This solution tracks actual billable hours logged against each engagement and consultant, compares them to capacity and targets, and produces a weekly or monthly utilization report that shows which consultants are overloaded, which have capacity, and how the firm is trending against its utilization goals. It pulls data from your time-tracking system automatically.
The problem it solves is that utilization is one of the primary drivers of consulting firm profitability, yet many firms manage it reactively rather than proactively because assembling utilization data from timesheets is time-consuming. Real-time visibility into utilization lets operations leaders balance workloads, identify capacity before new engagements start, and catch underperformance before it impacts the bottom line.
From trigger to result, here is the flow at a glance.
