CMap

What is CMap?

CMap is an industry-tailored, cloud-based CRM, project & resource management platform. With tens of thousands of users around the world, our software liberates professional services firms from endless spreadsheets and disparate systems, providing a single platform for operational success.

‍

How do I get started with CMap?

First, we'd recommend booking a demo. This will involve a quick 30 minute chat to learn more about you, your business, and the challenges you're hoping to fix.

After this, you'll be matched up to a CMap Expert who'll prepare a bespoke, 1:1 demo for you. If you'd like to find out more, just fill out our form.

Can CMap integrate with our existing software systems?

Yes, CMap integrates with a wide range of popular business management solutions. This includes accounting software like QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage; CRM systems such as HubSpot and Salesforce (coming soon); collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams and Outlook; and business intelligence tools such as PowerBI and Microsoft Access.

Additionally, CMap works with document management systems like Atvero PIM. For a comprehensive list of integrations, please visit our integrations page.

‍

Do I have to use the CMap AEC Edition to use Atvero?

Absolutely not. Atvero is an independent product and will remain so. Whilst there is a bi-directional integration between the two products, there is no requirement whatsoever to also buy CMap.

What are the benefits of Atvero PIM?

Atvero PIM is a document, drawing and email management system built on Microsoft 365 for architects and engineers. By adding AEC standardizations and best practices to SharePoint and Teams, Atvero PIM allows organizations to deliver quality projects on a platform that is highly intuitive to all existing Microsoft users.

As the information gatekeeper, Atvero PIM helps minimize project risks by maintaining audibility across the entire project life cycle. With Atvero PIM, documents and drawings are always correctly named, reviewed, and version controlled. This means every piece of sent and received information is always accurate and up-to-date.

Why is it important to have a document management solution in place like Atvero PIM?

More than ever, information management has come under heightened scrutiny with pressure to conform to uniform standards for building information management (BIM) and compliance with global standards e.g. ISO 19650. Having a solution like Atvero PIM means companies can enhance project quality control and improve efficiency while saving time, money, and effort.

How do I sign up to Atvero?

We recommend scheduling an initial 30-min discovery call to help us better understand your challenges and goals. Then, one of our Atvero experts will prepare a custom 1-1 demo tailored to your needs. All you need to do is fill out our book a demo form.

Is Atvero a Common Data Environment (CDE)?

No. A CDE is a collaboration sharing tool, whereas Atvero PIM is really focused on you, your organization, and your documents. Atvero PIM has the ability for you to share documents and receive documents from an external organization (clients, suppliers, etc.), but those organizations will not be accessing your own Atvero PIM site or MS SharePoint environment.
