The good parts of a PSA, without the bloat.

Operating is built by former consultants, managers and founders who outgrew simple time tracking tools and didn't take a bloated legacy PSA for an answer.

Operating is for professional services firms who want to manage the business behind technical client work.

You've outgrown your time tracker, but legacy PSA software scares you? We have news for you.

What makes Operating different

Operating is the system for running the business behind technical client work, built by people who have run consulting firms. It is not an issue tracker like Jira or Linear, not only a resource management tool, and not a generic work management platform. It is the central source of truth for your consulting firm, one that AI agents can query directly.

Built by tech consulting veterans for professional services teams who want to focus on delivering profitable client work

More than a simple resourcing spreadsheet so you don't have to spend months reinventing the wheel with an internal tool

Not an issue tracker: our customers use a separate platform for project management (Linear, Jira, Asana...)

The central node: connects with your CRM and accounting platforms

Forward looking: forecast revenue, utilization and margin

An arrow points downward from OPERATING to a horizontal line labeled 'Do Work,' followed by arrows pointing to boxes labeled 'Inputs' on the left and 'Outputs' on the right. Below 'Do Work,' there are four boxes labeled 'Perform,' 'Create,' 'Carry Out,' and 'Execute' in a row. Underneath these boxes, the text reads: 'Operations involve the actual tasks and processes to turn inputs into outputs according to a planned method with the required resources.'Diagram illustrating the operating figure of merit with a circle divided horizontally into four quadrants labeled Design, Handoff, Revenue, and Retention linked clockwise around the circle.
