Case Study: Cromatic Studios achieves a 25% productivity boost with Paymo

Cromatic Studios Boosts Team Productivity by 25% With Paymo

Cromatic Studios, a 14‑person design and tech studio in Bucharest, Romania, struggled to manage growth as it scaled to about 20 projects per month. With missed deadlines, poor workload forecasting and unreliable time tracking after trying Trello and FunctionFox, the team searched for a project management tool and chose Paymo, using features like Task Management, Time Reports and the Leave Planner.

Paymo was configured to reflect Cromatic’s workflows, clients and project types, and adoption was accelerated by a gamified rollout; the team now uses My Tasks, Project Overview and User Overview daily alongside Time Reports. As a result, Cromatic improved time tracking and workload balance, enabled better cash‑flow and KPI visibility, and estimates a 25–30% increase in productivity and a noticeable reduction in stress since implementing Paymo.
