### VOGSY

Lead-to-cash platform for global professional services organizations, combining PSA capabilities with project-based ERP to manage operations and financial performance. VOGSY is a Professional Services Automation (PSA) and project-based ERP platform designed for global professional services organizations that need to manage the full lead-to-cash lifecycle, including sales opportunities, project delivery, resource planning, project accounting, invoicing, and financial performance in a single operational system. The platform helps consulting firms, agencies, technology services companies, and other project-based businesses coordinate work across teams, offices, and countries while maintaining visibility into operational and financial performance.

The platform integrates operational data with financial insights, enabling leadership teams to track utilization, forecast revenue, and analyze project profitability across multiple entities and currencies. VOGSY combines the operational capabilities of PSA software with multi-entity project finance and reporting capabilities of a project-based ERP, enabling organizations to manage both delivery and financial performance. VOGSY is commonly used by professional services firms with 50 to 1,000 employees that operate across multiple regions or legal entities. These organizations often face challenges managing global delivery, aligning project execution with financial reporting, and maintaining visibility into margins and capacity across distributed teams.
