BUILT FOR PROJECT-BASED BUSINESSES

What is NetSuite for professional services firms?

NetSuite for professional services firms combines cloud ERP and professional services automation to connect projects, resources, time, expenses, billing, revenue and accounting.

Teams can manage the project lifecycle from opportunity and planning through delivery, invoicing and financial reporting without rebuilding information across disconnected spreadsheets and applications.

Novutech designs the wider operating model and finance ecosystem around the way your business sells, staffs, delivers and bills its services.

COMMON PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CHALLENGES

Can you see what is driving project profitability?

Skills, availability, project demand and allocations often sit in separate tools, making it difficult to deploy the right people at the right time.

  • Spreadsheet-based planning
  • Over- or under-allocation
  • Limited forward visibility

Late or incomplete timesheets and disconnected delivery data make it harder to understand progress and actual project effort.

  • Low timesheet compliance
  • Delayed project information
  • Difficult cost tracking

Time-and-materials, fixed-fee, milestone and mixed billing models create manual work when project and finance systems are not connected.

  • Manual invoice preparation
  • Billing delays and errors
  • Limited visibility of unbilled work

Finance and delivery leaders need reliable revenue, cost, utilisation and margin information at project, client and business-unit level.

  • Retrospective margin reporting
  • Inconsistent project data
  • Slow decisions on rates and staffing
