Industry Solutions

Your professional services firm is growing, but operational inefficiencies are destroying your profitability and client satisfaction.
You're managing projects across spreadsheets, your resource allocation is guesswork, billing is delayed, and you have no real-time visibility into project profitability. Client expectations are rising while your margins are shrinking because you can't efficiently manage resources, track time, or deliver projects on budget.
NetSuite Professional Services Edition transforms fragmented service operations into unified, profitable delivery engines that drive growth.
We've helped Australian professional services firms like Etymon, Employment Innovations, and AIPA eliminate operational chaos, optimise resource utilisation, and scale operations efficiently, enabling them to focus on delivering exceptional client outcomes rather than administrative firefighting.



Resource Management Chaos
Without real-time visibility into resource availability, skills, and workloads, you're either overworking your best people or underutilising expensive talent, destroying both profitability and employee satisfaction.
Project Profitability Blindness
Managing projects without integrated financial tracking means you don't know which projects, clients, or services are profitable until it's too late to course-correct, leading to margin erosion and missed targets.
Billing and Revenue Leakage
Manual time tracking, delayed invoicing, and complex billing arrangements result in lost billable hours, disputed invoices, and cash flow problems that threaten business stability.
Client Experience Breakdown
Disconnected systems mean no single view of client interactions, project status, or service history, resulting in inconsistent communication and deteriorating client relationships.
Scaling Bottlenecks
Manual processes for project management, resource allocation, and financial reporting create operational bottlenecks that prevent efficient scaling as your client base and service offerings grow.
Complete project lifecycle management from initiation to completion. Real-time project tracking, milestone management, task scheduling, and financial integration ensure projects stay on time, within budget, and profitable.
