Built for any professional services team that schedules and delivers client work

Resourcing, time tracking and project financials in one, for professional services teams of different types

People, projects and budgets in one tool
Time tracking that feeds financials directly
Reporting that finance and delivery both accept
Operating built for any team that delivers client work —

The same problem, under a dozen different names

Engineering services, procurement advisory, architecture practices, in-house professional services teams inside a software company: the labels differ, the operating problem does not. Who is available, what are they working on, and is the project making money.

One place to run the firm

People, projects, budgets and hours in one place.

Supply and demand

Know when you can start projects, and when to hire new team members

Reporting both sides trust

Delivery and finance read the same records, so the numbers stop being negotiable.

Model your services delivery without compromises

The generic project management tooling the rest of your firm doesn't support professional services workflows. Operating brings timesheets, resourcing and project financials in one.

Visibility to new engagements and ones that are about to end

Easily find the right team composition for the next project

Team leads don't have to scramble with disconnected spreadsheets

One place for the whole delivery team to view utilization

Operating model your firm as it actually works — Client work, internal projects, billing types, roles, and teams easily configured.Star map with constellations connected by thin white lines on a dark blue background.Vintage-style star map with black dots connected by lines showing constellations on beige background.Blue background with scattered white spots resembling paint splatters or stars.Blue-gray background with scattered small white spots resembling a starry night sky.Gray background with scattered white spots resembling paint splatters or stars.

Run the delivery loop

Plan, log, compare, correct: the loop that keeps projects on budget, without a weekly data-gathering exercise.

Allocations visible on people's timesheets

Planned versus actual hours and cost

Project health visible at a glance

Timesheet submissions and approvals

Connect it to everything else

Operating is designed to sit inside an existing stack rather than replace it.

CRM integrations for pipeline and deals

HRIS integration for people data

Accounting integrations for invoices and ledger

MCP Server and REST API for AI assistants and custom work

Operating connect the rest of your stack — Operating is built to fit into the tools you already run. Off-the-shelf connectors cover common CRMs; the REST API covers everything else — push data Star map with constellations connected by thin white lines on a dark blue background.Vintage-style star map with black dots connected by lines showing constellations on beige background.Blue background with scattered white spots resembling paint splatters or stars.Blue-gray background with scattered small white spots resembling a starry night sky.Gray background with scattered white spots resembling paint splatters or stars.
