Professional Services Firms Are Losing Margin – Not Because of Talent, But Because of Systems

Professional services organizations—consulting, IT services, engineering, legal, architecture, accounting—face challenges that directly erode profitability:

Low billable utilization due to poor resource visibility

Delivery overruns caused by weak project controls 

Revenue leakage from manual or inaccurate time entry

Delayed invoicing because finance lacks real-time project data

Fragmented CRM → project → billing workflows

Inability to forecast resource needs leading to bench time or unmet demand 

Limited visibility into client health and project risks

These issues aren’t caused by lack of effort or leadership. They’re caused by disconnected systems that can’t support the speed and complexity of modern service delivery. To stay competitive, firms need a unified platform for managing clients, projects, resources, financials, and operations — not another isolated tool.
