Great New Workflow Management System Launches Today - TERMINL

If you’re a checklist kind of person and you want to know what you’ve already done and what’s next, then Terminl is the product for you! All of your progress is tracked and accessible from wherever you are through this new online system. This complete workflow management system is just as slick as it is useful.

Today is the first day of the official launch of the Terminl 1.0 product for managing your workflow online. This online system seems to be aimed at eliminating the need for old school systems of workflow like checklists and whiteboards that get lost and are hard to manage and scale. I’m excited about using this product to keep me on task and making sure that every one of my clients gets great service from me without things falling between the cracks.

One of the biggest ways that I see this helping me is with keeping my product ordering on time. I’ve always struggled with producing products like albums and canvas’ in a timely manner because they always end up being last on my list of priorities for some reason. I found that when I had something in front of me that shows me what I have left to do for each client, I was reminded of them more often and had better success with getting them done on time. The problem with that was that I had too many clients to keep track of on the board that I was using, and it just wasn’t feasible as my business grew.

Now that Terminl is around, I have a scalable system that I can put every single step in down to the smallest little things so I make sure I don’t miss anything.

Here’s a quick run through of the system, and I hope to give a more thorough description of how I’m implementing it once I’m further into this year’s wedding season.

STATUS BOARD

The Status board is the main viewing area where you can see the overall and single status of each client and their shoots and products. At a quick glance you can see which clients have their wedding photos completed and which have other products completed as well. You can quickly sort by couple, by event date, or by percentage of completion with a click of a button. You can see that this view is sorted by percentage of completion for the wedding photos.

MANAGE BOARDS

In the manage boards area you can add shoots and products and then customize their workflows below. With simple add and delete buttons you can create a seamless workflow that every client can have added to their individual progress boards.

TASK VIEW

There is also a view where you can see which clients are at a certain stage for any particular shoot or product. I see this as a very useful way to manage things like album orders because you can quickly see which clients are behind in their album ordering process, and which ones are ready to order so you can order together to save on shipping.

METRICS

The metrics page looks amazing and seems like it could be have some very useful information for times of looking back on the success of certain products and sessions over the year. I think there is a lot of potential with this view, and we’ve just seen the surface scratched with version 1.0.

TRY IT OUT

Terminl has setup a great system to allow you to try out the product by giving you the first 5 clients for free with unlimited products and shoots for your workflow. I would urge you to set aside some time so you can properly set it up from the beginning so that it’s easy to later put in clients’ names and let the magic of the program really work in your favor.

I've heard from the developers that mobile support is on it's way, as well as a few more exciting features like non-sequential workflows, and alarms...so keep your eyes out for this product to just get better and better!
