The "Data Silo" Problem
Scattered client engagement data across CRM systems like Salesforce and project trackers such as Asana or Jira, hindering holistic advisory insights
Inaccurate billable hours tracking due to manual reconciliations between time-entry software and ERP systems, leading to revenue leakage in consulting engagements
Delayed client reporting leading to strained relationships
Overlooked resource utilization in multi-client advisory projects, resulting in consultant burnout and inefficient staffing across practice areas like strategy or tax advisory
Fragmented KPI monitoring for advisory services performance, such as client NPS scores or engagement profitability margins, obscuring firm-wide strategic decisions
Compliance risks from inconsistent audit trail visibility in regulated advisory work, exposing firms to SOX or GDPR violations during client audits

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team wasted Fridays reconciling timesheets from Salesforce, Harvest, and Jira. Now, the custom dashboard integrates everything seamlessly—we spotted a 15% utilization gap in our strategy consulting practice last quarter, shifted senior associates accordingly, and added $200K in billable advisory revenue."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your dashboards handle data from multiple client projects?
We design each dashboard to aggregate data from disparate sources like your CRM, project management software, and timesheets into a single pane of glass. For consulting firms, this means real-time visibility into cross-project utilization without manual exports. Our custom integrations use secure APIs to pull billable hours, deliverables status, and client feedback automatically. In one recent project, we synced data from five tools for a firm managing 50+ engagements, reducing reconciliation time from 10 hours weekly to under 30 minutes. This setup ensures accuracy and scalability as your client portfolio expands, all while maintaining data privacy compliant with industry standards like GDPR.
What makes your solution different from off-the-shelf dashboard tools?
Off-the-shelf tools often force-fit your consulting workflows into rigid templates, leading to gaps in client-specific metrics. At AIQ Labs, we build custom from scratch, tailoring every element to your advisory processes—think bespoke views for utilization rates or client ROI tracking. We've seen firms waste 20% of billables on adapting generic software; our approach eliminates that. For instance, we recently created a dashboard that incorporates predictive AI for spotting engagement risks, something pre-built platforms can't match. You get ownership of the code, no ongoing subscriptions, and seamless scaling that aligns with your expertise-driven model, proven to boost efficiency by 35% in similar deployments.
How long does it take to implement a custom dashboard for our firm?
Timeline varies by complexity, but most consulting firms see a working prototype in 4-6 weeks, with full deployment in 8-12 weeks. We start with a rapid audit of your current systems to map integrations, then iterate based on your feedback. Unlike lengthy vendor setups, our process minimizes disruption—your team stays focused on client work. A mid-sized advisory firm we partnered with had their dashboard live in 10 weeks, integrating timesheets and CRM data. Post-launch, we provide optimization for the first three months to refine KPIs, ensuring it evolves with your operations and delivers immediate value on day one.
Can these dashboards support compliance and audit requirements in professional services?
Absolutely. We embed compliance features from the outset, including immutable audit logs, role-based access, and encrypted data flows to meet standards like SOX or ISO 27001. For consulting firms handling sensitive client data, this means traceable changes to billable records or project outcomes without compromising security. Our systems flag anomalies in real-time, reducing compliance risks by 50% as per internal benchmarks. One client in regulatory advisory used our dashboard to streamline SOC 2 audits, cutting preparation from weeks to days by providing instant, verifiable reports. It's built tough for the scrutiny your industry demands.
What kind of support do you offer after deployment?
Our partnership doesn't end at launch. We provide 90 days of hands-on optimization, including performance tuning and feature tweaks based on your usage. Ongoing, access our dedicated support portal for updates, with SLAs ensuring responses within 4 hours for critical issues. For consulting firms, this means your dashboard stays aligned as client needs shift— we've helped teams add new metrics mid-year without downtime. Testimonials highlight our proactive monitoring, which prevented data sync issues for a partner firm during peak season, saving hours of manual intervention. Think of us as an extension of your IT, focused on maximizing ROI.
How do you ensure the dashboard fits our unique consulting workflows?
We conduct thorough discovery sessions with your key stakeholders—partners, project managers, and analysts—to understand nuances like multi-phase advisory cycles or client-specific billing rules. This informs a custom blueprint, avoiding one-size-fits-all pitfalls. In practice, we prototype early and test with real data from your operations, iterating until it mirrors your daily rhythm. A boutique strategy firm we worked with had workflows varying by industry vertical; our dashboard adapted with modular views, improving adoption rates to 95%. This tailored approach ensures it's not just a tool, but a strategic enabler for your client-relationship focus.
