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.
