Case Study: Tribal Group achieves faster, more accurate forecasting and better decision-making with Kimble Applications

Tribal Group Plc - Customer Case Study

Tribal Group Plc, a global supplier of software and services for educational institutions, had outgrown an in‑house Microsoft Dynamics–based system that lacked remote access and left data scattered across multiple locations. Seeking a single, professionally designed professional services automation solution, Tribal selected Kimble Applications (Kimble, native to Salesforce) to provide a flexible, centrally accessible platform.

Kimble Applications ran a pilot in APAC and rolled the solution into the department in May 2015, consolidating timesheets, expenses and invoicing with 24/7 access. As a result, forecasting moved from days of juggling spreadsheets to a quick weekly process, project margin visibility improved, expense reporting became timelier (smoothing financial peaks and troughs), and cross‑team collaboration with sales improved — measurable operational benefits driven by Kimble Applications' PSA platform.
