Staff every engagement with the right people, not just the available ones
Delivery firms live or die on utilisation. Alloxy shows you who's free, who's quietly overbooked, and what each staffing call does to your margin — across every squad, stack, and client, on one live plan.
Where the margin actually goes
Between engagements, people sit on the bench earning nothing. On a fixed-price build, one quiet overrun erases the margin you sold. The distance between billable and paid is where the profit leaks.
The bench is a cost — an empty seat is worse
Idle time between projects and last-minute scrambles to cover a gap both eat the same margin. You can only fix what you can see coming.
The right skills, not just a free slot
A React role isn't filled by any spare developer. Matching stack, seniority, and domain to the work — across a shared pool feeding several project managers — is guesswork the moment it lives in a spreadsheet.
Your plan and your delivery tools don't talk
Work happens in Jira; resourcing sits in a sheet nobody trusts by Wednesday. Actuals arrive too late to change anything.
How Alloxy helps
Match people to the stack, not the rota
Alloxy reads roles and skills the way you do — a "front-end developer" and a "React engineer" can be the same person for the job — and shortlists the best fit by availability, skill, cost, and who has worked with the client before. The right people surface even when the titles don't line up.
See the margin before you commit the team
Every allocation shows its impact on project margin as you make it. A fixed-price build or a T&M engagement stays profitable while you can still adjust — not at close, when the number is already spent.
Plan the pipeline, not just the sprint
Map deals you're chasing onto capacity months ahead with placeholder allocations. You'll know whether you can staff the next win — or need to hire — before you sign it, instead of on the day it starts.
Resourcing that finally meets delivery
Your plan, connected to where work actually happens.
Log hours in Jira, where your teams already are, and watch them flow straight into Alloxy — actual against planned, real utilisation instead of a guess, true cost against budget. No parallel timesheet, no double entry.
The payoff
Professional services firms run at 65–70% utilisation on average. In a 100-person firm, a single point of improvement is worth €200,000–300,000 a year — and most of it is hiding in your bench and your fixed-price overruns.
