Frequently Asked Questions
What problems does Operating actually solve for my team?
Operating makes it easy to see who’s available, what skills your consultants have, and which projects are coming up. You don’t have to chase people for updates or wonder who is sitting idle. Everything is shown in real time, so you don’t lose money to unplanned bench time or miss revenue because you didn’t know someone was free.
How is Operating different from a big spreadsheet or project tool?
With Operating, you get one clear view of everyone’s schedule and skills. You can search by skill (like “AWS”) and the app suggests the best fit for each project. Spreadsheets get messy and outdated fast, and most project tools can’t show who’s free or if a project will actually make money. Operating does all that for you.
Will my team learn how to use Operating quickly?
Yes! If you can read a timeline and use search, you’ll feel at home in Operating. Most teams switch from spreadsheets in just a few days without any confusion. We also have easy guides and helpful onboarding, so you’re never stuck.
Can I see which consultants are about to become free next week?
Absolutely. Operating gives you a timeline for every consultant, so you can spot who will finish a project, who has gaps coming up, and who’s sitting on the bench. This helps you fill spots faster and keeps everyone busy.
How does Operating help with profitability?
Operating tracks what each project will bring in and what it will cost you. You plug in rates and salaries, and the app shows whether projects will make or lose money—before you even start. No more guesswork or surprise losses at the end of the month.
Does Operating help me connect project planning with my sales pipeline?
Yes. You can sync Operating with your CRM so you always know which deals might close, and who you could assign if they do. This means you can plan ahead, avoid last-minute scrambles, and keep your bench as small as possible.
