As a Professional Services firm, your goal is only to be efficient in your operations, provide best services to the clients and retain them, and produce huge ROI. This is not possible if you do not have the right data and tool with you! Let’s see how Microsoft Power BI can help professional Services organizations like you to soar high!
“Professional Services Organizations can harness the power of analytics to develop core reports by using Microsoft Power BI to generate highest productivity & reduce losses.”
With Power BI, billable allocation report will give you an overview of all the resources (employees) at work and determine exactly for how many days and hours they are billable (occupied). The table demonstrates the billable allocation report for future weeks. The green, red and yellow colours determine the percentage of the allocations where you can set your own criteria. For example, here, the criteria are green colour for more than 80% allocation, yellow colour for allocation percentage between 50-80% and lastly, red colour indicates the resource is allocated only below 50%. This suggests the red ones can be allocated with new tasks. Not only this, this will also help you determine if there is a new hiring required for fulfilling upcoming projects.
An accounts receivable report is a record that shows the outstanding invoice balances along with the duration. This report helps businesses identify invoices that are open and allows them to keep on top of their payments from their clients. Using Power BI, you can use accounts receivable reports to monitor and analyze information related to your AR invoices. Guess what! We, at CloudFronts, manage our Customer Invoicing from PSA and with this, we drive our Accounts Receivable (AR) Reporting from a back-office function to the hands to our Delivery Managers! This ensures you have timely followed up on overdue payments and get paid on time!

By ensuring you allocate your team members on upcoming projects (for time & materials) or setup your milestones correctly (for fixed bid projects), you get an accurate overview of the health of your business.
