Operating overview

What is Operating?

Operating is an AI-enabled professional services automation (PSA) platform for running the business behind complex consulting work. It puts time, people, projects, and money in one place and sits in between the CRM and accounting platform.

Operating is built by former IT services professionals.

Operating does the following:

- Skills-based project staffing & resource planning with timeline views

- Project planning with rate cards, labor costs, and margin & profit forecasting

- Time tracking

- Project health monitoring: margin, profits, project progress, budget burndown

- Revenue recognition: ASC-606 compliant revenue recognition specific to professional services

- Invoice generation and integrations to accounting platforms (QuickBooks & Xero) to close the month.

Operating is design to work with an MCP-first approach: anything you do in the UI, you can do with AI assistants.

We also provide a robust REST API to connect with the rest of your tool stack.
