PIE FOR IT CONSULTING FIRMS
Deliver client value
PAIN. Your consulting firm's margins shrink when clients don’t rehire. You’re stuck hunting for new business. Why? Clients don’t see enough project value.
SOLUTION. Use Pie to land and expand accounts with better planning, execution, and oversight — becoming your clients’ go-to consultancy for better results and lowering your cost of sales.
Build repeatable frameworks.
Common problems with IT engagements is that firms lack tools to capture and scale best practices and vendors keep plans hidden.
Pie’s recipe and AI functions is the solution to help you define your blueprints, frameworks, and processes for each vendor system and client type. Your project leads can then launch new project plans directly from these recipes, saving time and ensuring consistency.
Engage your client.
Collaborating with clients is hard without transparency — it can create trust gaps and friction. PowerPoint slides and old-school project tools often leave clients feeling disconnected.
Pie solves this by connecting your consultants with client teams and sponsors, bringing full visibility and real-time collaboration to everyone. Your project managers can share progress transparently with all stakeholders.
Portfolio views for oversight.
Existing project tools or spreadsheets focus on tasks. They’re fine for small projects, but fall short when your firm manages multiple complex client engagements at once.
Pie makes complex programs easy to plan, execute, and monitor with multi-layered ‘stacked’ projects. The portfolio view gives you real-time oversight across projects, so you can spot risks early, act fast, and keep every client engagement on track.
Manage engagement billings.
Are your project billings clearly forecasted? Without this insight, you risk eroding your engagement profits.
Pie solves this with a project budget section that includes billings data and a Billings Burn-Up Chart. This gives you real-time projections based on the team’s billable hours, entered at task or project level — so you always know where profitability stands.
Close new client deals.
Competing with big firms like Deloitte and Accenture is tough. How do you stand out at the pitch table?
Close more deals by showcasing your proven methods in Pie, backed by client success stories. Your visual frameworks demonstrate exactly how your firm delivers value that rivals can’t match.
