Professional Services Organization Solutions

Our software solutions focus on People Experience to help free your professionals to do more of what matters: attracting, supporting and retaining clients.

Tackle your biggest consulting challenges with one platform
Management consulting firms face a distinct set of pressures. Margins depend on how well you plan and staff engagements. Projects shift scope constantly. Clients expect full transparency in billing. And disconnected systems make everything harder than it needs to be.

Unit4 brings your project management, resource planning, financials, and HR into a single cloud platform designed specifically for professional services. Your teams spend less time on admin and more time delivering value to clients.

Protect and grow project profitability

Every consulting engagement is different, but the goal stays the same: deliver great work and protect your margins. Unit4 gives project managers and finance teams real-time visibility into project costs, budgets, and forecasts, so you can spot margin risk early and act on it.

  • Track project KPIs including estimate to complete (ETC), time, and expenses
  • Monitor budgets across fixed-price and time-and-materials engagements
  • Run post-project evaluations to improve future estimates and pricing

Smarter consultancy resource planning

Your people are your product. Getting the right consultant on the right project at the right time is the difference between a profitable engagement and a costly one. Unit4 connects your resource planning with your project pipeline, skills data, and workforce availability, all in one view.

  • Match consultants to projects based on skills, availability, and location
  • Reduce bench time with centralized workforce planning
  • Build long-term staffing plans informed by your project pipeline and growth targets

Simplify complex client billing

Global projects, multiple entities, mixed billing models: consulting firms deal with billing complexity most ERP systems weren't built to handle. Unit4 was. From time capture through to invoice generation and credit control, the entire billing cycle is connected and accurate.

  • Manage billing across multiple legal entities and currencies
  • Support fixed-price, time-and-materials, and milestone-based billing
  • Improve cash flow with end-to-end invoice tracking and credit control
