Trusted by ambitious
high-growth technical teams
The board looks at last month's numbers to steer the next quarter
Most services leaders manage on numbers that are already history. Operating derives utilization, margin and forecast from your allocations and timesheets in real time, so you can discuss the business with an up-to-date, forward-looking view.
Utilization, current
Billable, non-billable and internal time separated, by person, team and grade.
Profitability, real time
Forward-looking profitability per project, client and geography.
Forecast with pipeline
Committed work plus weighted opportunities against the capacity you have.
Stop managing on last quarter
Every number is derived from the project data, so the gap between what happened and what you can see closes to days.
Utilization trends by team, office and grade
Revenue and margin by client and practice
Accurate numbers based on last month-end close
Visibility into portfolio-level numbers






See the capacity problem early
