Our take
Dayshape offers AI-powered resource management software developed to help professional services firms meet profit and growth targets, and client service standards, and offer more rewarding careers for employees. Its features include automated resource scheduling, approval workflows and engagement performance alerts, capacity planning tools, and skills tracking.
Dayshape has 30,000+ global users across 20 countries, including two of the Big Four professional services firms. This is a big coup: competitors are plentiful in this space, especially now that complex hybrid workforces have increased the market appetite for tools to help manage them. As a purpose-built and dedicated solution, Dayshape’s focus on automation, people-first planning, and real-time project financials, gives it an edge against legacy resource management tools.
Dayshape is using its remarkably fast growth (it’s regularly been the fastest-growing Scottish tech company of the year) to continue its global expansion into the US, where the professional services industry includes well over a million different firms.
