Professional Services & Project Profitability

Time & billing, project profitability, WIP tracking, and utilisation analytics — built for the margin pressures of professional services.

Industry Challenges

Pain Points We Solve

Time & Billing Leakage

Unbilled time, write-offs, and delayed invoicing erode margins. Manual timesheet consolidation means revenue leaks go undetected for weeks.

WIP Visibility Gaps

Work-in-progress balances across engagements are opaque. Partners lack real-time visibility into which projects are profitable and which are burning.

Utilisation Blind Spots

Billable vs. non-billable time, bench costs, and resource allocation tracked in disconnected systems. Capacity planning is guesswork.

Revenue Recognition Complexity

Percentage-of-completion, milestone-based, and fixed-fee arrangements each with unique ASC 606 requirements. Manual calculations are error-prone.
