WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AUTOMATION (PSA?)

WHAT IS PSA SOFTWARE?

Professional Services Automation, or PSA, is a type of software that helps service-based businesses better manage their operations. PSA software can automate a wide range of tasks related to running a business, from project management and resource planning to time tracking and invoicing.

Precursive PSA can be used by businesses of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises. And because our PSA software is cloud-based, it can be accessed from anywhere, at any time.

If you’re running a service-based business, our PSA software may be a good solution for you. With Precursive, you can stay on top of your project’s timeline by decreasing possible risks and issues going forward. You can also integrate your programs with Salesforce seamlessly in a few clicks.

DOES MY BUSINESS NEED PSA SOFTWARE?

Are you seeing any of the following common issues in your day-to-day? If so, professional services automation software can help provide a solution.

INEFFECTIVE PROJECT WORKFLOW

Poor collaboration, communication, overrun projects, and unforeseen expenses are the result. With PSA, project teams can communicate seamlessly and the whole project can be managed efficiently.

OVER-SERVICING YOUR CLIENTS

A project quoted for 50 hours, takes 100 hours to deliver, you’ve taken a big hit to your profits. Accurately tracking time against projects can show your clients where revenue is not lining up with expectations.

USING MANUAL TIMESHEETS

Billable staff are under utilized when it comes to time spent manually completing timesheets and expenses claims. With PSA software, they can add necessary information from any location.

HIGH NON-BILLABLE LEVELS

Untracked resources result in difficulties appointing the right people to projects. PSA software can minimize the time billable staff are not working on active projects, which is absolutely crucial to your bottom line.

WHY IS PSA SOFTWARE IMPORTANT?

PSA software drives many significant operational performance advantages, which can lead to higher revenue and profit for professional services organizations. Throughout the difficult time of COVID-19 which impacted us in many significant ways, we stopped going out and were forced to work from home. Out of that formed a shift in solutions that affected how we systemized teams across different departments, no matter their geographical location.

For many businesses to survive the harsh impact of COVID-19, the key takeaway was that technology, and more specifically, software, has simplified many of the workflows within each team. That has caused a massive growth in usage of PSA software and catapulted organizational efficiency.

"Precursive allowed us to scale, to the point we have 10 implementation managers, managing over 100 implementations at any one time. We've got reliable up to date data on each of them, and it wouldn't have been possible without centralizing that information."
