Consulting

Billable clarity
every week.

Consultants log hours against project deliverables. Managers read utilization donuts on scoped team dashboards. Finance pulls approved billable lines into invoice drafts with PO references — the weekly rhythm professional services firms depend on, without reconciliation archaeology.

Consulting firms live on billable utilization — the gap between available hours and client work is the business. Tracopus HRMS module ties weekly timesheet rows to project deliverables, surfaces utilization on documented dashboard charts, and feeds approved billable hours toward invoice drafts with PO references from Sales.

The problem

What breaks without one system

Month-end reconciliation

Finance rebuilds billable totals from exports because time and invoicing systems disagree.

Utilization distrust

Managers scope charts wrong or entries arrive too late for weekly review.

Partner visibility

No single register connects hours, deliverables, and invoice lines.

What Tracopus delivers

  • Billable rows linked to deliverables
  • Team-scoped utilization on dashboard
  • Invoice traceability to timesheet lines
  • PO number on invoice header from Sales

Consulting firms

Utilization and billing in one rhythm.

Team dashboards, approved billable pools, and invoice drafts with PO references — the weekly loop professional services firms depend on.

Module-specific answers

Why link timesheet rows to deliverables?

Billable hours roll into est-vs-actual on deliverables and trace to invoice lines — unlinked rows break that chain.

Professional services

Weekly billing cycle

Consultants log billable hours against project deliverables in the weekly timesheet grid. Managers review utilization on the HRMS dashboard. Finance opens the invoice register, pulls approved billable lines into a draft, attaches the purchase order reference from Sales, and generates a PDF for client AP.

Flow: Timesheet → Dashboard utilization → Invoice register → PDF

Sales & delivery

Won deal to staffed project

A bid moves through pipeline stages on the bid requests register. On win, a purchase order is created and linked to the client account. Delivery opens PO details, spawns a project with the same account and contract context, assigns members, and dates deliverables — without re-keying client metadata.

Flow: Bid pipeline → Purchase order → Create project → Deliverables

Delivery teams

Sprint staffing decision

A PM reviews team capacity — Overview gauges, Roster availability, Timeline allocation, and Gantt project bars — before committing work to the taskboard. Tasks move through Planned → To do → In progress → Done while summary charts show WIP and queue mix.

Flow: Team capacity → Taskboard → Task activity register

IT & HR

Enterprise identity rollout

Employees sign in with Microsoft Entra ID. HR provisions accounts through the create-employee wizard (Profile → Access → Sign-in → Organization → Skills). Role templates control which modules appear in the sidebar. Org configuration inherits down the tree with override indicators for local policy.

Flow: SSO login → Employee wizard → Role templates → Org config

Mobile workforce

Field time capture

A consultant between client meetings opens mobile timesheet, uses Record day to log billable hours against the active project, and sees the same week lock and validation hints as the web grid. Insights charts reflect the entry on the next sync.

Flow: Mobile login → Timesheet FAB → Web dashboard sync

HR operations

Month-end attendance reconciliation

HR opens the attendance month matrix, filters to an org unit, marks or corrects day cells against timesheet leave rows, exports the matrix for payroll where permitted, and confirms attendance strips on employee dashboards align with the matrix.

Flow: Attendance matrix → Timesheet leave → Dashboard strip
