Act 1: The Status Quo
The Contract Staffing Leaks
Why staffing agencies struggle to maintain profitability on IT and non-IT contractor deployments
The Traditional Manual Nightmare
Spreadsheets, lost resumes & painful delays
- ✕Contractor paper/email timesheets arrive 10 days late, delaying client invoices and creating massive cashflow deficits.
- ✕Unmonitored bench overhead burns capital while consultants wait for client onboarding credentials or project allocation.
- ✕Discrepancies between contractor pay rates and client bill rates lead to silent margin erosion of ₹2,000+ per day per consultant.
- ✕Manual calculation of 18% CGST/SGST and 10% Section 194J TDS deductions causes tax audit vulnerabilities.

"Managing 80 C2H contractors on spreadsheets was a monthly nightmare for our finance team. We were losing unbilled hours on every single client. Ascent's C2H Bench OS automated our daily spreads and GST invoicing completely."
