ERP for services companies that sell time and projects

In a services company the product is your experts’ time. Hours that aren’t logged aren’t billed, and if project costs are unknown you can’t tell which clients are profitable. Fidar puts sales, projects and finance on one dataset.

Challenges

Where services firms lose money

  • Unlogged hours

    Work gets done but never makes it onto an invoice.

  • Unknown profitability

    Nobody knows until the end whether costs exceeded the contract.

  • Untracked scope creep

    Extra client requests get done but the contract isn’t updated.

  • Scattered support

    Client requests get lost in email and phone and SLAs aren’t measured.

ERP for services FAQ

Why would a services company need an ERP?

As projects and headcount grow, connecting sales, time, billing and cost across separate tools stops working. An ERP brings them together. See what is cloud ERP.

When will Projects be ready?

Projects, timesheets and services are on the roadmap after HR.

Where do we start until then?

With CRM for project sales and Activities for meetings and follow-ups; the data links to Projects later with no migration.
