Abtrac helps engineers capture time, manage complex, multi-disciplinary projects, and invoice flexibly — so you can focus on delivery, not admin.
Consulting engineers juggle multiple disciplines, complex deliverables, and demanding deadlines — often with evolving client expectations and compliance requirements.
Between site inspections, design coordination, documentation, and QA, project admin can quickly become a major drain on time.
Abtrac gives engineering firms the structure and visibility they need to stay on track. From time tracking and resource planning to billing and reporting, it keeps every part of your operation connected, efficient, and profitable.
Engineers spend time across offices, sites, and client meetings. With Abtrac’s mobile app, you can log hours as you go — against specific projects and tasks — ensuring all work is recorded accurately and billed correctly.
Engineering projects move through multiple phases — concept, detailed design, site observation, QA. Abtrac lets you assign tasks, set deadlines, and track progress at every stage, helping your team deliver consistently and meet client expectations.
Abtrac supports hourly, fixed-fee, milestone-based, or percentage billing models. Set charge-out rates by discipline, staff level, or task type — ideal for firms handling civil or structural projects with varying contract terms.
See WIP, unbilled time, project profitability, and utilisation at a glance. Abtrac’s reporting tools help you identify where time is spent, forecast workloads, and plan resourcing effectively across all active projects.
Coordinate design inputs, QA records, and site documentation from one system. Abtrac keeps your team, consultants, and clients aligned — reducing miscommunication and ensuring version control on every file and drawing.
Assign engineers to jobs based on experience, workload, and availability. View capacity at a glance, avoid bottlenecks, and balance project demands to ensure every deadline is met.
Monitor actual vs estimated time and costs in real time. Receive alerts when budgets approach their limits, helping you take corrective action early and prevent overruns or scope creep.
Ensure every project expense is accounted for.
Capture every project expense alongside your professional time. Log consumables, testing equipment, site travel, third-party reports, and specialist subcontractor costs. Sync creditor invoices from your accounting software or download external data so all engineering project costs are accurate and easy to report.
Share clients, jobs, progress claims, invoices, payments, and timesheets seamlessly with Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, MoneyWorks and other platforms. Eliminate double entry and keep engineering project finances consistent across every stage.
