COR

Agencies and consulting firms that lose margin on hours nobody tracked are the audience for COR, a platform for agencies and consultancies that joins timesheets, project work and profit reporting. The vendor says more than 1,000 agencies and consulting firms use it.

Timesheets that fill themselves in

COR uses artificial intelligence to suggest time entries, so the team spends less effort keeping timesheets. The vendor says the same data is used to predict delivery delays and financial losses without interfering with the team's daily work, and that hours needed for each type of deliverable can be estimated.

Sold time against executed time

The profitability side compares the time that was sold or estimated with the time actually worked, broken down by client and by fee. COR also measures rework and the share of hours that generate revenue, and it benchmarks the operation against industry figures, which it states as 70 percent of time billable for each team member.

Capacity and workload

The platform shows each person's real availability in real time, which the vendor presents as a way to avoid overwork and reduce staff turnover.

MAIA, the project management agent

MAIA is described as an AI-powered project management agent. In the example the site shows, it flags a project at risk when actual hours exceed the estimate and offers to adjust the scope or notify the project manager. The company also describes a place to centralize AI agents from several providers with controls over what runs.

Integrations and the team behind the software

Through Zapier, COR connects with more than 4,000 other apps. The company says it is more than software: customer success managers work regionally, with contacts for North America, Asia Pacific and Latin America, and support includes quarterly business reviews, certifications, a learning academy and round the clock help.
