VOGSY outperforms Kantata SX in scaling speed and cost
The platform engineering consultancy scaled to 5 countries and 150+ employees in 18 months.
As former Kimble (Kantata SX) users, the team knew its capabilities. And also its limitations in cost-efficiency, ease of adaptability, and customer partnership.
VOGSY delivered immediate and measurable operational improvements, creating the central backbone ClearRoute needed to manage its global business from a single source of intelligence.

What is VOGSY, and who is it built for?
VOGSY is a lead-to-cash platform combining PSA and project-based ERP for professional services organizations — consulting firms, technology services companies, agencies, and similar project-driven businesses. It's designed for firms with 50 to 1,000 employees that operate across multiple regions or legal entities and need both operational coordination and financial structure in a single system. If your organization is managing delivery, resourcing, billing, and financial reporting across separate tools or across borders, VOGSY is built around that problem.
How is VOGSY different from a standard PSA platform?
Most PSA tools cover the delivery side — resourcing, time tracking, utilization — but stop short of the financial layer. VOGSY adds multi-entity project accounting, consolidated financial reporting, and revenue recognition across currencies and legal entities. Organizations that have outgrown a standalone PSA but aren't ready to rebuild around a full ERP typically find VOGSY occupies exactly that position: operationally capable, financially structured, and deployable without a multi-year implementation.
Does VOGSY replace our existing accounting systems?
No. VOGSY connects to the regional and local accounting systems organizations already use — QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, NetSuite, Exact, Datev, and others — and acts as the operational and financial intelligence layer above them. Project data, billing, and performance reporting flow through VOGSY; statutory accounting stays where it is. This is particularly relevant for multi-entity firms running different accounting systems across countries, which is a common situation VOGSY is specifically designed to accommodate.
We operate across multiple countries and legal entities. Can VOGSY handle that?
That's the primary use case. Multi-currency project accounting, consolidated reporting across entities, and global resource planning are native capabilities, not configuration workarounds. Firms managing delivery teams, billing, and financial reporting across regions — while needing a single view of utilization, margins, and forecasts — are the organizations VOGSY is built around.
How does VOGSY approach AI, and what does it actually do in practice?
VOGSY's AI assistant is built on Google's Vertex AI and Gemini infrastructure and operates within the same role-based access controls that govern the rest of the platform — so it surfaces only what each user is permitted to see. In practice, that means operations, finance, and delivery leads can query project profitability, resource capacity, and client health in natural language without manually building reports. VOGSY holds ISO 42001 certification for AI management systems, providing an auditable governance framework rather than a marketing claim.
