Kinetic IT Success Story
Grow new business win rates
Without efficient management from the outset, your end-to-end project lifecycle will be much more difficult to plan, manage and track.
All required functionality for managing contacts, opportunities, gateways and potential conflicts of interest are provided in the Unit4 PSA solution. In the unified solution, sales and project teams can record and report on the pipeline across all stages to ‘Won’.
- Opportunity management with Gateway management control.
- Use predictive analytics tools to utilize data from Reference Projects when drafting proposals.
- Directly convert won opportunities into live projects.
- Create new projects based on templates and reduce manual work.
With the powerful predictive analytics tools, you can use historic project data as a reference when planning a new project. Within seconds, you understand what the estimate should be and who should work on the project. Then the system does the rest for you; creating the project, a project plan and a resource plan.
Track project and service delivery
Vis Gem
At the centre of our PSA solution is the project. Your project managers have 360 degree visibility and control over all project-related information from within one, single workspace. You get a consistent look and feel in all aspect of project work, and total integration of all project, finance and people processes. This is particularly valid when timesheets, expense sheets and requisitions are used, because Project Managers can control who can post hours expenses and raise purchase orders within projects.
Achieve revenue and margin targets
Plans and budgets enable accurate bids in the opportunity phase and project tracking in the execution phase. They contribute to accurate forecasts of cash, loads and profit contribution - all of which will provide corporate-wide KPIs, as well as specific project portfolio management level analysis.
- Project 360 Workspace for 360 degree visibility and control projects.
- Project forecast to predict future position in terms of people, projects, budget, revenue and profit.
- Record time on Time sheets directly linked to the project.
- Capture project-related expenses directly on the project.
- Raise purchase requests to be procured an billed through to the customer.
Optimize resource utilization rates
Resource planning information is readily available to identify which resource categories can be used most effectively, and to monitor and manage availability and utilization at any level of the organization - and by any analysis category.
For example, it is valuable to understand staff availability within a division by discipline - but it may also be valuable to understand the availability of a discipline, such as engineering consultant, across all divisions. Agile analysis and reporting capabilities provide your teams with this information.
- Allocate the right teams and capabilities to boost utilization and billability.
- Reduce costs of keeping redundant skill or losing opportunities by management teams across continents.
- Reach all your people with an integrated business system that breaks down silos.
- Analyze and predict future resource requirements of your organization.
Shorten the service to cash cycle
Spreadsheets exist for many purposes, including reporting and analysis, but most often they support the billing process. You may have a different spreadsheet for different tasks and projects - certainly not the best way to manage the most significant component driving your cashflow! Now you can replace the volume and complexity of spreadsheets.
Our comprehensive solution to billing, including sales rates per employee, per function, role, client, project or a combination, allows for the customer contract agreement to be efficiently managed.
Timesheets, expenses, milestones, fixed fees are all processed as per the contract with no human intervention required - other than updates to the contract or detailed editing of the invoice content as necessary.
- Reduce invoice lag and increase invoice accuracy.
- Invoice exactly what should be billed, when it should be billed.
- Reduce credit invoices and credit notes.
- Reduce late payments.
In business for people
People are at the heart of Professional Service organizations. Unit4’s Professional Services Automation solution reflects the business realities of project-intensive and consulting-centric organizations.
Collaborate to succeed
A vital part of modern business is the ease of collaboration. To facilitate collaboration and support project stakeholders, you can set up a project community with Slack.com integration. Project team members can share news, documents, pictures, views and opinions, and see the other team members and project performance. This enables everyone to keep in touch in a social and engaging way. Teams can use chat functions to communicate with each other and keep these conversations pinned to the project record for future reference.
The Unit4 People Platform offers a whole new level of capabilities designed around the needs of people, enabling you to harness the latest advances in key technologies (such as social, mobile, predictive analytics, cloud and big data).
