Tools that Make Managing your Firm Easier

Engineering projects are complex, high-stakes, and deadline-driven. Magnetic is built to help engineering consultancies stay commercially sound, operationally aligned, and fully in control - from bid through to final handover.

Real-Time Project Progress Visibility

Track deliverables, issues, and deadlines on a live dashboard. Whether it’s a late IFC or a stalled coordination meeting, know what’s holding up delivery and who’s responsible.

Intelligent Resource Management

Allocate the right engineers across concept, detail design, and execution phases. Balance team workloads, avoid overcommitment, and ensure the right expertise is available at every stage.

Profitability Tracking by Workstream

Capture billable hours without the admin burden. Automate time tracking across phases and roles to improve accuracy and ensure nothing slips through the cracks.

Timesheet Tracking for Technical Roles

Capture hours by project, package, or task. Use auto-tracking and reminders to improve compliance while ensuring billable time is never missed.

Team & Role Based Planning

Plan workloads across multiple jobs and roles, whether someone’s leading one project or supporting another. See capacity, avoid overload, and assign with intent.

Integrated Forecasting

Link upcoming work with current resource availability. Forecast future capacity, revenue, and risk across your pipeline, so bids don’t compromise delivery.

QA-Linked Task Management

Assign and track tasks with QA built in. Set review steps, link to deliverables, and ensure every submission meets the bar, before it reaches the client.

Phase-Based Budgeting

Break down budgets by phase or package. Compare planned vs. actual time and cost per phase to flag overruns early, before they derail the full project.

Role & Rate-Based Costing

Assign different hourly rates by role (e.g. Senior Engineer vs. CAD Tech) and track delivery cost vs. billable value in real time.

Project Health Snapshots

See live status across budgets, delivery, resources, and margins, so you can catch issues early and steer projects back on track before reviews or reporting.

Purpose Built for the Way Engineering Firms Operate

Magnetic brings structure to engineering delivery, linking scope, people, timelines, and costs in one system built to support technical workflows and commercial outcomes.
