What does building a Consulting Management app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Frequently asked questions about Consulting Management apps

Can we track both fixed-fee and time-and-materials engagements?+
Yes — each engagement is configured with its billing model. Fixed-fee engagements track milestone completion and budget burn, while T&M engagements track hours against rate cards. Both feed into the same profitability analysis.
How does the staffing view work?+
Partners and staffing managers see a capacity grid showing each consultant's current and upcoming assignments with utilization percentages. They can filter by skill, seniority, and availability window to find the right person for a new engagement.
Can clients access project status through the app?+
We can build a client-facing portal with read-only access to project milestones, deliverable status, and upcoming meeting agendas — keeping clients informed without creating extra status reporting work for your team.
How do we measure engagement profitability?+
The app calculates profitability per engagement using logged hours, consultant cost rates, and billed amounts. Partners see margin analysis at the engagement, client, and practice-area level.
Can the app support subcontractor management?+
Yes — subcontractors are tracked as a separate resource type with their own rate cards, availability, and compliance documentation. Their time and expenses flow into engagement cost calculations alongside internal staff.

Their responsiveness to our needs was exceptional.
