Run and scale your professional services business with confidence

In today's rapidly changing market, professional services firms navigate challenges like unpredictable project profitability, inefficient resource utilisation and managing cash flow. Addressing these effectively is key. As certified implementation partner and active users of Certinia, Gen25 offers real-world insight to help firms gain clarity, control and impact, providing solutions for these core issues.

Our work with Certinia in practice 

At Gen25, we identified challenges within our project and resource management processes that made it difficult to efficiently track projects, consultant availability and resource allocation. There was no single centralised view for allocating resources to projects, nor a unified overview accessible to all departments, resulting in siloed ways of working and limited operational visibility.

To address this, we required a solution capable of supporting our end-to-end operations: from project and financial management to timesheet tracking, forecasting and skills management, while also providing greater insight into project performance. Our primary objective was clear: ensuring we always have the right people available to successfully deliver the projects we sell.

This led to the implementation of Certinia PSA, a Salesforce-native solution that provides end-to-end visibility across the entire project delivery lifecycle within one integrated platform. By bringing sales, delivery and finance together in a single environment, Certinia enabled stronger collaboration, more accurate forecasting and improved operational alignment across the business.

As a result, Gen25 significantly improved resource planning, consultant utilisation tracking and budget management, while gaining greater operational control and more efficient project delivery processes across all departments.
