Gravitate Limited was founded in early 2001 when it was launched
by founding Directors Andrew Ferguson, John Lennard and Duncan
Watt. It has since developed into an established
provider of web development, web design and web marketing
services.
The company presently has 10 employees, including a core team of
highly skilled designers and web developers. "Our collective
experience includes websites, web applications and web marketing
campaigns across a wide range of industries. As such we are in a
position to take on projects of all sizes and levels of
complexity," explains Andrew.
"Over the last 9 years Gravitate has built up a balanced skill
set that meshes together strong design and brand development
expertise with programming and technical innovation. This puts our
company in the unique position of being able to offer a fully
tailored solution, rather than roll out a set of standard designs
with cosmetic changes," adds John.
"There are no arms-length contractors or employees. It's our
company and we personally take full accountability for the success
of every project we work on," concludes Andrew.
Managing the studio and ensuring everything gets done is Natasha
Bagley. "Prior to WorkflowMax we were using a combination of
internal workflow processes and various online applications, none
of which were working effectively or efficiently together to enable
us to track time on projects, invoice work or produce the reports
required to assess time spent on projects and actual time versus
estimated time," explains Natasha.
"Our immediate move to workflow was due to the need to urgently
replace our old internal time tracking and billing system with a
ready-made robust application that could do the same and better.
Workflow Max offers excellent time tracking functionality and
reporting functionality to match, plus the interface with Xero (our
Accounts System) was also a big plus. The new addition of the Leads
Manager just after signing up also really excited us and has proven
very useful."
"We were looking for a system that could allow us to manage all
elements of our projects from lead through to completion under one
house and it seems Workflow Max is providing the answers."
"We particularly love the new Leads Manager, the dashboard makes
it easy to see what lead needs attention and how the new business
is coming along, all in one page, making it easy to target our
energies to where they are most needed."
"Having everything in one system from quoting through to project
management through to support makes it easy for our whole team to
see where a single project is up to and take responsibility for
deadlines, budgets and ensure a quality product is provided to our
clients."
