awork brings structure to your day-to-day agency work, from the initial project idea right through to the final report. You can manage multiple projects at once, set milestones, assign tasks and track progress in real time.
Key benefits:
- Multi-project timeline for a complete overview
- Pre-built templates and repeatable and automated tasks
- Custom filters for efficient project meetings
- Real-time progress tracking and status updates
The key difference from generic tools: in awork, time tracking is directly linked to project budgets. Project managers can see in real time whether a project is running profitably β not just at the final debrief. awork AI also supports planning: from the briefing right through to automatic project documentation.
βWeβre working on 270 active projects. With awork, we still manage to keep track of everything.β

Unlike Asana (which has no native time-tracking feature) or Monday.com (where time-tracking is not linked to budgets), hours logged in awork are automatically linked to project budgets, capacity utilisation and billability. Capacity planning is based on actual available hours β not on the number of tasks.
awork makes time tracking easy and precise. Via manual entry, start&stop timer or calendar sync. Logged hours can be analysed in detailed reports and exported to invoiving tools like MOCO, sevDesk or lexoffice.
Resource planning is just as powerful:
- Clear visibility of team workloads an availability
- Person- and team-level planning with calendar views
- Avoid overbooking and spot bottlenecks early
- Plan realistically and maintain balance
Tip:Β Discover how successful agencies plan projects
awork Connect enables seamless collaboration with clients, freelancers and partners, securely and entirely free of charge.
With tools such as Asana or Monday.com, external users incur their own licence fees, or collaboration is limited to feedback views. awork Connect enables full-scale project collaboration β free of charge, with granular access control.
Key features:
- Assign tasks and share progress updates
- Collect feedback directly in the project
- Control visibility and permissions individually
- Store documents, notes and project knowledge in one place
This reduces email overload and enables real teamwork across company boundaries.

When buying agency software, you should pay attention to the following aspects:
β
- Functionality: make sure that the software covers project management, resource planning and other specific requirements of your advertising agency.
β - User-friendliness: the interface should be intuitive to enable quick familiarization.
β - Customizability: Make sure the software is adaptable to your specific processes and structures.
Simply adapt your project management to the unique needs and workflows of your agency. Create custom automations of repetitive tasks such as campaign planning or reporting. Use specially defined project and task statuses to monitor your agency project management perfectly. You can also create templates for entire projects so that you have all the to-dos for creating a pitch in just one click. This saves you a lot of time on a day-to-day basis and frees up your creative time.
β - Integration: Check whether the software can be integrated into your existing tool stock.
awork offers seamless integrations with popular tools such as Slack, MS Teams, Google Calendar, Personio and billing tools such as MOCO, sevDesk, lexoffice, easybill and more. So you can optimize the workflows in your agency and centralize your project management processes.
β - Scalability: The software should be able to grow with your agency. awork is designed for agencies just starting to large companies (500+ employees). Even if your agency grows, awork easily grows with it.
β - Support and training: Good customer support and training offers are crucial for effective use. We believe that personal support is worth a thousand times more than a chatbot. That's why our support employees are there for you on weekdays from 09:00 - 18:00.
β - Costs: Compare prices and watch out for hidden costs when purchasing the management software.
β - Security: Your agency's data, as well as that of your customers, should be protected according to tested guidelines. awork is fully GDPR-compliant. We store awork's data in the most modern data centers in Germany. Apart from you - and if necessary for support - our techies, no one else has access to your data. This is ensured, among other things, by the constant encryption of our data.
awork ticks all of these boxes, with personal support, fast onboarding and an inerface your team will actually enjoy using.
