Consulting

As a consultant, you constantly face the challenge of optimizing the alignment of your staff while profitably delivering projects on time. On top of this, your practice has many non-billable administrative tasks like resource management, invoicing and business planning. While important, these tasks equate to lost revenue or foregone personal time. With Cubespace , you can minimize administrative tasks for your consulting firm while gaining valuable insights to improve realization rates, project profitability and client satisfaction.

Key Benefits

Optimize staffing: With projects constantly in flux, allocating the best skilled resources to the right projects while minimizing bench time is critical. Cubespace resource management software lets you identify resources with needed skills (e.g. domain knowledge, language) and address potential bottlenecks before they become a problem. With complete visibility, you can accurately forecast staffing needs and increase utilization for your consulting firm while not burning out your most valuable people.



Solutions

Manage project profitability: Dashboards let you compare billed to budgeted time, monitor status in real time and proactively identify potential overruns. Benchmark a proposed project against a similar completed engagement to generate a reliable quote, and conduct "what-if" planning to optimize billing and margins. With Cubespace ERP system, project-based accounting is easy. Look across your consulting firm's projects to identify engagements that are selling well or teams that have delivered a project type more profitably than others.


Improve collaboration: Cubespace collaboration platform enables your consultants to capture and share important documents and intellectual property among team members, regardless of their location, so they can benefit from each other's experiences. With the turnover many firms face, Cubespace also allows you to retain institutional knowledge and assure clients there won't be disruptions.
