Punkhelsinki selects Severa 3 for project management and PSA system

Advertising agency Punkhelsinki, based in Helsinki, Finland, has selected Severa 3 system, supplied by Severa Corporation, a developer of leading project management tools for professional services automation (PSA), to ensure efficient accounting, more accurate project billing, and project management best practices.

Punkhelsinki is a new wave advertising agency. The company provides marketing and design services to companies that want to question traditional marketing and challenge their market position. Before Severa 3 implementation, Punkhelsinki didn’t have a system to monitor working hours for CRM, billing and project management. Previously, the agency had used Excel spreadsheets to enter project work time, from which information was compiled for customer billing.
