Dayshape

“"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."”

““I have recommended Dayshape to another area of our business and previously to colleagues within the Moore Global network.””

““We’re looking forward to utilizing skills-based scheduling and work preferences to not only deliver for our clients, but also provide an enhanced, more enjoyable experience for our people here at Moore Kingston Smith.””

“"Making data-led decisions and analysing efficiencies is very beneficial."”

““Dayshape provides the insight and evidence we need to challenge people to make more informed resourcing decisions."”

““We can flag utilization issues much earlier in the planning stages and reduce the risk of individuals being overburdened or clashes occurring.””

““We love the interface, it’s a dream to use. It is so easy to create and adjust our resource plans."”

““With Dayshape we have a solution that is not just fit for now but fit for the future.””

“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.”

“We did look at other large platforms within the resource management space, but these alternatives were not on par with what Dayshape had to offer.”

“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 had to spent quite a lot of time with the operations leads and engagement managers in audit to reassure them that the new process of requesting resource through Dayshape ensured that work was fairly allocated.”

“For managers it was a big adjustment to have to go into Dayshape and put in their requirements and have less say in who is assigned to them.”

“The biggest challenge with centralization was aligning ways of working and sharing resources across operating units and locations.”

“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. 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.”

“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. 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.”
