Onboarding & support

Total Synergy

Purpose-built for architecture and engineering firms with tools that connect projects, time, and billing in one place.

Supports multiple fee types (fixed fee, hourly, variations) within a single project, so reporting is clean and admin is low.

Embedded PowerBI dashboards that allow you to gain instant insights into project performance, profitability, and resource utilisation.

Fast, responsive support with consultative onboarding from A&E specialists who understand your firm.

WorkflowMAX
A generalist job management tool not designed specifically for A&E firms, often requiring workarounds for industry-specific project structures.
Cannot support variable fee types within one project, forcing firms to split work into multiple jobs and increasing admin overhead and risk.
Limited reporting, particularly around job profitability, often requiring exports to Excel and manual data handling to understand performance.
Many users report a hands-off experience, with limited guidance and inconsistent support, particularly following the BlueRock acquisition.
