By audience

Architecture

• Architecture firms run the studio like a portfolio — each project's fee budget, staff allocation, and billable hours tracked in one place instead of spreadsheets.
• Principals watch planned-vs-actual hours per project to catch design phases running over fee before they erode profit.
• Resource planning shows which architects and drafters are over- or under-allocated across concurrent commissions.

Civil Engineering

• Engineering consultancies assign engineers across concurrent civil projects and forecast team capacity.
• Every engineering hour is tied to a project budget and cost code for billing and utilization reporting.
• BI dashboards report utilization, realization, and project margin across the engineering practice.

Project Manager

• Build Gantt schedules and a WBS for each engagement and track task progress and dependencies.
• Assign and level resources across projects, spotting who is overbooked before committing to deadlines.
• Monitor budget-vs-actual and billable-vs-non-billable hours to keep engagements profitable.

Accounting & Finance

• Turn approved timesheets and expenses into client invoices and track revenue against project budgets.
• Forecast revenue and cash flow from the project pipeline and resource plan.
• QuickBooks integration syncs invoices and financials to the firm's accounting system.

By phase

Concept & Planning

• Scope new engagements — set fee budgets, cost codes, and milestone schedules before work begins.
• Staff the project by checking team availability and allocating architects/engineers to the plan.

Design

• Track progress of design tasks and deliverable milestones against the schedule.
• Capture designer/engineer timesheets against project budgets to monitor burn during design.
• Surface budget overruns on design phases early via planned-vs-actual dashboards.
