### "Intuitive time tracking, billing, and scheduling"

May 26, 2021

5.0

I'm a sole proprietor architect, and often I find myself ignoring the back of house part of architecture while focusing on design and construction management. There are many months with lots of invoicing and others with none; sometimes I feel like I've taken on too much work and not paced it out; and then there's the rough estimates of how much invoicing / projected invoicing I have t. This product helps me schedule, project, invoice, and keep track of projects.

Pros

I love how easy this product is to implement scheduling, staffing, forecasting invoicing and billing.

Cons

I'd love an app for the software (which they are working on), and I'd love for something that ties in being able to issue proposals. I know its not part of their product, but it seems so inclusive that having a spot to include project drawings, specifications, and site meeting notes would make it a one stop shop.

### "easey to use"

April 16, 2021

5.0

Wish this came out decades ago. Too much time spent entering hours in and working with admins to make sure they are billed properly over the years. This makes it so much easier.

Pros

Having to account for every hour worked, once a project is entered, it's easy to access and add to the timecard. Updating in real time when hours are inputted, it's easy to see if an hour or two hasn't yet been entered.

Cons

When working on 15+ projects a week, it would be great if they just automatically appear each week with the phases so don't have to spend time on choosing these options. I would only have to revise when entering a different phase in the project.

### "Simple way to take care of admin"

September 3, 2020

4.0

Integration into our workflow has been simple. Tracking time and expenses for projects is simpler and faster than other methods. Web based program instead of installed program prevents software programs and integrates customer support in if necessary

Pros

It's easy to use. The features are intuitive so employees don't have to feel like it's a hassle to keep up with office administration which is our least favorite part of the job.

Cons

The separation in features between projects and overhead is not as intuitive

It has been nice to have an all inclusive solution to manage scheduling, resources and budgeting.

Pros

I like the dashboard and the ability to get schedule, budget, phase and milestones in a simple format.

Cons

Reporting in terms of job costing could be better.

### "monograph review"

April 29, 2021

4.0

scheduling and the gant chart are big. love the shareable calendar

Pros

specific for architecture firms. flexibility to utilize as many or as few options as i want

Cons

web only, I would like an app. the fee calculator is tricky for us because we have a bit of flat fee and percentage of construction combined depending on phase.

### "Great Dashboard"

February 11, 2022

4.0

I'm an early user so I'm just getting used to the system but overall seems easy to navigate and intuitive to operate.

Pros

Being able to visually see project timelines and set benchmarks.

Cons

I haven't used the timesheet since we use a separate system for tracking time and I get an email reminder to fill out my timesheet from Monograph. I don't know how to turn that off.

### "Easy to use but lacks customizable features"

September 1, 2020

4.0

Pros

Easy to input total hours worked on a project. Navigation is simple.

Cons

Our firm pays us 2x/month, so the hours are always added up either on the 16th or 1st of the month. However the input for Monograph is only weekly, making extra work of using multiple timesheets per pay period, and unsubmitting timesheets to re-add hours if the pay period ended midweek. It would be far easier to have timesheets be by a bimonthly pay period if we desired. I brought this to Monograph's attention, but so far this problem has not been addressed.

### "Monograph : A great tool with personal service"

March 12, 2019

5.0

This is our first foray as a small firm in having at-a-glance knowledge of where we are with projects and it's so useful, I can't believe we operated without it.

Pros

Monograph was very easy and intuitive and we were able to get it populated very quickly

Cons

We'd love to see the ability to do forecasting since most of the information needed is already entered into the tool.

Overall it's great and easy to use.

Pros

It's actually very user friendly and intuative. it's very easy to use and to find your way around the site.

Cons

It's supposed to update your time automatic but sometimes it doesn't and you have to re-enter the time. i feel this might have to do with the internet connection.

### "Game Changer"

May 13, 2021

5.0

I can now see a projection of all of my projects in terms of both time and cash flow.

Pros

Finally a software specifically for architecture that isn't prohibitively expensive or bulky because it was designed for a big firm. It's clear, simple, and addresses our industry specifically.

Cons

I would prefer to have accounting and direct billing integrated so I can drop QuickBooks once and for all.

We loved the customer service in the sales and onboarding process of this platform. Did not feel alone at any step and relied on their video tutorials.

Pros

I like being able to see all of our team members time worked / budgeted cohesively together!

Cons

Didn't feel there was enough customization with the project management / task management!

### "Beautiful program, but with a few tweaks could be a must-have!"

February 14, 2022

5.0

The interface, although very visually pleasing, it is hard to tell what icon does what. Eg, starting to time a project, where do I change my previous hours from last week... etc.

Pros

The interface is much more visually appealing than all the programs I have used.

Cons

The time tracker itself is confusing inputting time through not full time eg. 0:70 minutes and not 1:10 (1 hour and 10 minutes) I am used to this "1:10" layout since I have to do math for the "0:70".

### "Clear Layout"

March 18, 2022

5.0

I think it is a great way to keep track of projects and make time tracking easier to understand.

Pros

I like Monograph for it's clear layout and easy to use and read displays. It is easy to navigate to find what you need to track your own time and time spent overall on a project.

Cons

I haven't worked with Monograph long enough or in depth enough to recognize any cons I have about the app.

It has been pretty good. I just wish customer service was better. I don't like to email someone asking for help and they tell you click the blue bubble on Monograph and ask question. I want to know I have a live person on the other end of my phone call or my email assisting.

Pros

It is pretty easy to navigate around the program.

Cons

sometimes what your looking for can be a bit difficult to find.

As a full-time project designer in the Architecture Industry, I use this weekly to log my hours. This has by far been the most efficient platform for logging my hours in my short career as a professional.

Pros

Simplicity of it's interface and general ease of use.

Cons

Would be nice to have an easier way of navigating to the project, rather than a drop down scroll.

### "Easy and Productive"

May 3, 2021

4.0

We're hoping to solve as described above but have to populate with much more data to see the result. That's to be expected. Overall been a very good experience

Pros

That it solves our need to have some insight to how we're spending time. Rather than thinking we are spending too much time on a project or too little, we'll now know the reality and manage forward.

Cons

The invoicing template is really limited.

The customer service is a huge pillar for me - so the ease and responsiveness of the team is amazing.

Pros

I like the ease on how to use the software. Being able to customize the software for my use is a big plus.

Cons

My general lack of understanding would be my main cause for a con, whihc reflects none on the software itself. I would say that an easier way to trach hours aside from an actual record button would be nice.

### "Great graphics, great tools, and great support"

June 2, 2021

5.0

So far, it's been a pleasure using Monograph and working with their teams. I am excited to see how this will improve our firm!

Pros

Customer service has been outstanding. Their teams help you get started and set up easily and make sure you know they are there for you.

Cons

Nothing so far. Interest to see how the integration with Quickbooks will work.

Reason for choosing Monograph

They understand the architecture industry and what is needed. This makes it the ideal software, especially for small firms that may not have the resources to hire someone specifically for project management, accounting and other non-design related tasks.
