USER
FRIENDLY

Precursive is intuitive. Sitting within Salesforce the Precursive UI mirrors that of Salesforce.

Precursive customers sell a mix of services and want a tool that works for all their offerings.

Fast and flexible project and task management capabilities are important for teams who managed high volumes of work at speed.

DIFFERENCE IN EXPERIENCE BY INDUSTRY.

KANTATA EXPERIENCE

Some users mention reporting suffers from limitations, particularly for custom reports and dashboards, including a single focus on onboarding and not overall PSA needs.

Users also frequently needed to collate information manually outside the platform. For larger programs of work, it can be difficult to see bookings, revenue, and forecasting in a single view, which makes it harder to manage service delivery effectively.

PRECURSIVE EXPERIENCE

As Precursive is Salesforce native, managing booking, revenue and billings all in once place. On top of this, customers can show the impact of Services teams on ARR and Gross retention.


Services leaders can view not only data but the impact of Services on the business. Precursive supports all services lines; Implementation, Consulting and Managed Services

YOUR SERVICES TEAM SEE THE IMPACT IMMEDATELY.

THE SHOP WINDOW
FOR SERVICES

Extend your Salesforce Experience Cloud support portal to Managed Services Cases, allowing customers to submit and track service requests while also browsing a service catalog for additional support, training, and consulting.


Why It Matters: Make it easy for customers to request services, track SLAs, and explore additional offerings - increasing service adoption and driving incremental revenue without needing sales involvement.





DON'T PITCH THE A-TEAM
AND STAFF THE B-TEAM

Track billable utilization across teams, sync leave data from HR systems like BambooHR and Workday, and ensure projects are staffed with the right people at the right time.


Why It Matters: Keep productivity high, prevent burnout, and optimize resource allocation with a real-time view of demand vs. capacity - so no one is overworked or underutilized.

We previously couldn't really track costs or margins at project level, but only at a department level, so we have much more visibility now. The key metric we focus on is TTV, and we've reduced our av. delivery time by 45 days which is a great start!

What's best about Precursive is its ease of use, especially compared to other tools on the market. The UX is super clean and it's simplicity tying different pieces together, from resource allocation to project milestones, makes it an easy project management tool to use and therefore our adoption of the tool is high. The fact that it's 100% Salesforce native is key.
