Factor AE, an intuitive platform for firm management, is designed specifically for architecture, engineering, and construction companies. It streamlines project tracking, time entry and invoicing as well as overall firm visibility. It allows firms the ability to break down projects in fixed fee, hourly and non-billable stages, allowing for detailed employee time and budget monitoring at any level. The platform allows for sub-consultant tracking and expense tracking to be included in project fees, or separately, but without compromising the invoice's simplicity. Factor AE allows firms to create milestones, set timelines, assign tasks and schedule resources. This ensures client deadlines are met, while optimizing resource usage. It provides a quick look at project status, allowing comparisons of budgets, schedules, and actuals by phase. Revenue forecasting is also possible, as well as proactive adjustments to prevent minor problems from escalating.
