Challenges faced by the procurement team

Supply-side blindspots

Professional services suffer from insufficient visibility of supply chain activities, a key reason for cost escalations.

  • Get the real-time insights you need to prepare highly accurate estimates and identify potential per-element costs for your project to ensure it stays within budget
  • Recognize potential risks, assign a value to the financial impact of each risk type, and develop plans to preempt and eliminate such threats
  • Track project progress in real time with clean at-a-glance dashboard views of multiple project metrics to stem the menace of cost overruns

Opaque billing systems

High revenue leakage, resulting from legacy data capture processes, is leaving the C-suite uneasy.

  • Modernize your time-tracking with a performance dashboard capable of visualizing key KPIs – e.g., utilization, yearly revenue per billable resource, profitability at firm/project levels
  • Precisely clock the time your resources spend on core income-generating activities (versus routine administrative tasks) to ramp up productivity levels in the near-term
  • Leverage AI/ML algorithms to more precisely work out the talent pool size needed on a project to ensure optimal allocation of scarce resources

  • Embrace the inorganic route to expand into promising markets and regions with high market-growth potential in the mid-to-long term while tallying up costs and risks
  • Discover ways to curb spends on lackluster offerings with low or negative returns and which constitute an unjustified drag on resources
