EDINBURGH, Scotland, July 18, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Dayshape, a software company using AI to power professional services growth, welcomes Bennett Thrasher as a live customer. Bennett Thrasher, a firm known for its bold curiosity, has chosen Dayshape to support the firm’s objective to drive efficiencies through advanced resource management.
Matt Cockett, newly appointed CEO of Dayshape, shared: “We are delighted to welcome Bennett Thrasher to Dayshape and we’re looking forward to working with the team to bring about some significant improvements in resourcing. We can already see how the collaboration will make a massive impact on the business.“
Bennett Thrasher, with over 500 professionals operating globally from headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, was previously using a system with limited scheduling functionality, requiring multiple screens to see all the information needed to make decisions. In addition, traits were absent from this software, which meant certain individuals in the team were heavily relied upon to provide this information instead of doing billable work. Consequently, the firm often faced unnecessary benching of resources leading to negative impacts on utilization and realization.
Tom Quinn, Chief Financial Officer at Bennett Thrasher, shared: “Amateurs throw people at problems; professionals throw technology at problems. We just needed to find the right solution to improve our inefficiency problem and I’m confident we’ve found it in Dayshape.”
With Dayshape, Bennett Thrasher will benefit from full visibility of resource capacity and availability all in one place through Dayshape’s seamless integrations. The software also boasts much more comprehensive scheduling functionality, such as flexible booking lengths, to more accurately show resource capacity.
Further, Bennett Thrasher will experience the power of Dayshape’s two AI scheduling modes, Assist and Advise, to optimize resource allocation using traits in Dayshape. This allows the firm to not only consider current skills, certifications, and work experience of resources when allocating work but also work preferences, utilization rates, and whether the resource has already been given a task on a specific engagement.
Tom Quinn added: “Dayshape AI will take the heavy lifting from scheduling by surfacing suggestions and opportunities that enable us to make choices capably and efficiently, unlocking utilization and realization. The integration with Star further bolsters efficiency, particularly when it comes to reporting.”
