Case Study: Kainjoo Consulting Group achieves 85% increase in billable utilization with Kantata (Mavenlink)

Kainjoo Increases Billable Utilization by 85% with Mavenlink

Kainjoo is a global consulting firm built on a Kaizen mindset that helps regulated industries modernize their brands and operations. As the firm merged its consulting and delivery teams, it struggled with fragmented tools and manual processes (Asana, Gmail, Dropbox, Harvest, Odoo), making it hard to track resource usage across the customer lifecycle; pre‑sales work alone accounted for most lost hours and poor time management was eating roughly half of the company’s margin.

Kainjoo implemented Mavenlink to unify data, dashboards and time-tracking, enabling visibility into billable vs. non‑billable hours, skillset match, and client-facing resource planning. The result: an 85% increase in billable utilization (from ~35–40% to 65%), a 50% improvement in profit margin, and 25% savings on business development costs, plus faster decisions, better hiring, and greater client transparency.
