Dayshape

What Dayshape does

Dayshape (legal entity: Dayshape Software Ltd, Scotland, UK — Companies House SC446814) is a privately held SaaS company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Edinburgh, with US bases supporting global operations. It builds an AI-powered resource management platform for large professional services firms — primarily accounting, advisory, consulting, and law — serving enterprises in 55+ countries across six continents. The company's flagship platform unifies operational and financial data and is delivered as a cloud-native service on Microsoft Azure, with named modules including AI-powered scheduling (capable of assessing 50,000 scheduling options per second via advanced suitability scoring), real-time project financials, budgeting and demand capture, Gantt chart scheduling, reports and dashboards, people-first planning, and quality and governance. It also markets a packaged sub-brand, Dayshape Intelligent Staffing, built for Workday users.

The product targets pain points specific to large professional services firms: manual scheduling at scale, fragmented resource visibility, margin erosion on overrun projects, fairness-driven retention risk, and lack of firm-wide data for capacity planning. The platform integrates with Workday, SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics 365, IRIS, Deltek, Flowcase, CCH, OpenHR, and Catalystone, and is distributed primarily through direct enterprise field sales with a 'Book a Demo' motion, a customer success and onboarding programme, and channel partnerships via the Workday marketplace and Microsoft ecosystem (including selection for Microsoft's Agentic Launchpad programme in late 2025).

Go-to-market is content-led and category-creating: a long-form blog, the 'Resource Revolution' podcast (hosted by Christine Robinson, featuring C-suite guests from BDO, EY, Microsoft, RSM, Grant Thornton), gated guides, on-demand workshops, and the annual Elevate conference. Pricing is not publicly disclosed (quote-based, enterprise). The company is founder-led, co-founded by Andrew Bone and Al, with Matt Cockett joining as CEO in March 2024. No external institutional funding rounds, parent company, M&A activity, or revenue figure are disclosed in the available data; headcount sits in the 51–100 band.

Broad incumbents

• Planview: Planview provides portfolio, project, and resource management solutions (including Clarizen) for enterprise and PS organizations, addressing the same capacity planning and project economics use cases as Dayshape at a broader incumbent scale.
• Workday: Workday offers native resource management capabilities inside its HCM/financials suite and serves as both a Dayshape integration partner (Intelligent Staffing packaged solution) and a broad incumbent competitor for enterprise RM budgets.
• Microsoft (Dynamics 365 Project Operations): Microsoft bundles resource management and PSA capabilities into Dynamics 365 Project Operations on Azure, sitting inside the same Microsoft ecosystem Dayshape uses and posing an incumbent-platform risk to standalone RM tools.

Direct peers

• Resource Guru: Resource Guru is a cloud-based resource scheduling and capacity planning tool used by agencies, consultancies, and accounting firms, directly comparable to Dayshape's scheduling and people-first planning modules.
• Float: Float offers resource scheduling, capacity planning, and project budgeting software for agencies and professional services teams, providing a similarly scoped but lighter-touch alternative to Dayshape.
• Replicon: Replicon provides cloud-based time tracking, project, and resource management software targeting professional services and enterprise customers, with comparable scheduling and utilization capabilities.
• Certinia (FinancialForce): Certinia delivers PSA solutions built natively on Salesforce for professional services organizations, covering resource management, project financials, and billing — competing for the same enterprise PS RM wallet.
• Kimble Applications: Kimble offers PSA software for professional services firms including resource management, project accounting, and forecasting — a long-standing direct competitor in the PS resource planning category.
• BigTime Software: BigTime provides PSA, time tracking, billing, and resource management software for accounting and professional services firms, addressing the same resource scheduling and utilization challenges that Dayshape targets.
• Kantata: Kantata (formerly Mavenlink) is a PSA platform purpose-built for professional services and consulting firms, offering resource management, project accounting, and AI-driven optimization — directly overlapping with Dayshape's core use cases for large PS firms.
