The Problem
Spreadsheets and generic tools weren't built for project-based firms.
Most project management software doesn't understand phases, fee structures, or utilization. So you end up stitching together tools, never knowing if a project is profitable until it's over.
No phase visibility
Generic PM tools treat every task the same. But your projects move through defined phases like Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, and Construction Administration, each with its own budget and timeline.
Disconnected time tracking
Hours logged in one system, fees tracked in another, profitability calculated in a spreadsheet. Nothing talks to each other.
Profitability is an afterthought
By the time you realize a project went over budget, it's already done. You need real-time insight, not post-mortem surprises.
The Solution
One tool that actually gets how you work.
Traceline is project management designed around phases, fees, and profitability. The way architecture and engineering firms actually operate.
Phase-based projects
Structure projects by phase: Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, and Construction Administration, with budgeted hours and fees for each. See exactly where you stand at every stage.
Time tracking that connects
Log hours directly to phases. Instantly see how actual time compares to budgeted time without spreadsheet reconciliation.
Real-time profitability
Know which projects are making money and which are burning budget before it's too late to course-correct.
Team utilization at a glance
See who's overloaded, who has capacity, and how billable hours stack up across your team.
Built for firms like yours.
Whether you're a 5-person studio or a 50-person firm, Traceline fits your workflow, not the other way around.
How It Works
Simple by design.
Set up your project
Create a project, define your phases, set budgeted hours and fees.
Track time as you go
Team members log hours to specific phases. Takes seconds.
See profitability instantly
Dashboards show budget burn, utilization, and profit, all updated in real time.
