Provus and Kantata Announce Strategic Partnership to Solve Revenue Leakage in Professional Services
Integrated solution connects sales estimation to project execution, empowering services organizations to deliver faster, with greater accuracy and margin control
San Jose and Irvine, California— November 17, 2025 — Provus, a leading provider of AI-powered services estimation, pricing, and quoting solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Kantata, a provider of professional services automation (PSA) software. This partnership addresses a critical challenge in the professional services industry: margin erosion caused by disconnected systems, manual processes, and delayed project execution.
Designed to close the gap between sales and delivery teams, the Provus and Kantata integration eliminates costly, manual handoffs across CRM, CPQ, and PSA systems and enables organizations to move from quote to execution with full operational control. Once a quote is approved in Provus, detailed project structures including work breakdowns, resourcing, and budget constraints are automatically generated and transferred into Kantata. Project data from Kantata also flows back into Provus, powering continuous improvement of future estimates and pricing accuracy.
“Margin leakage starts the moment a deal is signed and only accelerates with every handoff,” said Stawan Kadepurkar, CEO of Provus. “Our partnership with Kantata eliminates that friction by connecting quoting directly to project execution giving organizations a smarter way to deliver with full margin visibility.”
The Provus and Kantata integration has the potential to deliver measurable financial impact for services organizations, helping improve pricing accuracy and margin control, increase operating profit with better resource utilization, and accelerate cash flow by streamlining billing and reducing Days Sales Outstanding.
“This partnership bridges a critical gap that has long challenged services organizations,” said Vikas Nehru, CTO of Kantata. “By combining Provus’s AI-driven quoting precision with our professional services automation platform, we’re giving teams the ability to move from estimation to delivery without losing time, margin, or momentum. It’s a smarter, faster way to operate and a necessary step forward for firms looking to scale profitably.”
This joint offering is designed for high-growth PSOs, consulting divisions, and enterprise delivery teams. Learn more about the Provus and Kantata partnership at https://www.provusinc.com/kantata/
