Invoice time and materials, fixed fees or progress.
Tempolia connects phases, milestones, budgets, progress, work remaining, capacity, expenses, subcontracting and margin for every engagement. The same data supports time and materials, fixed-fee and progress billing.
Control every phase, every hour and every cost across your projects.
Set up feasibility, concept design, detailed design, procurement, delivery, supervision, handover and closeout—or define your own project stages. Track budgets, progress, subcontracting, progress claims and margin by project.
Manage time and materials, daily rates, fixed fees, work packages, consultants, timesheets, capacity, milestones, expense recharging and profitability by engagement.
Tempolia suits engineering and IT services firms that need to connect engagements, phases, capacity, time, expenditure, invoicing and margin within a service-focused scope. Requirements for industrial production, inventory or general logistics should be scoped with the product team before selecting the solution.
This presentation illustrates performance management for engineering consultancies and IT services firms, from delivery to invoicing.
Teams record time against the relevant project and phase. Managers review timesheets and immediately see hours used, remaining availability and cost.
Forecast time, expenses, purchases and invoicing by work package or phase, then compare them with actuals.
Compare capacity, leave, assignments and forecast requirements, then visualise projects in a Gantt chart or Kanban board.
Re-estimate the effort required and forecast final margin before the project closes.
Prepare invoices from approved time, daily rates, quantities and rechargeable expenses.
Invoice freely, from the quotation, according to a schedule or based on project milestones.
Enter the completion percentage by phase, retain the invoiced history and prepare progress claims.
For French public-sector entities, Tempolia generates a Chorus Pro-compatible Factur-X: a readable PDF/A-3 with structured XML data the portal can process.

The project manager brings together the budget, valued time, expenditure, invoices issued, amounts remaining to invoice and payments received.
Feedback from engineering consultancies appears first, followed by testimonials from other professional services organisations.
The brochure covers phase-based tracking, capacity planning, time and materials, fixed fees, progress, payments and margin.
Yes. Phases and tasks are configurable: the engineering firm can use the MOP phases presented on the page or define its own structure by project, lot or assignment. These dimensions are then used consistently in budgets, timesheets, expenses, reports, Gantt charts, progress tracking and invoice preparation.
Yes. Reviewed and approved project time feeds invoice preparation, with valuation by staff member, task, project, daily rate, quantity or specific price. The manager selects billable items, checks the related expenses and descriptions, then approves the document, avoiding the need to re-enter delivery data in another spreadsheet.
Yes. The completed percentage can be entered by phase, compared with the budget, cumulative invoices and previous applications, then used to prepare the invoice. Progress history shows what has been delivered, invoiced and remains to be invoiced without confusing operational progress with cash collection.
Tracking compares the initial budget, actual time and expenses, costs, issued invoices, payments and the revised estimate to complete. The manager can therefore recalculate forecast margin before the project closes, review variances by phase and act on capacity or the next invoicing milestone.
Yes. For public-sector customers, Tempolia generates Factur-X in the specific format supported by Chorus Pro: the readable PDF/A-3 contains the structured XML data used by the portal. Project and invoice references remain available for review during preparation before issue, helping secure the document intended for the public sector.
Engineering consultancies highlight work-in-progress tracking, invoicing and real-time analysis.
“After using various methods, including Excel spreadsheets, only Tempolia enabled us to obtain an effective tool for managing engagements by time spent, with intuitive entry of tasks and time by project.”
“Tempolia has improved the management of our engagements. Each project can be analysed in real time by invoicing, expenses, time by staff member and margin. The software also helps us track and value work in progress, with accessible onboarding and responsive support.”
“Tempolia is easy to use and meets our expectations. We use it to track the profitability of an engagement precisely: each staff member's hours, expenses incurred and invoices issued. The technicians are quickly available.”
The demo uses your phase structure — including APS and APD stages — and your time-and-materials or fixed-fee delivery model, then simulates a progress invoice with the budget, completion percentage, previous invoices and balance.
