Ad Agency Software Electronic Job Jacket

Paper can be our worst enemy in a busy advertising, pr and creative agency.  "I thought that Mary had that Job Ticket...I met with her yesterday and she left with it in her stack of papers!"  We've seen and heard that situation many times.

Advantage Software works the way you work.  Teams of people working together on several projects needed a single resource for accessing centralized data for each project.  We invented the Electronic Job Jacket to meet the needs of all team members...conveniently from your desktop or mobile device!

The Electronic Job Jacket works just like you work...but without paper!  You can easily and conveniently tie together all of the aspects of one of your client's projects:
  • Job templates - easy to replicate similar jobs for the same client
  • Alerts and documents - easily upload and attach documents and email communcations
  • Creative brief - it's easily accessible from the electronic job jacket
  • Job specifications - everybody can see every project job spec list
  • Work orders and change orders - everything is conveniently found in one place
  • Project schedule - easily assign, track and complete your tasks for each project
  • Purchase orders - never lose paper again!
