OUR INTERNAL SYSTEMS//

We use multiple different applications and tools to help manage our creative processes. Here is a breakdown of those applications and who/ who does not have access to these tools.

FOR OUR DESIGN PROCESS//

We have two separate tools to help us handle clients: 1) Internally & 2) Externally

1. Basecamp - Internal Communication/Project Managment

2. Honeybook - External Communication/Project Managment

If you need to communicate with a team member within Visual Edge, use Basecamp. If you need to communicate with a client, use HoneyBook.

Basecamp - will handle our internal communication like specific project details, to-do lists, file sharing, and scheduling.

HoneyBook - will handle our external communication with clients, such as sending contracts to clients, sending invoices to clients, and communicating designs to clients.

A couple of other things to note:

• For now, Basecamp projects will be shared with generally everyone in the company (a benefit of being small). HoneyBook projects will not have everyone on the specific project, but you should be able to access all projects under the "Projects" page.

• Basecamp is to be used to schedule all events internally. 

  • Have a meeting about a project, add it to the project's calendar

  • Have a meeting about company stuff, schedule it in GoogleMeet and add it to the team's calendar 

• Honeybook is to be used to handle all contracts and invoicing

• Honeybook is to be used to handle client/business contact information

  • Have a client/company that we work with consistently, add it to HoneyBook
