A co-development partnership for consulting and professional-services leaders

Tell us what would transform your consulting floor. We'll build it — at our cost.

You already know us for time-tracking and workforce intelligence. Now we want one design partner to help us build the operating platform underneath the billable hour — utilisation, realisation, engagement margin and capacity — to your exact requirements. You run it free in production for six months. No cost, no obligation.

Free to run for six months — the kind of platform that's normally a major build.

The number that moves everything

Utilisation & realisation

Every consultant-hour either bills at full rate, bills at a discount, or leaks to the bench — and the gap between booked and realised revenue is where margin quietly disappears.

Higher
Billable utilisation across the bench
Higher
Realisation rate on logged hours
Lower
Revenue leakage from write-offs & unbilled time

Why us

You already know us as Time Champ

You know Time Champ as the workforce-intelligence layer — time-tracking, activity and productivity signals across your consultants. That data already tells you who is busy; it does not yet tell you who is billable, which engagements are bleeding margin, or where next month's capacity is over-committed. Turning those signals into a production-grade operating platform — timesheet-to-invoice, utilisation forecasting, engagement P&L, staffing — is a full-time product discipline, and it is our job, not yours. Your partners should be selling and delivering work, not maintaining spreadsheets and a half-built internal PSA. We bring the engineering and the workforce data; you bring the floor and the requirements; together we build the platform your firm actually runs on. It is not built yet — it is built with you.

The offer

An honest trade — no catch

Here's exactly what each side gets. We're not giving software away; we're building a product with a real operation, and you get the first and best of it.

What you get

  • The platform built to your workflows, at our cost
  • Six months of free use, live in production
  • Comparable to a ~₹50 lakh custom build
  • A 6–12 month lead before anyone else has it
  • Preferential founding-customer pricing
  • No obligation to continue

What we get

  • Deep domain knowledge from a real operation
  • A platform proven on a live floor
  • If it earns it — a reference for the market

What we'll build

One product, built around your floor

Not a phased wishlist — one platform, with every module your operation runs on, designed to your workflows. Here's what's inside it.

A note on AI. Wherever you see the AI tag below, it marks a specific job — reading a file, scoring an account, predicting an action. No buzzwords; each line says exactly what the model does, and modules that don't use AI don't carry the tag.

Utilisation & bench intelligence

Know who's billable before month-end, not after

Live utilisation dashboard
Billable, non-billable, internal and bench hours per consultant, rolled up by team, practice and grade.
Target vs. actual by grade
Track each consultant against their utilisation target (e.g. 75% analyst, 60% manager) with running variance.
Bench & availability radar
Surfaces who rolls off and when, so staffers fill gaps before they hit the bench.
AIPredicts upcoming bench time from current allocations and project end-dates.
Utilisation leakage alerts
Flags consultants drifting below target or stacking non-billable hours week over week.
AIScores at-risk utilisation patterns before they show up in the monthly report.
Value add: Replaces the monthly utilisation spreadsheet with a live view of billable vs. bench, by person, team and grade.

Billable timesheets & realisation

Close the gap between hours worked and hours billed

Frictionless time capture
Pre-filled timesheets drafted from tracked activity, calendar and project context — consultants confirm, not retype.
AISuggests draft time entries by mapping tracked work to the right client, engagement and task code.
Realisation tracking
Logged hours vs. billed hours vs. collected revenue per engagement, surfacing every write-down and write-off.
Missing-time enforcement
Daily and weekly nudges plus lock dates so timesheets are complete before billing runs.
WIP & unbilled visibility
Running work-in-progress and unbilled balance per client, so nothing ages quietly past the billing window.
Narrative & code quality check
Catches thin time narratives and wrong rate codes that trigger client write-downs.
AIFlags entries with weak or non-compliant narratives likely to be queried or written off.
Value add: Cuts revenue leakage by catching unlogged, miscoded and write-off-prone time before it reaches the invoice.

Project & engagement allocation

Staff the right people to the right engagements

Staffing board
Drag-and-drop allocation of consultants to engagements with conflict and over-allocation detection.
Skills & experience matching
Match open roles to consultants by skill, sector experience, clearance and grade.
AIRanks best-fit consultants for an open role from skills, prior engagements and availability.
Engagement margin tracker
Live engagement P&L — fees, blended rate, cost-to-serve and margin against the original budget.
Scope & budget burn
Hours and fees consumed vs. budget by phase, with early over-run signals on fixed-fee work.
AIForecasts budget over-run and projected final margin from current burn rate.
Value add: Gives staffers a single board to match skills, availability and rate to demand — instead of negotiating over email.

