How PSA supports project-based businesses – a guide from xperitus

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, technology and smart software solutions play a central role in streamlining processes and enhancing outcomes. Project-based companies face unique challenges that demand tailored solutions. This is where Professional Services Automation (PSA) becomes a game changer.

At xperitus, we help project-based companies optimize their workflows with the PSA solution NetSuite SuiteProjects. In this guide, we’ll tell you how a PSA system can become a critical factor in elevating your business to the next level.

What is a PSA system, and why do you need one?

A Professional Services Automation (PSA) system is specifically designed for service-oriented and project-based companies. It integrates functionalities for project management, resource allocation, time tracking, and billing into a single platform. This enables seamless management of the entire project lifecycle – from planning and execution to reporting and invoicing.

Simplify collaboration with a PSA system

PSA systems streamline collaboration within projects by providing all team members and departments with access to the same information. The benefits include:

• Increased transparency: Everyone can view project status in real-time.
• Faster communication: Changes are recorded immediately and shared with all stakeholders.
• Improved decision-making: Real-time data access makes it easier to act quickly and proactively.

NetSuite’s PSA systems is cloud-based, allowing teams to collaborate effectively regardless of their location.

More efficient planning with the right support

Planning projects is complex, especially when it involves resource allocation and time management. A PSA system can make a significant difference by:

• Providing resource visibility: Monitor available resources in real-time to avoid double bookings.
• Simplifying time tracking: Monitor resource utilization at both individual and group levels.
• Preventing overlaps: Plan multiple projects simultaneously without conflicts.

With a PSA system like NetSuite SuiteProjects, project managers can focus on delivering value instead of resolving administrative challenges.
