BrandOcean
Tracking time and costs
BrandOcean is a simple way to keep on top of approvals, costs and project status. You get the information when you need it, and so does your client.
Workflow information in the right place at the right time
BrandOcean's browser-based estimates, orders, expenses and timesheets are easy to use and they update your project immediately. With the data held centrally, traffic and production, account management and finance can all share it. The result is fewer write-offs and better managed WIP.
Enhanced control and accountability
BrandOcean simplifies financial control by capturing information in a single system in real time, ensuring accurate billing. You can review client accounts, staff time, production job status, cashflow and agency financials. BrandOcean integrates with global accounting and consolidation systems. It makes corporate sense in other ways too: As your business grows and develops, BrandOcean changes with you, at no extra cost.
