Altai Consulting centralizes project monitoring in Stafiz to drive profitability in real time

Before Stafiz, Altai Consulting used two separate systems : one for time tracking, the other for project KPIs. However, in a consulting activity, these two dimensions must move forward together. In concrete terms, the team was forced to reconsolidate the data in Excel to obtain a project vision (burn rate, billable time, profitability). The result: duplication of efforts, wasted time and delayed decision-making on the management side due to a lack of consolidated and up-to-date data.

To meet the need for time + project performance management in a single environment, Altai Consulting has set up Stafiz as a central platform, in order to avoid manual consolidations between several systems and to speed up decision-making.

On a daily basis, the teams rely on the resource planning / Scheduling to plan projects and track effort (days), while relying on estimated revenue and burn rate calculations.

Project managers thus have a real-time reading of the margin and burn rate, and can compare the evolution of the project P&L to the initial budget (forecast).

On the HR side, Altai also uses Time Off & Absence management (balances, global management, error reduction), with useful visibility for management (planning, regional P&L, fluid approval process). Finally, the simple data extraction and integrated calculations (e.g. billable rate, margin) facilitate analyses without having to dive back into Excel.

• Project managers adjust the resource planning on time thanks to real-time visibility on margin and burn rate, and P&L vs. budget comparison (forecast).
• The management oversees the activity more finely with a reading of the forecast P&L.
• More actionable data in everyday life: better visualization of the resource planning & financial project, detailed LOE tracking, and simple data extraction.
