Appartement 303 is a creative and graphic studio based in Metz, in the east of France. Our job is to bring a touch of creativity and dynamism to your communications. We help our clients to design their branding: logo design, print (business cards, flyers, leaflets, catalogs) as well as digital media (websites, e-commerce, mobile apps).
In the early days of our company, we were seeking an application that would manage our quotations and billings on Mac. We wanted a solution that we could use on our servers that would be accessible from all our devices. Being sensitive to Ergonomics and design, we wanted to have a simple, functional, customizable, and fun-to-use tool. Billings Pro is obviously the app for the job! As our client portfolio grew, I needed a CRM that was able to sync with Billings Pro. I immediately looked into Daylite, and was convinced after testing it out in trial mode.
I appreciate the recurring invoice feature in Billings Pro. Also the ability to customize the app to reflect our profession’s way of working.
For us, Billings Pro was first and foremost a billing software. I integrated it directly in order to manage different billing types (one shot or recurring invoices). It wasn’t long before I was handling the invoice templates!
Daylite allows me to take my notes directly in the customer sheet! No more lost post-it notes or a note left on a table! It also integrates easily with Apple Mail.
Recently, I set up workflows for my projects. As the team of Appartement 303 widens, Daylite will be used at different workstations.
These two applications have helped me make a lot of headway in my business workflow. Their ease of use and Mac OS and iOS optimization saves me time. I also appreciate the responsiveness of the support team who help me to optimize my tools. Using apps like Billings Pro and Daylite lets us focus on our real job– graphic design.
I added Daylite to my work method six months ago. I’ve set up my first workflows for some projects. I am testing them before deploying them for all my current and future projects. So far, it has been very effective!
At this time, I link tasks and notes to my clients. I’m just testing some projects and Pipelines in Daylite.
What I like is going to appointments and taking notes on either an iPad or laptop, then back at the office, creating tasks and having a full overview. When I set up Pipelines for all of our projects, it will become interesting in terms of time savings!
