Case Study: The Idea Consultants achieve scalable growth and improved resource management with TMetric

How TMetric is helping The Idea consulting agency to scale

The Idea Consultants, a multidisciplinary consulting firm focused on profitable social-impact projects, was struggling to scale because they lacked reliable data on how many man-hours were spent on pro‑bono versus for‑profit work. After trying several tools, they selected TMetric’s time-tracking solution (including its mobile app) for its integrations with Trello and G Suite, ease of onboarding, and affordable pricing.

Using TMetric, The Idea Consultants created a formal resource‑management system and working ratio for pro‑bono versus paid work, uncovered three months of unbilled hours when two extra consultants had been used, charged the client appropriately and increased topline revenue. TMetric’s mobile and integrated tracking also boosted team satisfaction, helped staff monitor daily progress, shortened task completion times, improved decision-making and contributed to higher revenue and lower costs; the agency renewed the service after five months.
