Case Study: Automated Publishing Services (APS) achieves streamlined, scalable project management and real-time workload visibility with Wrike

Remote Working – Selecting the Project Management Tool That Will Work Best for You

Automated Publishing Services (APS), a Cape Town–based publishing services firm, faced chaotic project management using spreadsheets and email—making it hard to track start/end dates, task ownership, approvals and team capacity as work volumes grew. With multiple types of projects (sales pipeline, contracts, marketing, development) and a distributed team, APS needed a structured, scalable PM solution.

They trialed Asana and Trello, then adopted Wrike, a highly configurable platform offering workload calendars, custom reports and budget alerts, built‑in approvals and deep Adobe and third‑party integrations. Wrike centralized projects, improved visibility and approvals, prevented budget overruns and scaled into a company‑wide help desk and CRM—becoming APS’s primary system for managing all work.
