Consulting

Resource management for consulting firms

When employees move between clients, projects, and offices, IT needs to keep up without losing track of devices, licenses, or costs. equipme handles the full resource lifecycle, so you always know what's assigned, what's running, and what it costs.

The Problem

Why IT teams struggle with
‍distributed consultants

Consultants switch projects, change offices, and move on and every time they do, IT has to scramble. Resources scatter, licenses pile up, and onboarding never quite runs smoothly.

No internal shop for resources

Employees expect to request resources the same way they shop online. Without a structured catalog, requests are scattered and IT spends more time fielding questions than managing resources.

Onboarding isn’t fast enough

Without a standardized process, every hire means a fresh round of manual setups, license assignments, and access requests handled differently every time

Nobody knows who has what

When consultants switch projects, laptops and licenses move with them. Devices end up at client sites, software stays active for people who moved on, and IT has no reliable overview.

No cost visibility per project or client

Which resources are running on which engagement? Costs are tracked globally at best and never at the project or client level where they actually matter.

Bad IT setup is a reputation problem

In consulting, first impressions happen at the client site. When a consultant shows up with a slow machine, missing access, or the wrong tools, it reflects on the firm.

The Solution

A modern IT experience, built for the way your team works

equipme brings together asset tracking, employee onboarding, cost allocation, and self-service so your team can focus on the work that actually moves the business forward.

Asset Management

    FAQs

    Managing IT across a distributed consulting team raises specific questions. Here's what IT managers ask us most about.

    Contact Support
    What happens to resources and access when a consultant leaves?

    Offboarding workflows trigger automatically. The consultant receives return instructions, managers see all outstanding resources, and IT keeps full visibility until everything is retrieved and access is revoked. Nothing slips through when someone leaves.

    How do we handle licenses when someone rolls off a project?

    equipme tracks every license against the employee and project assigned to it. When a project ends or a consultant changes roles, you get a clear view of what's still active and what can be reassigned or cancelled. You catch unused licenses before the next billing cycle, not after.

    How does equipme track assets when consultants work at client sites?

    Every asset is assigned to an employee, not a location. When a consultant leaves for a client engagement, the assignment stays active and the asset remains visible in equipme. You see who has it, since when, and when it's due back regardless of where they're working.

    Can we allocate resource costs per project or client?

    Yes. Every resource can be assigned to multiple cost dimensions simultaneously — department, project, and client. Costs update automatically as assignments change, so you always have an accurate picture of what each engagement is actually costing in IT resources.

    Can we build standardized onboarding packages for different roles?

    You can create role-based onboarding bundles that combine hardware, software licenses, and access rights into one requestable package. When a new hire joins, the right setup gets triggered automatically based on their role.
