Leah Plaxton Libra Research

Background
Libra Research is a small media strategy
business led by Leah Plaxton of Hamilton,
Ontario. The firm provides research and web
analytics consulting services for a range of
clients.

Challenge
Earlier this year Libra was engaged with three
particularly demanding clients each with
differing task and time-tracking requirements.
Leah knew she needed to meet each client's
specific criteria but wanted a single system to
help her achieve this so she could remain as
efficient and productive as possible.

Solution
An associate told Leah about Projjex and after
researching the service and a handful of
alternatives she signed up for a free trial at
projjex.com.

Her biggest client, an international media
company, wanted very detailed task and time
tracking: by person, department, data source
and frequency. The tagging feature in Projjex
was perfect, allowing Leah to categorize and
sort tasks and to export time data into excel
subtotaled by department at month's end.

Another client, an online marketing agency,
needed only a summary of tasks on the invoice
and a time sheet. Leah uses the Billing Advice
and PDF reports features in Projjex to provide
them with the time sheet detail they required.

Leah employs a number of subcontractors
when working with certain clients. Projjex
enables her to provide these clients detailed
time and billing reports for herself as well as
for her subcontractors. She then exports the
Costing advice and Profitability reports to Excel
to determine the total amount payable to each
of her subcontractors and her net return.
