6% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

Kantata is a business management software aimed at the professional services industry. This SaaS platform has been designed to meet the needs of a modern workforce, providing services such as employee time tracking, project management, and resource allocation.

The company's purpose-built technology includes a suite of features, such as a resource optimizer that helps managers allocate the right people to the right project for the correct amount of time. It also includes a private social network for users to share information with peers in the industry. Kantata already has several profitable tie-ups with essential business software such as Salesforce, helping it outpace rivals.

As more organizations in professional services invest in resource management solutions, the industry is awash with companies all competing for this business. These include industry heavyweights Basecamp, Zoho Projects, and ClickUp. Born from the merger of Mavenlink and Kimble Applications, Kantata is set to see accelerated growth as it focuses on further development of its comprehensive platform.
