Utilization, project margin, and compliance without spreadsheet chaos
Consultancies live on billable time and clean documentation, then burn both in separate systems for hours, expenses, HR, and licenses. Pistacio brings it all into a single source of truth.
What changes in week one
Three workflows that run differently from the first setup. Everything below is shipped functionality, not a roadmap promise.
Utilization per person and practice
The team utilization report shows billed against available hours, per consultant and per month. Who is under water and where capacity frees up is visible before the forecast wobbles.
Timesheets without the chasing
Weekly manager reviews, monthly close periods with submit and approve, and an approvals inbox on the dashboard instead of reminder emails.
Expenses that leave DATEV-ready
Travel expenses with automatic mileage and German per-diems, receipts attached to the entry, exported as PDF, CSV, or a DATEV-compliant file for your tax advisor.

We run on it ourselves. Every day.
We built Pistacio for our own operations first. Our team has run entirely on it for three months, and five apps went out the door along the way. When something is off, we feel it before you do. And when you write to us, someone who built the product answers.
