Dayshape

“Dayshape's flexible configuration makes it so easy to adapt the software for different service line approaches and gives teams the reassurance that there will be a suitable configuration that works for them.”

“We wanted a partner; we didn't just want a supplier and with Dayshape we've had a constant drum beat of interaction to reassure us of our decision.”

“I think it's the partnership with clients that's really critical in terms of keeping that knowledge up to date.”

“Our knowledge of Dayshape is so much better now in terms of all the different configurations that can be supported to meet the different ways of working across teams.”

“Being flexible and not adopting a one-size-fits-all approach has made our full-firm Dayshape implementation a lot easier.”

“It's important to challenge the perception that any resource management tool is always an audit resource management tool, Dayshape has proved that it can work for any service line in terms of setup.”

“I think it's a combination of teams seeing the benefit of using Dayshape and then positive word of mouth spreading that led to our advisory and tax service lines experiencing more of a pull rather than a push change management approach.”

““I would recommend Dayshape and have done to several firms. Working in partnership with Dayshape has been great and mutually beneficial.””

““Part of the reason we picked Dayshape was the economics, being able to track actuals vs budget enables the business to have the data to hand to ensure value is obtained for our team's hard work.””

““From a user experience and therefore adoption point of view, it's been critical that we've been able to demonstrate that with Dayshape we're taking away double keying where we can and instead providing a single source of truth by integrating with other systems and bringing in information which is relevant to resourcing such as leave and study.””

““One of the key reasons why teams want to move to Dayshape is that all holidays are approved in one system, automatically creating a leave booking in Dayshape to show their unavailability. Having that visibility of who's available and who isn't is a key selling point and removes the need for us to go into our HR system.””

““We were previously doing a lot of double keying into multiple systems. This was highly frustrating and distracted from client delivery as well as more interesting development opportunities.””

““People generally stay at our firm because of the c ulture and how much freedom people have when it comes to how and where they work. Dayshape's software has allowed us to enhance this part of our culture even more.””

““It was important for us to communicate that using Dayshape helps to drive positive action, not catch people out. The utilization metrics allow us to ensure fairness, provide better people experiences, and support the firm's financial performance.””

““We woul dn't have been able to get through the pandemic the way we did if we weren't working on a national basis with Dayshape. Having everyone working in the same way allowed us to tap into our international member firm network and quickly mobilize remote support because we could see in our Dayshape overview exactly how much additional capacity we needed and for how long.””

““One of the key things we wanted out of the project was a future-fit system, not just a system for now, and Dayshape offered that with advanced AI functionality.””

“Sometimes you must set the rules for teams to follow. For processes across a large professional services firm, you can't do it on a one-on-one basis because it's too large to do this effectively and efficiently. You strive to treat everybody the same way and having agreed resourcing principles and processes allows for that.”

“We wanted a partner; we didn't just want a supplier and with Dayshape we've had a constant drum beat of interaction to reassure us of our decision. It's great to be able to influence the product with every new release, communication, and suggestion – ultimately curating Dayshape to be the best resource management solution out there.”

“Our knowledge of Dayshape is so much better now in terms of all the different configurations that can be supported to meet the different ways of working across teams. This means we have quite a lot of different setups and we can better advise our service lines when issues arise.”

“Being flexible and not adopting a one-size-fits-all approach has made our full-firm Dayshape implementation a lot easier. It's allowed us to speak to service lines in their language, talk to them about the specific resourcing issues they have, and work to address them with Dayshape.”

“As much as I want to keep Dayshape to ourselves, I've ready recommended Dayshape to a couple of non-UK firms.”

“Retrospective utilization data is not enough. We needed the ability to forecast future utilization to actively predict and address pockets where there is known capacity and over utilization. This information is powerful as it helps us protect our people. We have better visibility and control over this with Dayshape.”

“Engagement economics is another part of the system that really sets Dayshape apart from competitors. I could see how dynamic it was and how quickly we'd be able to see which jobs are tracking to be profitable and which aren't. Having that visibility to inform strategic resourcing decisions will have a huge impact.”

“On seeing the reporting system in Dayshape, I knew that the wider team could easily build, analyse, and share reports with no BI specialist required. It was very refreshing to see how easy that was.”

“In one month, the central resource team filled 2,500 hours by assessing jobs that weren't currently staffed, which is a huge number to find. Would we have been able to do that so effectively had we been without Dayshape and working from spreadsheets? I think that would be highly unlikely.”
