Software for the Consultancy Industry

Custom consultancy software: from project management to time tracking and knowledge management. Increase margins and scalability with smart tools.

Consultancy firms run on knowledge, people, and time. The difference between a profitable and a loss-making project often comes down to the accuracy of time tracking, the efficiency of resource planning, and the ability to reuse knowledge. Yet many consulting firms still rely on generic tools not designed for the complexity of consultancy work. Custom software empowers firms to monitor project margins in real time, optimally deploy consultants, and capture accumulated knowledge as business capital.

Pain points

  • Inaccurate time tracking leading to under-billing and margin leakage on projects
  • Inefficient resource planning causing consultants to be under-utilised or over-allocated
  • Knowledge drain when senior consultants leave without their expertise being documented
  • Lack of real-time insight into project margins, budget consumption, and profitability
  • Fragmented tools for time tracking, expenses, planning, and client communication

Our solutions

  • Project management platform with real-time margin tracking, budget monitoring, and phase control
  • Intelligent time tracking with automatic suggestions, approval workflows, and invoice export
  • Resource planning with skills matching, availability overview, and utilisation dashboards
  • Knowledge management system with searchable project files, templates, and best practices
  • Client portals with project progress, reports, and document sharing

Benefits

  • Up to 15% higher project margins through accurate time tracking and real-time budget monitoring
  • Higher consultant utilisation rates through intelligent resource planning and skills matching
  • Retention of company knowledge through structured knowledge management and onboarding tools
  • Faster invoicing cycle through automated hours-to-invoice workflows
