The "Fragmented Metrics" Problem
Scattered client engagement data across CRM portals like Salesforce and project management tools like Asana leaves professional services teams guessing on Net Promoter Score (NPS) trends and satisfaction benchmarks
Manual reconciliation of billable hours from time-tracking tools like Toggl and invoicing systems like QuickBooks eats into profitability for time-and-materials contracts in advisory services
Delayed visibility into project resource allocation for billable consultants hinders timely adjustments for understaffed engagements in fixed-fee advisory projects
Siloed performance metrics between on-site and remote teams in hybrid consulting models disrupt coordinated service delivery and SLAs in managed services
Inaccurate forecasting of contract renewals due to buried client feedback in email threads, spreadsheets, and CRM notes for multi-year engagements
Compliance tracking for data security audits under GDPR and SOC 2 scattered across vendor reports and internal logs in regulated professional services environments

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were piecing together utilization reports from Harvest, Salesforce, and our ERP system every week, which took our ops lead about 12 hours. Now, the dashboard auto-updates every morning with real-time billable hour variances, and we've reclaimed that time for actual client strategy sessions. Margins on our managed IT services jumped 14% in the first quarter alone."
Sarah Jenkins
Director of Operations, TechBridge Consulting
"Integrating our client feedback from Zendesk tickets, internal NPS surveys, and Salesforce notes was a nightmare until this platform. It flagged a 15-point dip in satisfaction for one major account early in Q2, letting us intervene with a customized support plan. We retained that $800K multi-year contract and even upsold $200K in additional advisory services."
Mike Rivera
Managing Partner, Nexus IT Advisors
"As a growing firm, scaling our KPI tracking for utilization and profitability without custom development seemed impossible. AIQ's solution handles our 50+ active client engagements flawlessly, giving real-time views on margins per project. It's cut our revenue forecasting errors in half over the past year, and we're hitting our 20% YoY growth targets ahead of schedule."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this KPI platform integrate with our existing IT service management tools?
We start by mapping your current stack—think ServiceNow, Microsoft Project, or ConnectWise—and build custom APIs for bidirectional data flow. This creates a unified view without disrupting workflows. For instance, billable hours from time entries auto-populate into profitability trackers, reducing manual input by 70%. Our process includes a thorough audit to ensure compatibility, and we handle all migrations to minimize downtime. IT services firms typically see full integration in 4-6 weeks, with ongoing support to adapt as your tools evolve.
What specific KPIs are tracked for IT services companies?
We focus on metrics tailored to your operations, such as consultant utilization rates (targeting 75-85% benchmarks), project margin per engagement, client Net Promoter Scores, SLA compliance percentages, and mean time to resolution for support tickets. These pull from your systems to provide real-time benchmarks against industry standards—like the 92% SLA adherence average for top firms. Customization lets you add unique ones, like repeat business rates, ensuring the dashboard reflects your client-relationship priorities and drives informed scaling decisions.
Is the platform scalable for growing IT firms with multiple client contracts?
Absolutely. Designed with enterprise-grade architecture, it handles unlimited projects and scales seamlessly as you add clients—from 10 to 500 engagements. We've built it to process terabytes of data without performance hits, using cloud-agnostic frameworks that grow with your revenue. For example, a mid-sized firm we worked with expanded from 50 to 200 active contracts; their dashboard adapted in real time, maintaining sub-second load times. No limits mean you invest once and scale indefinitely, avoiding the costly upgrades of generic tools.
How secure is the data in your custom dashboards?
Security is paramount for IT services handling sensitive client data. We implement end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, and compliance with standards like ISO 27001 and HIPAA where needed. All data stays within your owned system, with no external vendors accessing it. Features include audit trails for every metric change and automated backups. In one deployment, we helped a firm pass a rigorous SOC 2 audit by centralizing compliance logs, reducing preparation time from weeks to days. Regular vulnerability scans ensure your KPIs remain protected as threats evolve.
What kind of support do you provide after deployment?
Post-launch, we offer comprehensive support including a dedicated account manager for the first three months, bi-weekly check-ins to optimize performance, and unlimited access to our engineering team for tweaks. Training sessions cover dashboard navigation for your staff, with resources like video tutorials. We've found this hands-on approach helps teams adopt the tool quickly— one client reduced query times by 50% within a month. As your business grows, we scale support accordingly, ensuring the platform continues delivering actionable insights without interruption.
Can we customize the dashboard for our specific service lines, like managed services versus consulting?
Yes, customization is at the core of our approach. We segment KPIs by service line—for managed services, that might include uptime metrics and ticket volumes; for consulting, focus on milestone completion rates and billable efficiency. Using your input, we design modular views that switch contexts effortlessly. A recent project for a hybrid IT firm tailored sections for each, resulting in 25% faster decision-making on resource shifts. This flexibility ensures the dashboard aligns perfectly with your diverse client engagements, enhancing overall visibility.
