Kantata

Professional services automation for project-based businesses.

Kantata is a professional services automation (PSA) platform designed to connect project delivery, resource management, and financial performance. Rather than adding professional-services features to a general project management system, Kantata is built around the specific operational needs of agencies, consultancies, and other services organizations.

Resource management is a core part of the platform, helping organizations plan capacity, allocate people to projects, track utilization, and align staffing with project requirements. This gives managers greater visibility into how teams are being used and where resource constraints or allocation gaps may affect delivery.

Kantata also connects project activity with budgets, costs, revenue, utilization, and profitability, giving services organizations a more complete view of project and portfolio performance. Integrations with business systems such as Salesforce and Microsoft 365 can further connect project operations with the wider technology stack.

Kantata is particularly suited to mid-size and enterprise professional services organizations where resource allocation and financial performance are closely linked to project delivery. Its specialized PSA focus makes it less relevant for teams looking for a general-purpose project management tool.
