dashboards. Used by Bupa, Spotlight, NIB, RACV, HESTA, Hollard, Woolworths, Mondelez and Tourism Australia. Standalone product by Simple Marketing Solutions (simple.io).

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Although at first I did not think this system would be suitable for our business (HR & Business Consulting), after a thorough initial consultation with their business development manager Marko, he helped us to understand how it could (and has!) save us hours in time and productivity. The ability for us to track time, allocate tasks and communicate efficiently on projects with both our internal employees and external consultants has saved significant amounts of co-ordination time and got rid of manual spreadsheets. We love the reporting function that is easy to use and lets you set it up exactly as you want rather than always have to "just make do" with standard reports. Our time spent on billing each month has also significantly reduced with easy integration with Quickbooks. My questions are always answered quickly and efficiently by the customer support team and they always find a way to achieve what you are asking for. Would highly recommend this product.
  • It has everything our company needs for project and team management. It is a very easy and intuitive tool to use and saves us a lot of time. In addition, the customer service team is fast, efficient and friendly. If you need any adaptations that can be made, they will do it.
  • A comprehensive tool that suits to track time, schedule plans, manage people in organization and keep all the financial data in one place. In our organization, it's been one of the most important tools that are adjustable for different needs e.g. C-level managers, other employees, contractors, and specialists from different departments.

Cons

  • We have struggled to find any to date. Any suggestions that we have that would make this product better are already on their "future development list".
  • Undiscovered for now! For the time being, we have not found any major shortcomings.
  • Currently, I haven't found any cons. Even if there are no features, the Productive crew helps to create customized solutions.
