Professional services automation is what differentiates the “good” service-company from the “OK.” Using professional services automation (PSA) software, your company can make your interaction with the clients much smoother for both parties.
What is Professional Services Automation?
As a professional, you can’t really automate your consultation session with a client. With the right software, you can, however, automate your inner workings as an organization, making it much easier to communicate with your team or clientele. Professional Services Automation software (PSA software) helps you and your team to stay on track when managing complex workflows.
If you’re a service-based company, chances are, the work you do has a lot of repeatable processes. Client onboarding, for example, is something you do on a regular basis. It’s also something very critical for your business – if you mess this up, you might end up losing a client.

And to put the icing on the cake, your clients will thank you for using PSA software, as it allows them to keep track of the project online. Rather than having to exchange status-update emails weekly, they can just check which step you’re on and whether their involvement is necessary, online.
Use Cases You Can’t Afford to Overlook
At Tallyfy, we turn to our clients for their stories about professional services automation – and they’ve given us overwhelmingly positive feedback. We take a closer look at professionals who have discovered the benefits of service automation using our cloud-based software.
A Digital Strategy Consulting Firm and Service Process Automation
Designing highly efficient, repeatable processes that work for a business and its clients is only the beginning of service improvement. Once you have a process, you need to ensure that your staff is following it correctly and that it works as well as you expected it to.
After looking at all the available options, Digital Prism Advisors chose Tallyfy to help the company achieve an even higher-quality service than it already offered. COO Len Gilbert says that the firm now uses Tallyfy to automate the service process as well as HR processes such as onboarding and business development initiatives.
He likes the fact that Tallyfy offers the functionality to help his firm achieve what it set out to do, and he says that its ease of use is among the reasons why Digital Prism Advisors chose it. Gilbert is very pleased with the results achieved and says he would recommend using Tallyfy in almost any business and to manage almost any process.
And Online Legal Enterprise Abandons CRM, Achieves Faster, More Efficient Service
As an online business, Effective Immigration Consulting was already riding the tech wave before it adopted Tallyfy. Although it had been using Customer Relations Management (CRM) software, it didn’t integrate well with other collaborative tools. The result, says business manager Maria Alfaro, was processes that were “all over the place.”
After examining dozens of alternatives, the business was preparing itself for the costly and time-consuming business of developing its own process automation software – but then Alfaro discovered Tallyfy.
The results were all that he had hoped for and more. The company has cut immigration process times from several weeks to less than one week. Alfaro attributes this to the organized way in which his company is able to do business using Tallyfy. He especially likes the conditional logic that allows him to easily set up processes that may follow differing workflows depending on certain variables.
