About NW3 Services

NW3 Services is an IT consultancy and digital transformation partner supporting organisations across Australia. Their team delivers technical consulting, business transformation and digital solutions that help clients modernise processes and deliver better outcomes.

As the business grew, NW3 needed a better way to understand who was over- or under-utilised, plan upcoming work and ensure every consultant’s time was captured accurately.

The challenge -
limited visibility and
manual effort

Before Ponyrider, NW3 relied on Xero Projects and spreadsheets to track consultant time and manage allocations.

This led to several challenges:

  • Difficulty identifying under- or over-utilisation.
  • Consultants lacked visibility of their own assignments.
  • Time tracking errors slowed invoicing.
  • Reporting required manual updates across multiple sources.
  • Limited insights made planning harder and risked lost revenue.

The team needed a simple, connected way to surface insights quickly and support more reliable, efficient operations.

The solution - clarity in

one platform

NW3 chose Ponyrider because it provided all the features they needed in one streamlined platform.




"Whereas other solutions offered some of the features we needed to be operationally effective, Ponyrider ticked all the boxes."
