Dayshape

Dayshape is resource management software built for professional services firms. It uses AI scheduling to match people to engagements, forecast capacity and keep projects on budget, with a strong base among large accounting firms in the US and UK.

Services

• AI scheduling: an engine called Advise that tests huge numbers of staffing combinations to build teams and lift utilisation.
• Engagement controls: performance limits, alerts on struggling jobs and approval workflows before budgets are signed off.
• Skills and preference matching: records staff skills, qualifications and career goals so work can be assigned fairly.
• Forward planning: multi-year views of demand and capacity to support earlier commercial decisions.
• Offshore resourcing: support for scheduling offshore teams alongside onshore staff.
• Integrations and reporting: connects with a firm's existing systems to remove duplicate entry and produce reports.

Clients

Dayshape serves accounting and other professional services firms. It says almost half of the 20 largest US and UK accounting firms use it, and it was the first to bring AI optimisation to a Big Four firm.
