Anagram is a brand studio providing design, website, animation, and branding services. Since 2014, the talented team has worked with companies across industries. We spoke with their founder, Emmanuel, about how Bonsai helps them run a profitable business.
For the past seven years, Anagram has relied on Bonsai to streamline operations and scale their team from a solo operation to a thriving team of 15.
They manage all their projects from Bonsai's platform — from project progress to tracking time and budgets. The intuitive interface has made onboarding teammates straightforward and efficient over the years.
Transparency is especially important in Anagram's fully remote setting. As the team grew, accurate time tracking was crucial to successfully managing multiple projects.
With Bonsai's timesheets, the team tracks and logs where their time is spent every day, allowing Emmanuel to see exactly how team members allocate their hours across various projects.
With the entire team tracking hours in Bonsai, Emmanuel gets real-time insights into project costs. This clarity keeps projects within budget, and allows Emmanuel and the team to address financial discrepancies promptly.
Conversations with clients about how much of the project budget has been used up can be sensitive. It can also take time to go through the project's history to understand what was done, what's remaining, and then report back to clients.
With Bonsai, Emmanuel can tell clients when they risk going overtime before it happens, and it takes him a minute to get back to them when they have questions about the budget.
