From the beginning Rapport3 was developed with engineer working methods in mind. Two of our founders have strong engineering backgrounds, both having worked at large engineering practices in the past. The software has been configured to manage all aspects of a project through one intuitive and efficient platform, regardless of task complexity or the number of engineers involved. 15% of the NCE100 use Rapport3 to streamline their processes, so why aren't you?
Make managing timesheets simple in all locations. Engineers and engineering consultants can add time and details on the go via the mobile app, or through our Outlook plug-in. This plug-in enables you to add information to the Rapport3 system through Outlook, so there is no need to be constantly swapping apps.
Time is entered through a straightforward interface, which links back to your resource planner, so staff are aware of the time they have spent on a task compared with how much time had been allocated. Booked leave pre-populates into timesheets, and there are options such as flexi-time and auto-approvals to ensure Rapport3 works flawlessly with your Engineering Firm’s working methods.
Adding expenses is easy and intuitive, and is integrated with your accounts package to ensure no expense is overlooked. Expenses can be added through desktop Rapport3, the Rapport3 mobile app and through the intuitive Outlook plug-in, meaning if engineers are out and about, it is easy to add any expenses immediately. A recharge and non-recharge option is available, and there is a simple approval system in place throughout.
The versatility and efficiency of our budget planning features are unparalleled in any other project management system. Created specifically for the needs of engineers, you can plan by grade and utilise workstage templates for quick planning. The software integrates workstage level probability factors and standard construction fee structures, for instance ‘fixed fee’ and ‘percentage of construction’ options are available. Detailed plan-by-grade options are available, as well as workstage probability factors, ensuring that if you work in phases, you can plan the engineering project on the likelihood of winning speculative parts of the job.
Integration with your accounts system means there is no need for multiple accounts platforms and re-entering data, saving you time and removing human error. The simple invoice approval process minimises complications and speeds up project finalisations, whilst the ability to generate invoices from detailed fee forecasts is an efficient alternative to manually calculating them.
Rapport3 is mobile optimised for iPhone and Android, meaning that architects can create business development notes on the go, capture timesheets and expenses and search for contacts, projects and staff on a concise and intuitive dashboard.
Rapport3 has many powerful standard reports that can be exported to Excel. Using our OData integration provides even greater flexibility, allowing greater data analysis using Excel and business intelligence tools like Microsoft’s PowerBI. Specific graphs and reports can therefore be generated to create the ideal presentation or brief to show clients and superiors. Financial KPIs are also available on the homepage dashboard, enabling your company to make intelligent business decisions on current projects.
Dashboards are easily configurable and can be designed to best suit your working methods. You have the ability to adapt to new reporting requirements through the flexible interface, ensuring a self-service aspect to the system. With a homepage dashboard, individual project dashboard and individual contact dashboard, engineers can find exactly what they are looking for with minimal effort and maximum speed and ease. All dashboards are security controlled, so you can have 100% trust in keeping business matters private.
Rapport3 has all the tools you need to enhance your business, from expenses to business intelligence. Our expert consultants are on-hand to help you take advantage of the most comprehensive suite of products available. We're here to help your business and your profits grow.
If your engineering practice is using multiple different software packages to organise and manage projects, from existing ERP systems to internally developed systems, it can be difficult to keep communication and accuracy consistent across the board. Rapport3 is a secure platform that will support every aspect of multiple ongoing projects, as well as business intelligence and reporting.
Quick, successful adoption of the software from previous systems is ensured through a comprehensive implementation plan, training for your staff and our fantastic support team and Rapport3 community. The system is constantly being updated based on customer feedback, new client requirements and current innovations in the industry.
Rapport3 is accessible via desktop, mobile app and through the Outlook plug-in, but also allows API standardised methods of extracting the raw data to be utilised however is necessary. OData allows live links to the data from many report engines including MS Excel and PowerBI.
Rapport3 is a flexible system that is tailored specifically for the way your engineering firm works. It makes project management intuitive, risk-free and more efficient allowing you to practice superb engineering undistracted.