Capacity & demand planning

See next quarter's crunch before it arrives

Rolling capacity forecast
Committed vs. available hours by team and grade across the next 1–6 months.
Pipeline-weighted demand
Blends signed work with weighted pipeline to project hiring and sub-contracting needs.
AIProjects demand by skill and grade from pipeline probability and historical conversion.
Hiring & sub-contractor signals
Flags where committed demand exceeds capacity early enough to recruit or partner.
Scenario planning
Model the impact of winning a deal, losing a consultant or shifting an engagement start date.
Value add: Turns the sales pipeline and current allocations into a forward view of where you'll be short or idle.

Performance & development (PMS)

Tie reviews to utilisation, realisation and feedback

Goal & competency framework
Grade-based competency ladders with quarterly and annual goal tracking.
Engagement feedback capture
Structured upward and engagement-manager feedback collected at each roll-off.
Metric-linked reviews
Pull utilisation, realisation and client feedback straight into the review record.
Promotion & progression readiness
Track consultants against the criteria for the next grade with evidence attached.
AIHighlights consultants meeting next-grade criteria based on metrics and feedback trends.
Value add: Grounds consultant reviews in real delivery data instead of recency and memory.

Learning, SOPs & methodology

Make your delivery method searchable, not tribal

Methodology & playbook library
Versioned delivery frameworks, SOPs and quality standards by service line.
Template & precedent vault
Approved proposal, deliverable and work-paper templates with usage tracking.
Onboarding & accreditation paths
Role-based ramp plans with required training and tool certifications before staffing.
Knowledge search
Find prior deliverables, credentials and case studies across past engagements.
AISurfaces relevant past work and experts in response to a natural-language query.
Value add: Keeps firm methodology, templates and precedent reachable so consultants stop rebuilding decks from scratch.

Workforce intelligence & monitoring

The signal layer underneath every other module

Activity & productivity signals
App, document and focus patterns that distinguish billable delivery from internal and idle time.
Automatic time evidence
Tracked work becomes the basis for draft timesheets, reducing reconstruction at week-end.
Remote & hybrid visibility
Consistent view across office, remote and client-site work without micromanaging.
Anomaly detection
Flags unusual activity or productivity drops at team level for early intervention.
AIDetects outlier activity and burnout-risk patterns across teams.

Attendance, leave & shrinkage

Keep capacity numbers honest

Leave & holiday management
Self-service leave with team calendars that flow straight into capacity planning.
Available-hours baseline
Net billable capacity after leave, public holidays and internal commitments.
Shrinkage tracking
Visibility into training, admin and non-chargeable internal time eroding billable capacity.
Value add: Feeds accurate available-hours into utilisation and capacity by accounting for leave, holidays and shrinkage.

Access & client-data governance

Right people, right engagement, clean separation

Role & engagement-based access
Scoped access to client data, work-papers and rates by role and active engagement.
Ethical walls & conflict checks
Information barriers between conflicting clients with audit-ready enforcement.
Credential & tool provisioning
Provision and de-provision access at staffing-on and roll-off automatically.
Audit trail
Immutable log of who accessed which client record and when, for client and regulatory review.
Value add: Enforces engagement-level access and ethical walls so client confidentiality holds up under scrutiny.

How the six months works

From scope to decision, on a fixed cadence

1

Scope · weeks 1–2

You name the priorities; we lock the success criteria together.

2

Build · months 1–4

We engineer; you review on a fixed cadence with your SMEs.

3

Run · months 4–6

Live on your floor, measured against the criteria we agreed.

4

Decide · month 6

Continue on founding terms, or walk away owing nothing.

What we need from you: a named champion, a few SMEs, and honest feedback. That's the whole ask.

Your protections

The guardrails, in writing

You own your process IP

Your proprietary workflows stay yours and are never productised.

Clear licensing

We own the platform; you get free use through the pilot.

Your data stays yours

Client and engagement data is handled under SOC 2 / ISO 27001-aligned controls, with engagement-scoped access, ethical-wall enforcement and full audit trails.

No obligation

If it doesn't earn its place, you walk away owing nothing.
