Top-down and bottom-up, together

Starting with a fee-driven brief in mind? Top-down budgeting is ready and waiting. Want to take a resource-driven approach? Bottom-up's the place to start.

Ultimately, CMap enables you to do both e.g. start with a lump sum fee in mind, plan out the resource requirements, and then sense-check the margin the fee will yield, increasing the project’s—and ultimately, the firm’s—profitability.

Create efficiency & consistency with templates

Why do people revert to spreadsheets for their projects? “They’re quicker”. “They’re easier”. "The system doesn’t work the way I work”.

CMap addresses this with templating functionality, making it quick & easy to set-up jobs, and going further than spreadsheets are capable, with target margins per sector, data immediately flowing through to staffing demand reports, revenue projections ,and more.

CMap’s Fee Estimator isn’t just about producing more accurate fees that enable you to understand what you’re committing to margin-wise.

The data is transformed into projections of future demand, enabling you to make confident decisions and manage projects.
