Project-based ERP built for architecture and engineering firms
Unanet A/E ERP is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning platform designed specifically for architecture and engineering (A/E) firms. It unifies project management, financials, resource planning, and business development in a single system — eliminating the disconnected spreadsheets and siloed tools that are common across the AEC industry. The platform provides real-time project financials, budget tracking, labor cost management, and invoicing tools that map directly to project-based billing models (T&M, fixed-fee, cost-plus). Project managers gain visibility into utilization rates, earned value, and profitability at the project, client, and firm level — enabling proactive decision-making before projects go over budget. Unanet A/E ERP integrates tightly with Unanet CRM (for pipeline and proposal management) and supports compliance with government contracting requirements, including DCAA audit readiness and FAR-compliant timekeeping. The result is a purpose-built system that speaks the language of A/E firms rather than forcing them to adapt generic ERP workflows.
