Budgets and progress billing
Two business models
One core solution, configured for the way you deliver.
IT & professional services firms
Manage time and materials, daily rates, fixed fees, work packages, consultants, timesheets, capacity, milestones, expense recharging and profitability by engagement.
Professional video
Track time, progress and margin for every project.
This presentation illustrates performance management for engineering consultancies and IT services firms, from delivery to invoicing.
Delivery
Every hour feeds project tracking, invoices and margin.
Teams record time against the relevant project and phase. Managers review timesheets and immediately see hours used, remaining availability and cost.
- Time by project, work package, phase, task and staff member
- Cost rate, selling rate, daily rate or unit price
- Expenses, travel, purchases and subcontracting
- Missing-entry checks and approval workflows
Budgets & capacity
Detect overruns before they become losses.
Budget by phase
Forecast time, expenses, purchases and invoicing by work package or phase, then compare them with actuals.
Capacity planning, Gantt and Kanban
Compare capacity, leave, assignments and forecast requirements, then visualise projects in a Gantt chart or Kanban board.
Remaining work
Re-estimate the effort required and forecast final margin before the project closes.
Project invoicing
One tool for your different contract models.
Time and materials
Prepare invoices from approved time, daily rates, quantities and rechargeable expenses.
Fixed fee
Invoice freely, from the quotation, according to a schedule or based on project milestones.
Progress
Enter the completion percentage by phase, retain the invoiced history and prepare progress claims.
Margin & cash flow
Track project economics through to payment.
The project manager brings together the budget, valued time, expenditure, invoices issued, amounts remaining to invoice and payments received.
- Actual margin and forecast margin at completion
- Forecast revenue and invoicing schedule
- Receivables, ageing and customer reminders
- Accounting exports and electronic invoicing
Customer reviews

Frequently asked questions
Prepare for your demo.
Can we manage phases specific to each type of project?
Yes. Phases and tasks can be configured and used in budgets, entries, reports and invoicing.
Is time-and-materials invoicing based on timesheets?
Yes. Approved time can be valued by staff member, task, project or a specific price before the invoice is prepared.
Can we invoice a completion percentage by phase?
Yes. The completed percentage can be entered during preparation and compared with the budget and invoices already issued.
How can we track the final margin on a fixed-fee project?
Tracking combines budget, actuals, cost, invoicing and remaining work. Management can therefore re-estimate the forecast margin at completion.
References and testimonials
Customers that manage their projects by time, budget and margin.
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.”

Test a real project before your next progress claim.
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.
