Prompt
Are there any professional services ERP vendors that focus on resource planning, time tracking, and project accounting?
Latest observation
Yes. Several professional services ERP / PSA vendors focus heavily on resource planning, time tracking, and project accounting. Common examples include:
Popular vendors
- Deltek – Strong in project accounting, resource management, and time/expense for professional services, AEC, government contracting, and consulting.
- Kantata (formerly Mavenlink + Kimble) – Very focused on PSA: resource planning, project financials, time tracking, utilization, and forecasting.
- Certinia (formerly FinancialForce) – Built on Salesforce; strong in services automation, PSA, project accounting, and resource management.
- NetSuite OpenAir – Good fit for time tracking, resource management, project accounting, and services delivery.
- BigTime – Popular for time tracking, billing, project accounting, and resource planning for service firms.
- Scoro – Combines project management, time tracking, billing, and financials for agencies and consultancies.
- Replicon – Strong time tracking, project costing, and resource management, with broader project/PSA capabilities.
- Planview AdaptiveWork – More project and portfolio focused, but used for resource planning and professional services operations.
If you mean “ERP” in the broader sense
Some vendors are more PSA-first than classic ERP-first, but they overlap significantly with ERP needs for services businesses. In practice, buyers often evaluate:
- PSA-only tools for services delivery and project accounting
- ERP suites with services modules
- Hybrid platforms that cover both finance and delivery
Best-known options by use case
- Best for complex project accounting / government / engineering: Deltek
- Best for services automation on Salesforce: Certinia
- Best for pure PSA/resource management: Kantata
- Best for mid-market time + billing + project ops: BigTime, Scoro, NetSuite OpenAir
