Pressure points

Key Challenges for Consulting Firms & Advisory Practices

Automation transforms lead management, proposal generation, project delivery, and client communication workflows.

Fragmented Lead & Client Communication

Clients and prospects reach out via WhatsApp, email, phone, and website—leading to missed opportunities, delayed proposals, and inconsistent service quality.

Manual Proposal & SOW Generation

Partners and BD teams spend hours collecting requirements, drafting proposals, and coordinating approvals manually, slowing down sales cycles.

Project Delivery & Timesheet Overload

Repeated questions about project status, deliverables, timesheet submissions, and billing consume consultant time that could be spent on high-value work.

Lead Management Chaos

Inquiries from websites, events, referrals, and partner channels get lost in spreadsheets, with no automated follow-up or qualification workflows.

Knowledge Management Gaps

Case studies, templates, and best practices are scattered across files and systems, making it hard to reuse knowledge and accelerate delivery.

Client Feedback & CSAT Bottlenecks

Consultants manually collect feedback, track CSAT scores, and manage account growth—creating delays in identifying at-risk clients and expansion opportunities.
