Reporting and Optimization

Make Data-Driven Decisions That Boost Productivity and Profits

After you've successfully streamlined your operations in ClickUp, we'll continue to help you leverage the full power of your newly implemented system for reporting, ongoing optimization, and strategic decision-making.

ZenPilot Reporting + Optimization

The Problem

Most Teams Put Their ClickUp Workspace on Autopilot After Implementation

You've done the hard work of streamlining your operations in ClickUp, but this is only the beginning. Don't fall into the trap of thinking the hard work is over.

A lack of monitoring, holding the team accountable, and continuing to build on your momentum can lead to your team slipping back into their old bad habits and undermining your hard work.

The Solution

We Help You Monitor, Promote, and Enforce the Habits That Drive Success and Provide Visibility

In our last phase, we'll provide the ongoing reporting, training, coaching, accountability, and support needed to drive the adoption of ClickUp across your entire team—helping you continue to build a more productive, profitable, and healthy team. 

ZenPilot optimization roadmap

Together, We’ll Iterate Toward a Gold-Standard Operation:

Operating in monthly sprints, we'll work together to build a custom optimization plan based on your unique needs and requirements:

Analyzing performance

We'll keep an eye on how your system is performing by conducting task, workspace, and team member analysis each week so you can focus on serving your clients and growing the agency.

Optimizing the system

We’ll work alongside you to prioritize issues each month that have the greatest impact on your workflow and then implement the recommendations so you can spend more time on client work.

Activating your team

We’ll train your team on the new improvements and help them develop the healthy habits they need in order to maximize the system so you can focus on keeping the company running.

Whether you need advanced reporting, more training, or automations built for your team, we'll continue to build a gold-standard operating system to help you build a more efficient and scalable business.

1. Profitability Reporting

If knowing exactly which projects, clients, and services are most profitable is important to your business, we will configure detailed reports to provide deep insights into key performance indicators like profitability, resource utilization, budget pacing, timelines, and team efficiency.

2. Team Performance Reporting and Analysis

To help hold your team accountable, we will provide detailed dashboards on how your team is performing inside ClickUp.

You'll receive weekly and monthly reports that show you how well the team is planning, assigning, and creating work—providing you with the data you need to better scope and plan projects for your clients.

Additionally, you'll get a good grasp of your leaders and laggards across the organization—helping you understand who is and who isn't developing the habits needed to reach your goals.

3. Custom automations & workflow improvements

We'll continue to work together to identify operational bottlenecks and provide you with advanced automations and workflow enhancements to ramp up team productivity—saving you time and money.

Whether it's connecting QuickBooks and ClickUp to manage invoices, or integrating HubSpot and ClickUp to pass deal data back and forth, our team can help you design and build the automations and integrations you need to 10x productivity.

Whether it's building an OOO manager, a space to manage contractors and freelancers, or getting EOS running in ClickUp, our team can help you design complex solutions in ClickUp and train your team on how to use them.

5. Continued Coaching, Training & Support

Lastly, your team will retain access to our training center, and we'll continue to provide ongoing training and education to help your team excel in their respective roles.

Our agency has tried many project management tools over the years, but when we migrated to ClickUp we finally felt like we got it right. But hiring ZenPilot to help us implement it was an even better decision -- easily the best investment we made in our agency's growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hiring ZenPilot is the best thing I've done since my time at LegalZoom.

We function so much more smoothly now. We can accommodate more projects, and our general volume of work has increased significantly. It's been an absolute game-changer.

If you're on the fence about this decision and your team needs some organizational support, do it. You won't regret it.

How long does the process take?

That depends entirely on your stated goals, but most teams will undergo a complete transformation using our 1-3-5 Formula in 5-6 months and will have recouped their investment in profit margin by 12 months.

To provide a more thorough breakdown, you can expect the timeline to look something similar to this:

Our goal is to provide you with continuous support, ensuring that your operations remain lean, efficient, and ahead of the curve. So while a complete operational transformation can be achieved within three months, many of our most successful clients choose to extend our partnership beyond two years. Operational excellence is an ongoing endeavor, and ZenPilot is committed to guiding your agency's growth and evolution every step of the way.
What does the time investment look like when working with ZenPilot?

This all depends on the stage that your team is in.

If you're in the Blueprint phase, you should expect your implementation team to be spending 1-2 hours weekly. This time will mostly be allocated to calls with our team, but also a few assignments that we will have for your team in between calls.

If you're beyond the Blueprint phase, you should expect your implementation team to be spending 2-4 hours per week on the project. This work is grouped into a few buckets:

  • 1 hour weekly attending calls with ZenPilot
  • 30-45 minutes weekly consuming asynchronous course materials
  • 60-120 minutes weekly completing tasks related to building templates, migrating, and optimizing the workspace (depending on where in the timeline the team is)

We'd recommend batching "ZenPilot work." Our most successful clients spend one whole morning or afternoon each week dedicated to just working with ZenPilot—building processes, completing coursework, optimizing their workspace, etc.

Who is ZenPilot's ideal client?

We partner with agencies, internal marketing teams, and professional service firms that desire to improve visibility, reduce internal chaos, and get more clarity.

However, truly achieving gold-standard operations and clarity for all requires time, effort, and the willingness to buy-in, embrace, and love the process. The teams that are successful are the ones that:

  • Desire to reduce internal chaos and give team members more clarity.
  • Desire to be excellent at managing projects to deliver great client results on time and within budget.
  • Desire to improve visibility into team performance, capacity planning, and results.
  • Desire to be more systematic, process-driven, and organized.
  • And have a willingness to pay for expertise and listen to experience. They "want what works."

If you have the desire and motivation to spend the necessary time to eliminate chaos, you're a perfect fit for ZenPilot.

Do you only work with agencies?

Not exactly! We also work with in-house marketing teams (who often see themselves as an "internal agency")—one example is the marketing crew at LegalZoom.

And we work with businesses who do client work that may not necessarily see themselves as agencies, such as accounting firms.

While it's true that our expertise runs deepest in the agency space (and we have a library of 200+ plug-and-play process templates for that specific context), we have lots of advice and specific frameworks to share for any business that wants to put an end to chaotic project management and stop hopping from one PM tool to the next.

Book a free consultation with us and let's find out if we're a fit for you!

How much does it cost to work with ZenPilot?

ZenPilot employs a monthly subscription model broken into three tiers: Economy ($4,000/month), Business ($6,000/month), and First Class ($9,000/month).

Each of these subscription tiers is fully points-based and is crafted to offer unparalleled flexibility and to ensure our services align perfectly with your agency's shifting needs over time.

However, teams working with ZenPilot typically invest at least $16,000.
