No single source of truth
Project status, builder details and payment records live in separate files across studios, so nobody has one accurate picture of what's live, stalled or paid.

THE PROBLEM
What Is ERP Software for Architecture Firms?
A single system of record that connects the parts of the practice that normally live in separate tools.
Architecture and design firms rarely lose control because of bad projects — they lose control because of bad tracking. A studio running a dozen live projects across multiple branches, builders and vendors usually depends on a patchwork of spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads and email chains to answer basic questions: which milestone triggers the next invoice, which payment is overdue, which studio is stretched thin.
Algosoft builds custom ERP software for architecture and project-based firms — connecting studio and staff records, the builder and vendor network a firm works with, every project's lifecycle from enquiry to handover, the milestones that trigger billing, and the payments and approvals finance teams chase every month.
Built around billing, not just tasks
It differs from a generic project management tool in one important way: it is built around billing and approval workflows tied to real project milestones — schematic design, GFC drawings, submission stages — not just tasks and due dates.
For a firm running several studios or branches, that means a director can see every live project's cost, payment status and delay reason from one dashboard — without asking each studio to send an update.
WHY FIRMS OUTGROW SPREADSHEETS
The Same Six Cracks Show Up in Every Growing Practice
Most firms don't set out to run their business on spreadsheets — they grow into it.
Invisible cash flow
Pending versus invoiced amounts aren't clear until someone manually reconciles spreadsheets — usually after a payment is already overdue.
Manual milestone tracking
Schematic design, GFC drawings and submission stages get chased over email and phone instead of a shared, billable checklist.
Delayed approvals
Payment approvals and client follow-ups stall without a structured workflow, adding days or weeks to a cycle that should take hours.
No multi-studio visibility
As a firm opens new studios, leadership loses the ability to compare workload, revenue and delay patterns without building a new spreadsheet each time.
Audit and reporting pressure
When a lender, investor or auditor asks for project-wise financials, spreadsheet-run firms spend days assembling what a proper system produces in minutes.
END-TO-END ERP MODULES
Everything a Multi-Studio Practice Needs, in One System
Every Algosoft architecture ERP is modular, so firms can start with what matters most and expand as studios and headcount grow.
Multi-studio & staff management
Every staff member is added once, assigned a position and mapped to one or more studios, so reporting lines and workload stay accurate as the firm grows.
Builder & vendor directory
PAN, GST, contacts and service category — structural, MEP, landscape, liaison and more — captured once per builder or vendor and reused across every linked project.
Project lifecycle management
Projects move from a temporary draft, through full site and legal detail capture, to a live, ID-tracked project.
Shared milestone library
A master list of milestones — signing amount, schematic design, GFC drawings, submission stages — is defined once and reused across every project and studio.
Invoicing, payments & follow-ups
Every invoice carries its milestone, base amount, GST/TDS split and pending balance, searchable by invoice or due date, with a follow-up log per line.
Approval workflows
Payment approvals and disbursements move through a structured workflow instead of email threads and phone calls.
Organization-wide reporting
One report rolls up work percentage, project value, amount received and consultant value across every studio and builder, exportable to Excel or PDF.
Role-based workspaces
Administrators, architects, finance teams, studio leads, analysts and clients each get a workspace scoped to what they need to see and act on.
PRODUCT IN ACTION
A Real, Active Multi-Studio Deployment
Screens from a live architecture ERP build — the moment a director logs in, everything is already there.
LIVE DASHBOARD
Every Studio's Numbers, the Moment You Log In
No report to run. The dashboard rolls up invoiced vs. pending percentage, live vs. temporary project mix, and project cost against payment received — by studio and by builder — the second a director signs in.
Invoiced vs. pending amount, at a glance
Temporary vs. permanent live project split
Project cost vs. payment received, per studio
Builder-wise project value and payments
Multi-Studio Management
Every studio's address, project count and studio lead in one searchable list — add a branch and it slots straight into the same structure.
Builder Directory
PAN, GST, contacts and linked project count captured once per builder and reused across every project they're on.
OUR PROCESS
Our ERP Development Process
A structured build that starts with your studios' real workflow, not a template.
1
Discovery & workflow mapping
We map how your studios currently approve drawings, bill milestones and track payments before writing a line of code.
2
Studio & data architecture design
Studios, builders, vendors, staff and milestone structures are modeled to match how your firm is actually organized.
3
Module-wise development
Dashboard, master data, project lifecycle, milestones and finance modules are built and reviewed in stages, not delivered as one large release.
4
Data migration & integration
Existing project, builder and financial records are migrated in, connected to accounting or communication tools your firm already uses.
5
UAT & training
Administrators, architects, studio leads and finance teams test their own workspace and are trained before go-live.
6
Deployment & ongoing support
The platform goes live studio by studio if preferred, with ongoing support as the firm adds studios, staff or reporting requirements.

SEE IT IN PRACTICE
A Dashboard That Answers the Director's First Question
In an active multi-studio architecture ERP deployment, the admin dashboard surfaces live project counts, total project value, builder and vendor counts, and a breakdown of delay reasons by category — the moment a director logs in, with no report to run.
Every invoice line is searchable by invoice date or due date and carries its own follow-up history, so finance teams and studio leads work from the same numbers instead of separate spreadsheets. As new studios, builders or staff are added, they slot into the same structure without any rebuild.
PRODUCTION PROVEN
What Changes for Your Team
Figures and screens shown during discovery calls reflect a real, active deployment; specific client and financial detail is shared only in gated conversations and is not published here.
Centralized visibility — directors see every studio's live projects, cost and payments from one home screen. Faster approvals — structured workflows replace email threads. Studio-wise accountability — every studio, lead and staff member is mapped in the system. Audit-ready reporting — organization-wide, builder-level and studio-level reports export in one click.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions About Architecture ERP Software
It's a single platform that connects studio and staff records, your builder/vendor network, project lifecycle tracking, milestone-based billing, invoicing and reporting. Unlike a generic project management tool, it ties tasks directly to billing milestones and financial approvals, not just deadlines.
Yes. Studios, staff and projects are managed centrally, with each staff member assigned a position and mapped to one or more studios, so directors get studio-wise visibility into workload, cost and payments without collecting manual updates.
A shared milestone library — for example, signing amount, schematic design, GFC drawings, submission stages — is defined once and reused across every project. Each invoice line references a specific milestone, so billing always maps to delivered work rather than elapsed time.
Yes. Builder and vendor records — PAN, GST, contacts and service category such as structural, MEP or landscape — are captured once and linked to every project they're associated with, so business development and finance teams see relationship depth instantly.
Both are supported. Role-based workspaces mean administrators, architects, studio leads, finance teams and analysts get full operational access, while a client-facing view can be scoped to project status and approvals without exposing internal financial detail.
Timelines depend on the number of modules and studios involved. A discovery and workflow-mapping phase comes first, followed by module-wise development, data migration, user testing and a phased go-live — most firms start reviewing working modules well before the full platform is complete.
Cost depends on the number of modules, studios, integrations and users involved, so any figure quoted before a discovery call is illustrative only, not a fixed quote. As a starting reference, Algosoft's custom development work typically begins around USD 20/hour; a scoped, firm-specific estimate is provided after a discovery call.
Data security is built around Algosoft's ISO 27001:2023-certified information security practices and role-based access control, so studio, builder and financial data is visible only to the roles that need it.
