ERP for Professional Services
Service businesses sell time. Margin depends on recording it accurately, billing it promptly, and knowing utilisation before the quarter ends.
What we hear
The problems that bring people here
Time recorded late
Timesheets completed from memory at the end of the week.
Unbilled work
Recorded time that never reaches an invoice.
Utilisation unknown
Chargeable ratio calculated after the period it describes.
Scope creep unbilled
Additional work delivered without a variation.
The approach
How the system handles them
Time against an engagement
Booked to a client, project and task as it happens.
Billing from recorded time
Invoices raised from timesheets rather than reconstructed.
Utilisation reported live
Chargeable against available, by person and team.
Variations recorded
Additional scope raised as a billable change.
What the day-to-day looks like
The sequences that change most when the work moves onto one system.
Engagement to invoice
- Engagement set up with rates and budget
- Time and expenses recorded against tasks
- Work reviewed and approved for billing
- Invoice raised and posted
- Utilisation and recovery reported
