With the Insights release, our team creates more and more Liveboards for your firm to use. Look at the prebuilt Liveboard below to find out more! If you'd like more training on Insights in general, please visit this link.

This liveboard includes realization by service items and clients and profitability metrics. This means it considers the true cost of labor based on hours billed and the given salaries.

Firm stakeholders need the ability to track employee performance at more granular levels. This report not only allows firms to see changes but also includes live data. There's no need to pull a report every time you need it and then wait for the data to load. To go even further, using scheduled reports helps you stay on top of this data and spend less time crunching numbers.

Realization displays as a percentage and measures how much is billed compared to what was billable. What was billable is based on the set rates for the team member or service.

A realization % of 100 or higher tells you that your firm realized what was expected from your services. Any percentage lower than 100 means your firm did not realize the full amount as expected from your services. This could be because of write-downs or other factors.

This liveboard also includes profitability metrics, which take into account the true cost of labor based on hours billed. Team member salaries are taken from Canopy settings to calculate their hourly cost of labor.

An example of this is from a client level. Sort the client profitability report to show clients with the lowest profit margins and realization. You'll then see a list of clients for whom you should stop services. It means you stop doing work for customers who don't help you make a profit. You can also look at the users on your team and see who is doing the best job at making money. Then, you can have them focus on the types of jobs that make the most profit. It's like putting your best people on their best tasks that then help your firm make the most money.
