See How Firms Like Yours Succeed with ArionERP
We partner with professional services firms to solve their most pressing operational challenges. Explore how we've helped them improve profitability, streamline operations, and drive growth.
The Challenge: Inaccurate Forecasting and Underutilized Talent
Strategy Partners was growing fast, but their reliance on spreadsheets for resource planning was causing major issues. Projects were frequently understaffed or staffed with the wrong skill sets, leading to delays and decreased profitability. They had no reliable way to forecast future resource needs, making hiring decisions a guessing game.
Our Solution: Integrated Resource Management & Project Accounting
- Deployed ArionERP's central resource pool with skills and availability tracking.
- Implemented the project accounting module to link sales pipeline data to resource forecasts.
- Created real-time utilization dashboards for practice leaders.
- Automated the process of matching project requirements with consultant skills.
The Challenge: Revenue Leakage from Complex Billing
Pixel Perfect's manual invoicing process was error-prone and time-consuming. They struggled to accurately bill for out-of-scope work on retainers and often forgot to invoice for smaller, one-off projects. This revenue leakage was invisible but was significantly impacting their bottom line.
Our Solution: Automated Time Tracking & Contract-Aware Invoicing
- Configured ArionERP's billing engine to handle their mix of retainer and project-based contracts.
- Rolled out the mobile time tracking app, making it easy for the team to log hours against specific tasks.
- Set up automated invoicing rules that generated client-ready invoices for review.
- Created alerts for unbilled time and expenses to prevent future leakage.
The Challenge: Disconnected Systems and Poor Client Visibility
SecureTech used a separate CRM for sales, a project management tool for delivery, and a ticketing system for support. This created data silos, forcing manual data re-entry and making it impossible to get a single, 360-degree view of a client's health, history, and profitability.
Our Solution: A Unified, End-to-End Platform
- Replaced their disparate systems with ArionERP's integrated CRM, Project Management, and Helpdesk modules.
- Automated the "proposal-to-project" workflow, creating projects directly from signed quotes.
- Consolidated all client communication, project milestones, and support tickets into a single client record.
- Built a comprehensive client profitability dashboard combining data from all modules.

Frequently Asked Questions
While accounting software tracks money and PM tools track tasks, ArionERP does both and connects them. It's a single system that links your projects, people, and financials. This means you can see the real-time profitability of a project, not just whether it's on schedule. It eliminates the double-entry and data silos that cause errors and blind spots when using separate, disconnected tools.
Not at all. In fact, implementing a scalable system like ArionERP when you're small is the best way to build a foundation for profitable growth. Our modular approach and flexible pricing mean you start with only what you need. You'll avoid the painful "spreadsheet chaos" that plagues most growing service firms and establish best practices from day one.
It varies based on complexity, but it's faster than you might think. Our 'QuickStart' package for smaller firms can have you live in as little as 4-6 weeks. More complex enterprise rollouts might take 3-6 months. Our focus is always on a phased approach that minimizes disruption to your client work and delivers value quickly.
Yes. While ArionERP has a built-in CRM module, we understand many firms have a deep investment in their existing systems. We offer robust API and pre-built connectors for major platforms like Salesforce, HubSpot, and others. Our goal is to create a seamless flow of information from lead to project to invoice, regardless of your preferred tools.
We offer comprehensive training tailored to different user roles (e.g., project managers, consultants, finance team). This includes live sessions, on-demand video tutorials, and a detailed knowledge base. Post-launch, you'll have access to our expert support team through various plans to ensure you're always getting the most value from the system.
We take security extremely seriously. ArionERP is hosted on world-class cloud infrastructure (AWS/Azure) that meets top industry compliance standards like SOC 2 and ISO 27001. Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and we employ rigorous access controls and regular security audits to ensure your sensitive client and financial information is always protected.
