How much does a resource management tool cost and what ROI can you expect?

What ROI can you expect from a assignment project?

To illustrate the benefits of using assignment, let's take the example of a fictitious company. Let's call it ConsultHub.

‍

ConsultHub is a consulting firm employing a large number of consultants. In order to better manage the allocation of resources (in particular personnel), the company decided to invest in a solution of assignment. 

‍

Thanks to this resource management software,IT services companies can identify a mismatch between skills and assignments or opportunities. The solution highlights a lack of DevOps expertise. Rather than recruiting externally, ConsultHub provides targeted training to upskill teams. A double gain: in competitiveness and in talent retention. 

‍

This enables the consultancy firm to be more efficient in its resource management: every euro spent is more judiciously allocated, for a higher ROI. This is how ConsultHub achieves a better margin:IT services companies anticipates its needs six months in advance and avoids three costly recruitments, preferring to reallocate consultants to the right projects. 

‍

Improving resource management and overall efficiency has a tangible impact on customer satisfaction and employee retention: consultants get assignments that match their skills and professional ambitions, and customers appreciate receiving deliverables on time. 

‍

But how does ConsultHub measure the ROI and profitability of its investment in a assignment solution?

‍

Thanks to the tool itself, which provides detailed KPIs tailored to your resource management needs and objectives (occupancy rate, customer satisfaction, turnover, etc.).

‍

As you can see from ConsultHub 's example, a resource management tool is synonymous with cost reduction andincreased operational efficiency, by eliminating the most common resource management errors. 

‍

However, you need to be clear about the investments you'll need to make to equip yourself with such a solution. 

What investments are needed for a assignment a successful

‍

Several investments of varying sizes are required: 

‍

• Initial costs: the purchase of a license or monthly/annual subscription represents the most significant financial investment. Additional costs can be added according to your needs, for example if you need to customize the tool. 
• Operational costs: in addition to subscription fees, think about maintenance (regular updates) and technical support. 
• Time investment: training is often required to set up the solution, and regular sessions may be necessary to integrate new functionalities and best practices. Some resource management tools (such as Napta) have the advantage of being intuitive and quick to learn, which minimizes training time. 
• Scaling costs : as your IT services companies grows, it includes more consultants, more missions, more processes, etc., etc... Upgrading the tool can generate additional expenses here too. 

‍

In order to invest the right amount for your needs and budget, it's advisable to turn to a tool with progressive pricing. Such is the case with Napta. 

‍

We offer 5 stand-alone modules (assignment , performance management, appraisals, etc.) which you can combine to create the most appropriate solution. 

‍

The final price depends on the modules you choose and the number of users. The price of our solution therefore varies from a few euros to several dozen euros per month and per user.  

‍

To remember

‍

The adoption of a assignment tool is an essential strategic step for the resource management of your IT services companies or consulting firm. 

‍

Such a solution creates a better match between consultants' skills and assignments, optimizes costs and, ultimately, delivers a high ROI.

‍

But to take full advantage of these benefits, companies need to be aware of the various investments associated with implementing such tools, such as initial costs, time spent on training and other additional expenses. 

‍

We therefore advise you to opt for a scalable solution, such as Naptawhich ensures constant adaptation to changing needs, thus guaranteeing excellent value for money.
