Reports should be something you make decisions on, not something you spend hours and hours creating. CMap’s data feeds reports and live, personalised dashboards to give you the info you need to make key decisions swiftly.

CMap comes with a suite of insightful out-of-the-box reports, but that’s just the start. With the ability to create custom in-app reports and gain direct access to your raw data (in Excel or external BI tools like Power BI), reporting capabilities go stratospheric.

With a separate CRM, data is inconsistent. For example, a “deal value” may be nothing more than a number typed into a field. Whereas CMap’s innovative “Fee Estimator” robustly calculates this value, considering roles, rates and deliverables. Separate CRMs are limited to a pipeline-only view, b...

CMap For Outlook is a game-changer for people who live in email. Just received an email from a client to discuss a new potential project? Effortlessly create the opportunity in CMap’s CRM from within Outlook. Need to submit your timesheet? No problem, do it from within Outlook. People love ...

The problem with most resourcing software isn’t the initial set-up of resourcing data: it’s keeping on top of the changes. CMap’s cutting-edge resourcing tools empower you to make super-quick changes and get instant feedback on how they impact the project outcome. With stunning reports that sp...

Many companies only use a fraction of their HR systems. With CMap, we give you the tools & functionality you actually need... and none of the bloat. Thanks to the power of CMap’s “Pages” functionality, setting up a highly configured HR system is a breeze. Performance reviews? Sure thing. I...

"We use CMAP as an end to end pipleline and resource management tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CMap?

It is helpful to have an end to end integrated view covering a CRM, a pipeline management tool, a bid estimating tool and a time and resource management tool. The integration is brilliant Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CMap?

To be honest I can't really think of real downsides. We did need to become far more disciplined about how we recorded opportunities, time and resources but that was the point of investing in the first place Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CMap:

CMAP can make a massive difference to the business. It does require processes and disciplines to make it work so an organisation needs to ensure it is ready to make the changes needed to get benefit from the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CMap solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems it resolves are :

- visibility of the full pipeline

- consistent estimation of job costing and resourcing

- comprehensive resource management (availability, utilisation, forward commitment)

- time sheet management

- job profitability and progress management

- billing

Having all this integrated in one place gives us complete control of business operations and real transparency on performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent platform for agency information"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CMap?

Like the flexibility of creating a dashboard which provides me information I want to see every day instantly when i go into CMAP. I also like the simplicity of how the budget vs actual shows on the project templates, quick visual access to spend vs target Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CMap?

Nothing is perfect, CMAP is close but little things irritate me like the edit function when making amends on budgets and not being able to put in a timesheet at the start of the year for holidays which means I need to remember to do it on my last day before AL. Also not sure if you can set the currency you want to see revenue in but because i work in Ireland, it automatically gives me EUR spend on project reports and i need to remember to edit it to GBP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CMap is a great package, Being able to track and monitor a project in all aspects."

4/5

What do you like best about CMap?

I enjoy how easy the program interface is and how I can track the progress of the jobs I am working on, giving me a clearer outline and the "bigger picture of the project". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CMap?

I find adding fields for the timesheet a little harder to understand, and if this is wrong it causes issues with the overall tracking of the project. Also, I would like to be able to review the work done during previous weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool for architects to keep on top of project fees and hours spent!"

4/5

What do you like best about CMap?

CMAP has enabled a wider number of people in the practice to understand and monitor project finances. It allows us to identify and address any issues that come up with project finances, and test different resourcing options for later stages of a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CMap?

It's harder to transition to CMAP mid-way through a project/project stage, but it's reassuring to know that it is possible to amend data that is brought in from earlier stages/other software later down the line to address any errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CMap:

Watch the tutorials and don't be afraid to get in touch to ask questions! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CMap solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use CMAP to prepare bids and resource projects from an early stage so we can understand how much fee we have for each stage/how many hours we can spend. This helps us to keep on top of project finances and maintain our target profit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CMAP Review"

4/5

What do you like best about CMap?

Being in a small company, as a Project Manager is quite a time task consuming having to use spreadsheets on a daily basis to keep track of everything. This is automatically done using CMAP and is an easy way to keep track of your projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CMap?

CMAP is not perfect and has its own limitations. It is not straightforward and you need to spend quite a lot of time getting used to it. Also, it does not accurately account for the overheads of a company, therefore I can't ensure that the profit levels for a project I'm currently looking at are actually correct.

"Great time management platform"

5/5

What do you like best about CMap?

As a new user to CMap I found it easy to use and navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CMap?

I do not like that there is no auto save entries in the Timesheet section. I often forget to press save and then will close the window in error. Auto save would be a good addition to this area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Straightforward & simple"

5/5

What do you like best about CMap?

The fact that all essential business information is at your fingertips in a single integrated location is very convenient. Timesheets, linked directly to projects at every stage, linked to invoicing linked to 'leave' requests and just about everything important to get a snapshot of where you are at is a pleasure indeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CMap?

Will be nitpicking if I had to try and think of a negative. The only negative is that as an architect I can't drawer using CMAP, haha. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CMap:

Very simple and easy to use, to deliver complex and important data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CMap solving and how is that benefiting you?

It combines what historically were isolated functions into one integrated platform, making it very simple to understand the relationship between them at merely the click of a button. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-friendly and Intuitive"

5/5

What do you like best about CMap?

CMAP is very intuitive and requires a minimal explanation for using it. It saves a lot of time and helps keep track of the projects. I find the video tutorials very useful for when I need to refresh something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CMap?

I can't pinpoint anything specific. But I still haven't used all of the features only these that are required by the specific projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
