Professional Services ERP in Qatar

In services, time is inventory. Utilisation and recovery rate decide profitability, and both need capturing as work happens.

  • Utilisation you can see
  • No unbilled hours
  • Project margin per client
  • Faster invoicing

What we hear before a rollout

The same four problems come up in almost every conversation in this sector.

Time is captured late

Timesheets are filled in on Thursday for the whole week, so accuracy suffers.

Scope creep is unpriced

Extra work is delivered and only noticed when margin disappears.

Expenses are recharged inconsistently

Client-billable costs are missed or absorbed without anyone deciding to.

Utilisation is estimated

Billable versus non-billable is discussed rather than measured.

How ERP supports professional services

Project management

Tasks, milestones and resource allocation.

Projects, task stages, deadlines and resource allocation in one plan.

Timesheets

Time captured against client, project and task.

Time recorded against client, project and task as work happens rather than at week end.

Billing

Fixed fee, time and materials, retainers and milestones.

Fixed fee, time and materials, retainers and milestones all billed from the same records.

Utilisation

Billable versus non-billable by person and team.

Billable against non-billable measured per person and team, not estimated.

Expenses

Project expenses, approvals and client recharge.

Project expenses approved and recharged to the client according to the engagement terms.

Profitability

Revenue against cost per project and client.

Revenue against cost per project and client, so scope creep is visible early.

Where most rollouts start

A first phase usually covers these four, then grows once the team is comfortable.

How we implement it

Professional services ERP in practice: hours, projects and margin per client

Consulting, engineering, legal, accounting and agency firms in Qatar sell hours and outcomes, and their margin is utilisation and realisation. The system links proposal to project to timesheet to invoice: a proposal in CRM becomes a project with a budget, hours and expenses are logged against it, billing follows the contract, whether time and materials, milestones or a retainer, and dashboards show which clients, services and consultants make money.

We implement Zoho for most services firms, with CRM, Projects, Books, Sign and Analytics, live in four to eight weeks, and Odoo for firms that need project costing inside a full ERP with purchasing and payroll. Engagement letters are signed digitally; client portals show progress; VAT invoicing is configured for services including government milestone billing.

Reporting covers utilisation, realisation, work in progress, budget versus actual and margin per project, client and consultant. Consultants' leave, attendance and payroll run in the same suite.

The sector in Qatar

Professional Services ERP in Qatar: what is different here

Consultancies, law firms, engineering offices and accounting practices in Qatar, many licensed through the Qatar Financial Centre, sell time and expertise to government, energy and property clients who expect precise billing and Arabic and English deliverables.

The ERP has to capture time and expenses against engagements, bill fixed-fee, retainer and hourly work, manage multi-entity and multi-currency finance, and report utilisation and profitability per partner and practice.
