How AlibeeZ lifts utilisation and de-risks your fixed-price projects
In specialised consulting, profitability comes down to consultant utilisation. Project management, resource planning and billing throughput create real operational complexity. A purpose-built ERP is the essential building block for steering engagements, maximising team occupancy and supporting growth.
The challenges
Utilisation above 80% underpins profitability. That needs proactive staffing, anticipation of engagement endings and fast repositioning of available consultants. An ERP shows activity in real time, surfaces troughs and drives staffing accordingly.
When the model is mostly fixed price, the ability to plan, track milestones, control effort and measure progress decides whether delivery succeeds. A specialised ERP protects deadlines, quality and margin across the whole project cycle.
Administration has to be frictionless for growth to continue. Fixed price or time-and-materials, billing must rest on reliable data — milestones, timesheets — and fire automatically. A dedicated ERP brings CRM, purchasing, client follow-up and documents into one workspace.
The answer
A consulting ERP is designed around how the sector actually works: engagement-centric, fixed-price delivery, skills as the core asset and tight control of economic performance.
Track leads, clients and sales cycles properly. You gain commercial responsiveness and convert more opportunities into engagements.
Visibility on milestones, effort and progress in real time, so you hold the commitments you made to the client.

It is a management system centred on the engagement rather than on products or inventory. It brings CRM, consultant planning, milestone and effort tracking, multi-model billing and margin reporting into one repository.
Because a consultant’s cost runs whether they are staffed or not. Every point of utilisation lost translates directly into margin that never materialises, and it cannot be recovered: an unsold day is gone.
By structuring the project around delivery and billing milestones, continuously comparing consumed effort against budget, and alerting as soon as the gap crosses a threshold. Forecast margin is recomputed on every time entry.
Yes, including on the same client or the same project. Each contract line carries its own valuation model, and billing can aggregate both into a single invoice where needed.
A few weeks for the time, leave and billing core; longer if you migrate substantial history or connect several tools. We always start by mapping your existing processes.
Yes. Journal entries, invoices and purchases export to the main accounting packages, and a documented REST API covers non-standard cases.
