The hidden cost of spreadsheet allocation
The average consulting firm loses 2.3 hours per consultant per week to manual scheduling conflicts. On a 12-person team, that's 1,436 hours annually — before you count the re-work from double-bookings.
Every engagement gets a live portal. Clients see milestones, budget burn, and deliverable status without a single status-update email. You spend Monday morning reviewing work — not writing it.

Status emails are a liability, not a service
Firms using manual status updates spend an average of 4.1 hours per week per engagement on client communication overhead. At 15 active engagements, that's one full-time role doing nothing but writing emails.
Allocate sends timezone-aware reminders, captures offline mobile entries, and auto-classifies billable vs. non-billable. Your Friday afternoon is no longer a timesheet chase across three continents.

Late timesheets cost more than you think
Every day a timesheet is late delays invoicing by an average of 6.2 days. Across a 15-engagement portfolio, that's $180K–$340K in float cost per year at a 6% cost of capital.
Operations directors get the board deck data they need in one click — not after a two-day Excel marathon. See which engagements are bleeding margin in real time, and act before it's a post-mortem.

The board deck shouldn't take 2 days to build
Operations directors in firms without real-time margin visibility spend an average of 11 hours per quarter assembling data for the board deck. That's time that should be spent analyzing, not compiling.
Allocate connects to the tools your firm already uses — CRM, accounting, communication, and project management — without a six-month implementation. Most teams are live in under 2 hours.
