Built with purpose: How EVX Software grew into the project management solution for environmental firms to trust

Environmental Consulting and Engineering projects are complex, often involving multiple phases, regulatory compliance, and diverse teams. Traditional project management tools may not cater to these specific requirements, leading to inefficiencies and communication gaps. EVX Software was created to fill this gap, offering a tailored solution that aligns with the workflows and challenges of the environmental sector.

The foundation of EVX Software

EVX Software was developed with direct input from environmental professionals, ensuring that its features address real-world challenges. Key components include:

• Task Management: Allows for detailed planning and assignment of project tasks.
• Time Tracking: Enables accurate recording of work hours, essential for billing and project analysis.
• Expense Management: Facilitates tracking of project-related expenses, aiding in budget adherence.
• Reporting Tools: Provides insights into project performance and financial health.

These features work together to streamline project management, from initiation to completion.

As environmental firms grew, so did the complexity of their financial management. EVX Software responded by enhancing its reporting capabilities:

• Aging Unbilled Work Report: Helps firms identify and address unbilled work, improving cash flow management.
• Work in Progress (WIP) Report: Provides a snapshot of ongoing projects, comparing estimated and actual revenues.
• Project Financials Report: Offers detailed financial data at the project level, aiding in profitability analysis.

These tools empower firms to make informed financial decisions, ensuring project sustainability.

Integrating with existing systems

Understanding that firms use various software solutions, EVX Software introduced integrations with platforms like QuickBooks and SAGE 50. These integrations allow for seamless data transfer, reducing manual entry and the potential for errors. By connecting project management with accounting systems, firms gain a holistic view of their operations.

Enhancing document management

Effective document management is crucial in environmental projects. EVX Software's document handling features enable users to:

• Link Documents to Projects and Tasks: Ensures that all relevant files are easily accessible.
