Overview

Precursive is a professional-services-automation (PSA) platform built 100% natively on Salesforce, aimed at services-led B2B organizations -- consulting firms, software implementation teams, and customer-success or managed-services groups -- that need to plan, resource, and financially track delivery work. It converts Salesforce opportunities and CPQ quotes directly into scoped delivery projects, then manages resourcing, timesheets, expenses, and revenue recognition against them from inside Salesforce.

The platform groups its capabilities into project management (templates, Gantt/Kanban views, baseline tracking), resource management (skills-based Magic Assign allocation and capacity forecasting), revenue management (ASC 606 / IFRS 15-aligned recognition and forecast-vs-actual reporting), time and expense capture, and a Customer Workspace portal built on Salesforce Experience Cloud that gives clients direct visibility into their own project. Precursive AI layers a set of named agents -- Services Sales, Services Delivery, Handover, Methodology, and Services Demand -- across this workflow to flag project risk, draft kickoff briefs, check methodology adherence, and surface upsell signals.

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in London with additional offices in the US and Poland, Precursive has been a Salesforce ISV partner since 2013 and is listed on the Salesforce AppExchange with 60 reviews averaging 4.75 out of 5. Its finance/ERP integrations connect delivery data to NetSuite, SAP, Sage, QuickBooks, and Xero for billing and revenue recognition, and its published customer list includes PagerDuty, LaunchDarkly, Camunda, Visa, and Degreed.
