ERP for Consulting Firms

NetSuite's complete ERP and PSA solution integrates project management with your accounting, sales and payroll functions – helping you increase billable hours, reduce administrative effort and build a more agile firm.

Boost Project Profitability with NetSuite ERP & PSA Software

As a consulting firm, people are at the core of your business.

With labour accounting for the bulk of your cost structure, utilizing project resources to their fullest capacity is critical to growing your business. Streamlining your back-end processes has a direct impact on your ability to deliver successful projects and keep your clients happy.

For consistent results, you need real-time project data that’s connected to financials and sales. But that’s not easy to achieve with disparate systems.

An integrated ERP and PSA (Professional Services Automation) solution helps you meet this challenge, so you can spend less time on administrative tasks, while increasing billable hours, project profitability and client satisfaction.

Consulting firms that use ERP and PSA see measurable results, including:

  • 17% increase in year-over-year professional services revenue growth
  • 4% increase in billable utilization
  • $56,000 increase in revenue per project on average
  • 25–75% reduction in invoicing costs

Streamline Your Consulting Firm with ERP + PSA

To grow your firm, you need to do more than just deliver quality projects.

NetSuite's complete ERP and PSA solution enables you to streamline project delivery and reduce administrative effort in billing, sales and resource management. Increasing efficiency on both sides of the business leads to increased revenue, higher margins and lower costs.
