Margins are tightening. Customer expectations are climbing. And most MSPs are trying to do more with the same tools, the same headcount, and the same 24 hours in a day. It’s not sustainable.
That’s why profitable growth today requires a new approach that focuses on operational efficiency as a strategic advantage. Nerdio Manager for MSP was built for this moment. By centralizing multi-tenant management, standardizing service delivery, and automating routine work, Nerdio helps MSPs reduce costs, scale service, and protect margins.
Below, we outline three of the most common sources of margin erosion and how Nerdio Manager addresses each one with tangible, proven results.
1. Inefficient tools and processes
The profitability problem
Most MSPs rely on a patchwork of tools to manage customers—jumping between portals, repeating the same steps across tenants, and rebuilding policies with each new environment. This slows down service, increases human error, and burns valuable technician hours on low-value work.
How Nerdio solves it
Nerdio Manager replaces siloed systems with a single interface to manage everything from user provisioning and image deployment to AVD configuration and Microsoft 365 policy enforcement. Built-in automations allow MSPs to standardize and replicate processes across tenants in just a few clicks.
Quantified results
- Up to 95% faster onboarding using reusable templates
- 2+ hours saved per day per admin on AVD management
- Several hours saved per app cycle with centralized deployment
Real-world example
Think Solutions, an Australian MSP, cut onboarding time from weeks to minutes and eliminated tenant-by-tenant policy rebuilding after deploying Nerdio Manager for MSP.

2. Rising technician costs
The profitability problem
Hiring and retaining skilled engineers is more expensive than ever. When senior techs spend their days handling repeatable, manual tasks, MSPs overpay for operational overhead and underinvest in growth-focused work.
How Nerdio solves it
With Nerdio, less experienced technicians can securely complete tasks that used to require expert-level knowledge. No scripting, no tool-switching, and no risk of configuration drift. Role-based access controls and audit trails keep processes secure and compliant.
Quantified results
- 1–2 hours saved per user on provisioning
- Reduced need for senior techs to manage Intune, Entra ID, or backup policies
- Lower training and onboarding time for new hires
Real-world example
Nerdio’s automation and standardization allowed an MSP supporting 1,000+ endpoints to shift routine support to junior staff while enabling senior engineers to focus on revenue-generating initiatives, such as security audits and advanced cloud projects.
3. Uncontrolled cloud spend
The profitability problem
It’s easy to overspend in the cloud, especially when resources are statically allocated, licenses go unused, and usage patterns aren’t visible until after the invoice arrives. These inefficiencies chip away at profitability and make margin forecasting unpredictable.
How Nerdio solves it
Nerdio includes built-in cost controls: auto-scaling for compute and storage, license usage analysis with optimization recommendations, and real-time cost estimators. MSPs can proactively manage tenant costs down to the hour and resource level.
Quantified results
- Up to 80% savings in Azure compute costs during off-peak hours
- 10–30% savings in licensing through automatic usage cleanup
- Greater cost predictability and accuracy in margin forecasting
Real-world example
cubesys used Nerdio to rapidly onboard 4,000 users after a Citrix environment collapsed. The deployment was completed in two weeks, with Azure costs controlled by Nerdio’s auto-scaling engine and cost visibility tools. Post-project, 95% of its AVD clients now run through Nerdio.
The operational advantage MSPs need
When you standardize and automate, you save time and reclaim margin. That’s the foundation of Nerdio Manager for MSP.
