Turnkey Technologies professionals have the know-how to boost profitability for Professional Services companies.
It's not easy to track resources, manage schedules, deliver quality services, meet deadlines, and bill accurately. We live and breathe professional services ourselves, so we know all too well the challenges of providing efficient services and managing every detail. And like you, we understand how essential it is to keep projects on time and within budget to meet customer expectations.
​
That's why we offer best-of-breed Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP, next-gen software that works seamlessly with familiar Microsoft tools like Outlook, Word, Excel, and MS Project.
​
Our skilled consultants will find out how your people do their work and make the software work for you, not the other way around. Best of all, we not only know how the software works, but we know industry best practices to help you get more work done.

Top Industry Challenges
1.
Lack of project visibility – the need to view project profitability, budget to actual, and resource usage in real-time
2.
Managing complex billing – it's not easy meeting customer billing expectations without the capability to manage:
-
multiple customers for one project
-
fixed price billing
-
time and materials billing
-
coordinating WIP review, markup, and adjustments across teams
-
multiple projects on the same invoice.
-
combine different resource rates and billing methods, often within a single project or project phase
3.
Utilizing resources – lack of consolidated views means you may under or overutilize resources. Matching skilled resources with the right competencies and availability for a project is critical for quality service.
4.
Meeting budget and time constraints – taking corrective actions without a clear picture of real-time progress is difficult.
5.
Managing complex dependencies – the process of recognizing, anticipating, and managing dependencies between tasks, people, processes, and systems. Without automation tools, this becomes a daunting task.
