Professional services, intelligently orchestrated
Custom ERP and AI Automation
for Professional Services

Connect clients, engagements, people, documents, deadlines, billing and business intelligence through a system designed around the way your organisation actually works.

AI agents and automation
AI Agents That Support the Work Around Expertise
AI automation for service firms can assist with information, drafting and operational coordination when suitable data, permissions and review processes exist. Rule-based automation moves approved tasks and events through configured workflows.
- Enquiry classification
- Lead prioritisation
- Proposal-draft assistance
- Scope comparison
- Contract obligation extraction
- Conflict and duplicate-record alerts
- Client-onboarding checklists
- Document classification
- Deadline monitoring
- Meeting summaries
- Task suggestions
- Timesheet reminders
- Capacity recommendations
- Invoice preparation
- Payment-follow-up drafts
- Knowledge retrieval
- Service-ticket routing
- Engagement-risk indicators
- Profitability anomaly alerts
- Management-report preparation
- Multilingual communication assistance
Expertise remains accountable to people.
AI supports authorised professionals; it does not replace regulated professional judgement. High-impact decisions require human review. Legal, medical, financial, employment and compliance outputs must not be treated as professional advice without qualified review.
Keep approval history, access controls and audit logs. AI permissions and permitted actions follow the organisation’s operational responsibilities.
Configurable workflow builder
Your terminology. Your delivery model.
Projects, engagements, matters, cases, assignments, campaigns, accounts, work orders, programmes and mandates can follow different operational paths. Try changing the example below.
- New enquiry
- Qualification
- Conflict/compliance check
- Proposal
- Digital approval
- Contract
- Onboarding
- Resource allocation
- Engagement delivery
- Client approval
- Invoice
- Collection
- Renewal
This interactive example illustrates configurable terminology, stages and approvals. Actual checks and required reviews are defined for the practice, jurisdiction and service model.
Client portal
Bring clients into the right part of the workflow.
A configured portal can give authenticated clients access to their permitted information, requests and approvals while respecting client and engagement boundaries.
- Secure login
- Service requests
- Project visibility
- Document exchange
- Approvals
- Appointment booking
- Messages
- Deliverable review
- Invoice access
- Payment status
- Support history
- Feedback
- Renewal requests
Resource and profitability intelligence
Understand capacity, delivery and commercial performance.
Dashboards can bring representative operational data together so authorised teams can assess utilisation, billing and engagement performance. Metrics depend on available records and agreed definitions.
- Billable utilisation
- Non-billable time
- Realisation rate
- Project margin
- Revenue by client
- Revenue by service
- Revenue by office
- Resource availability
- Capacity forecast
- Pipeline value
- Client concentration
- Work in progress
- Unbilled time
- Invoice ageing
- Collection performance
- Retainer consumption
- Scope variance
- Delivery risk
Global operations
Local requirements. A connected organisation.
ERP for service businesses can support distributed teams and multi-entity operations with appropriately scoped access and reporting.
- Multiple offices
- Distributed teams
- Contractors
- Multiple legal entities
- Multiple currencies
- Regional tax configurations
- Local date, time and language settings
- Country-specific documents
- Data-access boundaries
- Approval hierarchies
- Jurisdiction-specific retention policies
Deployment must be configured and reviewed for the relevant jurisdictions. Multi-country support does not automatically establish global legal compliance.

These categories can be integrated where suitable authorised APIs, permissions, commercial access and technical capabilities are available. Discovery determines which connections are feasible.
- Accounting platforms
- Payment gateways
- Banking feeds

- Communication tools
- Cloud storage
- Electronic signatures
- Identity providers
- CRM platforms
- HR and payroll
- Tax systems

Frequently asked questions
Planning a professional services ERP.
What is professional services ERP?
Professional services ERP connects clients, engagements, projects, people, documents, time, billing and reporting in a coordinated operational system. Psyzilla configures the architecture around the organisation’s service model.
What is professional services automation?
Professional services automation, often called PSA software, connects repeatable service-delivery processes such as onboarding, scheduling, approvals, timesheets and billing through defined workflows. AI assistance can be introduced where suitable data and controls exist.
Which professional service businesses can use the system?
The architecture can be adapted for consulting, legal, accounting, engineering, creative, technology, people, knowledge and specialist service organisations. Each practice requires assessment of its workflows, terminology and obligations.
Can one ERP support different service departments?
Yes. Departments can share appropriate client and business data while retaining their own workflows, terminology, permissions and approvals. The implementation defines the boundaries.
Does it support hourly, fixed-fee and retainer billing?
These billing models can be configured alongside milestone, subscription or hybrid arrangements. Rates, taxes, approvals and connected finance services depend on scope and jurisdiction.
Can it manage projects, cases, matters and engagements?
Yes. Records, milestones, documents and responsibilities can be adapted to the terminology and delivery model used by the organisation.
Can clients access a secure portal?
A client portal can provide authenticated access to permitted requests, documents, deliverables, approvals, invoices and payment status. Identity and access controls are defined during assessment.
Can it manage consultants, freelancers and subcontractors?
Resource records, assignments, skills, capacity, time and subcontractor workflows can be configured for internal and external teams with appropriate access boundaries.
Does it support multiple offices, countries and currencies?
Multi-office, multi-entity and multi-currency capabilities can be designed around the operating structure. Tax, retention, localisation and access requirements require review for each relevant jurisdiction.
Can it integrate with our accounting and payment systems?
Systems can be integrated where suitable APIs, permissions and technical or commercial access are available. The specific connections are assessed before implementation.
How can AI agents help professional service firms?
AI agents can assist authorised teams with enquiry classification, drafting, document retrieval, deadline signals, capacity recommendations and report preparation. Available data and human review determine appropriate scope.
Will AI replace qualified professional judgement?
AI supports authorised professionals. Legal, medical, financial, employment and compliance outputs require qualified review, and high-impact decisions remain subject to human approval.
Can workflows be adapted to our terminology?
Yes. Labels, stages, routing and approval hierarchies can be adapted to projects, matters, cases, campaigns, programmes or other practice terminology.
Can existing client and project data be migrated?
Migration can be planned after reviewing source formats, quality, permissions, retention requirements and record relationships. Validation and reconciliation are part of the agreed scope.
Is the platform suitable for independent professionals?
Yes. A focused implementation can start with the client, engagement, document and billing workflows an independent professional needs, with modules introduced as requirements grow.
How does Psyzilla protect confidential client information?
Controls can include secure authentication, role-based access, client or engagement boundaries, approval history, audit logs and appropriate retention policies. Safeguards are selected around the data, risks and deployment requirements.
Can regulated firms use a custom Psyzilla system?
A system can be engineered around a regulated firm’s requirements, subject to assessment and qualified review. Configuration and deployment do not automatically establish regulatory compliance or certification.
How long does implementation take?
The timeline depends on workflow complexity, modules, data migration, integrations, review requirements and rollout scope. Discovery establishes a realistic implementation plan.
Can modules be introduced in stages?
Yes. A modular rollout can begin with priority workflows and add billing, portals, analytics, integrations or AI as the operational foundation is validated.
Can Psyzilla build industry-specific features not listed here?
Yes. Discovery can identify specialised records, workflows, reporting and integration needs. Feasibility, safeguards and scope are agreed before development.
