Job Costing & Planning In Seconds
CMAP takes the time and hassle out of job costing, allowing you to create fee estimates in just a few clicks.
It's flexible, too:
Mix top-down (percentage-based, price per square ft/m, etc.) and bottom-up (resource-driven) approaches in the same project.
Use different fee types for each of your stages. For example, use fixed fee for core deliverables and time charge for variations - whatever you need.
What's more, it's equipped to handle running and billing the project in whichever currency is required.
Live Project Performance Tracking
CMAP pulls live timesheet, personal expenses and purchase invoice data to drive real-time Budget vs. Actual reporting.
Real-time awareness enables you to identify poor performing projects and take action (adjust resourcing, negotiate additional fees, etc.) before it's too late.
Over time, CMAP's report suite helps you to understand where your projects are profitable - or not - and gives you the tools to learn, adapt and scale.
Resource Planning Made Simple
CMAP's resourcing reports make sure you have an accurate view of current and future demand, and whether or not you have the capacity to deliver it.
The resourcing tools make it a breeze to add the right people to the right projects - based on skill, role, cost and availability.
Changes immediately update financial projections, so you're aware of their impact as you make them.
There's more; resourcing data can be used to drive revenue forecasting, which will please your finance team too!
The Workload Schedule
CMAP's Workload Schedule tool enables you to make quick changes with a simple drag and drop.
You can even resource within the tool, rather than within the project itself, and make changes to the allocation such as extending the time frame.
It's further supported by CMAP's skills and attributes tools, helping you to home-in on the right people in your resource pool.

CMAP for Outlook
The add-in enables you to:
- Complete and submit your timesheets.
- Request and manage time off.
- Complete CRM activities and schedule new follow-up activities.
- View existing leads and opportunities and create new ones - without having to leave Outlook.
- Save copies of emails against contacts, as well as against specific leads and projects.
- View Company and Contacts data from CMAP in Outlook and create contacts from Outlook in CMAP.
Easy Timesheets & Expenses
Tracking time and expenses is the absolute core for a services company, but most systems make this painful and
CMAP makes it easy because (a) it's so straightforward and (b) you can access from anywhere on desktop, tablet or mobile.
The CMAP Go smartphone app is available on iOS and Android devices and is packed with useful features such as taking photos of expense receipts and requesting time off.
CRM & Opportunity Management
With a contacts directory combined with lead and enquiry management, CMAP streamlines and simplifies your business development efforts.
Key functionality includes:
- Companies and contacts database: names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.
- Activities for sales-follow up, QA steps, etc.
- Weighted probability-adjusted forecasting for revenue or resourcing reports etc.
- Seamless lead to project conversion workflow - no rekeying or duplication.
- Alerts on your dashboard, in CMAP For Outlook, and in CMAP Go on your smartphone.
Importantly, this is all assisted by industry-specific job costing functionality not found in standalone CRMs where the fee is just a number you punch in.
Custom Dashboards
CMAP keeps users up-to-speed on the areas that matter to them, be it project workers with resourcing, project managers with performance or finance with billing, etc.
Points of note include:
- Personalisation. You can drag and drop to re-order your dashboard to suit your preference.
- Custom boxes - built using CMAP BI - can be published to your dashboard so you don't need to run reports manually.
- Dashboards are live. They take the data as it stands right now, so you can make confident decisions.
- They're also interactive. Meaning you can simply click an item to be linked through to the relevant area to investigate or take action.
Slick Sales Invoicing
CMAP auto-populates invoice schedules at the click of a button, so only quick tweaks are required rather than keying it all in from scratch - but you can do that too of course!
Approval workflows allow project managers to sign-off invoices when they're ready to be billed, including any narration they'd like to have added for the client. Alternatively, you can control approvals centrally. Whatever you prefer.
Invoice creation is simple. CMAP takes the approved data - amount, address, etc. - and inserts it into your own custom sales invoice templates.
Payments can be updated, so project managers are aware of debtor issues on their projects and don't have to pester finance for the information.
