From Work Sprawl to Clarity: How Ovative Group Scaled Smarter with ClickUp

Ovative’s challenge wasn’t a lack of talent or drive. It was the friction of scattered systems. Teams relied on email, spreadsheets, and standalone software. As a result, employees spent hours toggling between tools, hunting down updates, and duplicating efforts.

As Ovative scaled, this sprawl only grew. Project visibility dropped, delays crept in, and repetitive manual workflows drained productivity. Leaders lacked real-time insight into performance, and onboarding new team members became a heavier lift.

Ovative turned to ClickUp with a clear goal: centralize operations in a single, secure hub.

“We knew we needed something better—something that could bring everything together in one place. That’s when we found ClickUp,” Scott explained.

With ClickUp, Ovative consolidated their fragmented ecosystem into one converged AI workspace, reducing tool fatigue and subscription costs while giving teams a unified place to work.

Real-time visibility and alignment

ClickUp’s customizable dashboards became a daily touchpoint for Ovative’s leaders and teams. Executives could see project health at a glance, while team leads tracked workloads, bottlenecks, and progress in real time.

“The dashboards give us a clear view of what’s happening across all our projects,” Scott said.

By eliminating context sprawl, everyone from strategists to executives operated from the same source of truth. This visibility fostered alignment, sped up decision-making, and kept client projects on track.

Automating away process sprawl

Before ClickUp, repetitive tasks consumed too much of Ovative’s day. Teams spent time on manual status updates, follow-ups, and administrative work.

ClickUp’s AI-powered automation ended that. Routine workflows—from task assignments to notifications—now run automatically, saving teams 20+ minutes per task and reducing human error.

“The automation features have saved us so much time by cutting out repetitive tasks,” Scott noted.

Secure and scalable foundation

Scott’s focus went beyond efficiency; protecting sensitive data was critical to his team’s success.

ClickUp’s impact on Ovative was immediate and enduring.

Efficiency gains: Teams reclaimed hours each week, achieving a 30% increase in efficiency

Time saved: Automations and streamlined workflows freed up valuable time for strategy and innovation

Stronger alignment: Dashboards provided daily visibility, reducing miscommunication and missed deadlines

Improved quality: 50% reduced errors in the ad build process, resulting in better digital ad performance for their clients

Looking ahead, Ovative plans to deepen its use of ClickUp’s AI and automation capabilities, further reducing manual overhead and empowering teams with even more contextual intelligence.
