Same source data
Utilization vs. billing
staffing, time, and billing share one project model

Services firms running staffing in one tool, time tracking in another, and billing in a third almost always find utilization numbers that do not match what actually got billed. TrackElan’s PSA capability keeps resource staffing, project time entry, and client billing on the same WBS-based project structure, so utilization, realization, and billable revenue calculate from one consistent dataset.

Because it shares the underlying project and finance model with the rest of TrackElan, a services firm gets project profitability reporting without stitching together three separate systems every month.
