Industry Expertise

If you are projects-based business looking to maximise profits by increasing operational efficiencies, Sapphire can help. We enable the finance department to help their billable service professionals overcome the challenges they face on a daily basis by eliminating the inefficiencies of trying to manage multiple project spreadsheets, emails, correspondence, expense claim and timesheet handling.

Many Service businesses are faced with the pressures of multiple requests made by increasingly demanding customers. Allied to this is the increasing competition within the market – meaning that margins and profits can be eroded. Finally, add the dynamics of running a service-based business including various resource and financial management processes, and you'll find that all these pressures combined are increasing operational complexity.

Real-time visibility into key performance indicators that include fee/sales pipeline health, engagement and project profitability, employee and contractor productivity/performance, client lifetime value and satisfaction levels.
