The Problem
Engineering Firms Can’t Scale When Projects Span CAD Tools, Email, Trackers, and File Servers with No Connected System
Engineering firms manage projects across CAD tools, email, project trackers, and file servers with no connected system for operations. The result is fragmentation that grows with every new project and every new hire.
As your firm takes on more clients, coordination breaks. Project documents live in one system, contracts in another, team communication in email, and time tracking in a separate tool. Principals, project managers, and engineers operate in silos.
Business in a Box gives engineering firms one operating system for project management, documentation, communication, HR, and AI — so your firm operations are as precise as the structures you design.
In engineering services, projects require precise coordination between design, compliance, client communication, and field execution. Specs, drawings, change orders, and progress reports live in different systems. Engineers spend as much time chasing documentation as doing actual engineering work.
Your Industry, Our Platform
Every Engineering Challenge.
One Connected Platform.
Business in a Box maps directly to how engineering firms actually operate — so every project,
team process, and business function has a system behind it.
Project Management
Track Engineering Projects from Proposal to Completion
Projects, milestones, deliverables, and deadlines — all in one system. Track engineering work alongside contracts and keep every discipline aligned on delivery.
Documentation & Standards
Centralize Specs, Standards, and Technical Documents
Project specifications, technical standards, procedures, and firm documentation — all searchable and version-controlled in one platform instead of scattered across file servers.
Team & HR
Manage Engineers, Hiring, and Professional Development
Hiring pipelines, onboarding checklists, certifications, time tracking, and team management — so growing the firm doesn’t mean growing the administrative chaos.
Communication
Replace Scattered Email and Meeting Overload
Team chat, video calls, and internal inbox — connected to projects so every conversation has context and nothing gets buried in email threads.
Contracts & Compliance
Manage Contracts, NDAs, and Regulatory Compliance
Consulting agreements, NDAs, professional services contracts, and compliance documentation — organized and always current.
Financial Operations
Track Invoicing, Budgets, and Project Costs
Invoices, project budgets, vendor payments, and financial reporting — so firm finances are tracked as precisely as project budgets.
AI & Automation
AI for Proposals, Reports, and Business Documents
AI drafts proposals, project reports, procedures, and business plans — accelerating the administrative work that takes engineers away from engineering.
Reporting & Visibility
Dashboards for Project Status and Firm Metrics
Real-time dashboards, project metrics, team utilization, and financial reporting — so principals have full visibility without chasing updates.
