Designed by a team with extensive experience in the AEC industry, Rapport3 is an ERP solution uniquely configured to best serve architectural practices with all their project management and job costing needs.
Make managing timesheets simple. Time is entered through a straightforward interface, which links back to your resource planner, so architects 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 architectural practice.
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.
Resource Planning
Our resource planning function builds on the budget planning section, providing a greater level of detail by allowing staff to be assigned against the workstage and grade. A RAG-style resource grid is always available to present team availability based on leave and existing commitments. True to Rapport3’s core function, resource planning is never done in isolation from costs. Profit or loss is continuously presented, allowing the user to witness the financial implications of their resource changes.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance is an essential aspect to any project, so unlike most management systems, Rapport3 ensures tasks are auto-associated to the project team member and displayed on the user dashboard to review.
A comprehensive birds-eye view of the project conformance is accessible. Gateway review input features enable your architectural firm to check each step meticulously; ideal for meeting the requirements of ISO 9001.
Contacts
Key contact information is clearly displayed on the dashboard, with an intelligent contact lifecycle retaining company history. Our powerful dashboard has features unlike any competitor, including a campaign management system, comprehensive integration with Outlook, and the capability to manage business development tasks through mobile and Outlook plugins. Our system has been updated to ensure it is completely efficient in complying to new GDPR laws.
Mobile
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.
Business Intelligence & Dashboards
Rapport3 provides powerful tools to analyse your data, whether this be by real-time dashboards available on the homepage, individual dashboards or contact dashboards. Rapport3 provides easy access to over 100 reports, offering everything from staff skills to project P&L. Our OData feed provides the ultimate in business data analysis, allowing you to write your own reports using well-known products like Excel, through to the new breed of business intelligence packages, like Microsoft’s PowerBI.
Dashboards are easily configurable and can be designed to best suit your working methods. With a homepage dashboard, individual project dashboard and individual contact dashboard, you can find exactly what you 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.
Job Costing
An efficient job costing system is imperative to keeping on top of all cost related aspects of a project. Our Rapport3 software ensures you have a comprehensive set of tools to estimate, measure, report and analyse each job in detail, including timesheets, expenses, budget planning and resource planning.
Our job costing system revolves around flexibility. The software is designed and updated to be bespoke to how your business works.
Don’t just take our word for it - hear from the architectural practices already using Rapport3
“Rapport3 enabled us to see very quickly where a project stands financially and where the office stands financially. We could clearly see what we would be billing in the next few months at any one time. That feature in particular became critical over the previous year due to the pandemic and the subsequently tighter budgets.
“[...] We were able to adjust the software and put our own fields in there so that we can search for previous projects when bidding for new projects. For example, we can search for residential projects with a specific number of units, or projects in specific locations. So we now have an easily accessible database for current and previous projects, which helps with bidding.”
