Frequently Asked Questions

Everything Engineering firms Want to Know

From setup to day-to-day use, we’ve answered the biggest questions firms ask when switching.

What makes Magnetic different from tools like Asana, ClickUp, or Monday.com?

Those tools are general-purpose. Magnetic is purpose-built for engineering firms, with deep support for scoping, delivery, resource planning, and margin tracking, so you can run the full engagement lifecycle in one place.

Can Magnetic help us improve project profitability?

Absolutely. Magnetic tracks project budgets, resource utilisation, and scope changes in real time. You get alerts before profit leaks happen, not after.

We already use a CRM and accounting system - does Magnetic integrate?

Yes. Magnetic integrates with your existing CRM, accounting, and calendar tools, so you can build a seamless workflow without disrupting what’s already working.

How hard is it to get started?

Getting started is simple. You can try Magnetic free for 14 days—no credit card required. Our onboarding team is here to help you migrate, train your team, and start seeing value quickly.
