Running an environmental consulting or engineering firm means juggling a lot: multiple clients, teams in the field and in the office, shifting budgets, and tight deadlines. The work itself is complex, but managing that work shouldn’t be.
EVX Software is designed specifically to support environmental and engineering teams with tools that make project tracking, billing, and reporting easier and more accurate. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to use EVX Software to maximize project profitability, reduce admin time, and make sure no hours (or dollars) slip through the cracks.
Improving project profitability starts with a system that fits your business. EVX Software doesn’t force you into rigid templates. It adapts to how you already organize your team, projects, and clients.
You can:
Whether you’re managing a permitting project in Texas or a site assessment in Alberta, EVX Software adjusts to support your workflow.
Project profitability starts with knowing where your time and money go. In EVX Software, you can set up billing methods that fit the work: hourly, fixed fee, or a mix. Rates can be different for each role, project, or even client, so everything lines up correctly when it’s time to bill.
You also get real-time insight into costs. When staff track time or add expenses, those entries go straight into the system. You can compare what you thought a project would cost to what it’s actually costing, so you’re not surprised at the end of the month.
And when is it time to invoice? All the pieces are already there, no more pulling from five different spreadsheets.
Tasks aren’t just to-do lists in EVX Software. They hold a lot of detail: who's responsible, how long it should take, what kind of work it is, and which client or project it belongs to.
Here’s the key part: tasks connect directly to time entries, documents, expenses, and even approvals. That means when you want to know what’s been done, how long it took, and what it cost, it’s all right there.
Need to track job phases or internal codes for billing? You can do that too. Whether it’s setting up fieldwork or pulling together a deliverable, tasks are the center of your project activity.
The task module in EVX Software is more than a checklist. It’s where time entries, expenses, approvals, and documents come together—so you always know who did what, for how long, and at what cost.
You can:
This level of task and time tracking for consultants makes it easier to catch overruns early and keep your work aligned with your contracts.
EVX Software gives you reporting tools that let you see the big picture or zoom into the details. You can check how far along a project is, how close you are to going over budget, and how your team is spending their time.
There’s a Project Status Report that shows you what’s been done, what’s left, and what might be falling behind. And the Utilization Report gives you a look at how busy your team is (or isn’t), so you can plan better.
No need to spend hours pulling together reports—just open one up and get what you need.
EVX Software connects with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, QuickBooks, Sage, and more. So if your team already uses Outlook, Sheets, or QuickBooks Online, you don’t have to change everything overnight. EVX fits into what you’re already doing.
This way, your data stays consistent and you don’t have to enter the same info twice in two different places.
