Hello, and welcome to our first Planeolo blog post! My name is Jeff Galea, founder of Planeolo. In this post, I’m excited to show you how Planeolo transforms project management for the creative industry. Our goal is to give project managers back valuable hours each day.

The Importance of Using the Right Tools

You’ve likely heard the saying, “Use the right tools for the job.” This advice is essential for every industry, including the creative sector. I’ve been working in this field for the past 14 years. During that time, I’ve noticed a recurring theme: project managers in various studios, including my agency, face the same frustrations time and time again. These challenges include endless revision rounds, delayed feedback, scope creep, and repetitive mundane tasks.

How Planeolo Enhances Efficiency

After years of research and firsthand experience, we identified that these everyday struggles are often seen as just “part of the job.” Unfortunately, they are frequently tackled with tools not designed to address them effectively. We wanted to change that by creating a more transparent and efficient production process between agencies and clients. And this is precisely what Planeolo solves!

With insights from our team and external agencies, we mapped out a solution to these issues. This led to the creation of Planeolo, a web-based client management portal specifically designed for the creative industry. Planeolo reduces repetitive tasks by over 50%, minimizes revision rounds, streamlines communication, and uncovers wasted resources during projects.

Let’s consider a simple repetitive task: sending a new review to a client. Typically, a project manager would use their preferred project management tool. Then, they’d rely on several other siloed tools to prepare the work in progress for client review. Next, they’d write an email and send it. On average, this process takes 14 clicks and 5 to 7 minutes. That’s a significant amount of time, especially when managing multiple projects for multiple clients.

With Planeolo, you only need one tool and less than 2 minutes.

Comparison - Planeolo VS conventional way

At this point, you might be asking, who is this for? We have identified more than 8000 creative agencies and studios in the US alone, with four project managers on average. The majority still work in a conventional manner and our goal for the first two years is to capture 10% of this market.
