CHALLENGES:
Fragmented systems created chaos and wasted valuable time
Before Workamajig, Bachman Brand Development relied on a fragmented set of programs. Time tracking was handled in one tool, accounting in another, and account management in a third. This created chaos and unnecessary work, making it hard to manage the agency efficiently. Bill Bachman recalls that this fragmentation made implementing change difficult and slowed the company’s ability to improve day-to-day operations.

One unified system bringing all agency functions together
Workamajig provided a single platform that all team members could access and interact with daily. By consolidating accounting, time tracking, and account management, the agency could manage projects, staff, and finances seamlessly. The software’s agency-specific design enabled Bachman Brand Development to plug in quickly and see immediate operational improvements, making both internal workflows and client-facing processes smoother.
RESULTS:
Major time savings and measurable efficiency gains
With Workamajig, the agency saved 8–10 hours per week for Bill Bachman alone, translating into invaluable time. The software improved efficiency across the company, enabling faster decision-making and more streamlined operations. Bill recommends Workamajig to other agency owners, emphasizing that its ability to unify processes and improve efficiency is “immense” compared to their previous setup.

TRANSCRIPT
Partnering with Workamajig was 100% the right decision for our team. My name is Bill Bachmann. I'm the owner and founder of Bachmann Brand Development. We are a graphic design firm that focuses on consumer package goods. Anything that you see in the grocery store, the packaging on the outside, we design the graphics for those.
Workamajig is our one source of truth program that we all touch and we all interact with every day, from account management to time tracking to accounting. So it really brings all the functions of our agency together and helps us create a more seamless way of doing business internally and externally as well. Before Workamajig, I was using a very fragmented set of programs.
So multiple programs to do what I'm doing now in Workamajig. So time tracking would be in one program, accounting was in another program, and account management was in a different program. And so it created a little bit of chaos and a whole lot of work for me. After we deployed Workamajig, it really saved probably about 8 to 10 hours a week for me personally.
And time is invaluable. I don't think that we would have been able to change and create change as quickly as we could with another program. The program is very specifically developed for an agency setup like ours. And so we were able to plug into what Workamajig could offer and immediately make a change and immediately make impact what we were doing on a day-to-day basis.
I have recommended Workamajig to a bunch of people and I've talked to a bunch of other agency owners about Workamajig already. Workamajig helps us with the efficiency of our agency and that's really immeasurable. It's immense compared to what we were doing before.
