How AlibeeZ removes inefficiency and lifts productivity on technical projects
In engineering firms, profitability rests on controlling time spent on projects. On top of that sit technical micro-tasks: numerous, hard to trace, and quietly expensive. A purpose-built ERP centralises technical supervision, automates processes and improves project management.

The challenges
The specific challenges of an engineering firm
Supervise technical tasks and micro-tasks
Individually minor, micro-tasks create significant hidden cost when untracked: capture time precisely even on the most technical interventions, avoid invisible overload and value every activity that contributes to a project.
Control time on fixed-price and subscription work
Every minute counts on fixed price: see effort consumption in real time, allocate resources dynamically against contractual commitments, compute forecast margin from the quote stage, and adapt to every commercial model you use.
Automate administration and accounting
The complexity of your billing models needs an agile, connected tool: automate invoices, purchases, dunning and accounting, switch on progress billing to improve cash flow, and produce reporting without effort.
The answer
Why a sector-specific ERP is essential
A generic ERP does not meet the requirements of technical firms. A sector ERP like AlibeeZ answers them precisely.
Micro-tasks and complex projects
Integrated management that makes visible what previously escaped tracking.
A connected CRM
To follow technical and commercial opportunities in the same tool.
Fine-grained planning
With resource tracking by key skill and by availability.
Billing that fits your contracts
Fixed price, subscription, progress or time spent.
Finance aligned with actual activity
Strategic steering on measured variances, not estimated ones.
Engineering dashboards
A clear view of performance, project by project.

Results
Concrete results for your engineering firm
Let’s talk about your billing models and capacity constraints.
A management system centred on the technical project: deep task structures, effort tracking to fractions of a day, multiple billing models and continuous margin calculation. It replaces the usual patchwork of spreadsheets and time trackers.
Because individually they never feel worth logging, yet collectively they are enough to sink a fixed-price project. Making them loggable in seconds is the only way to get the data at all.
Yes, a CRM is included: opportunities, quotes, interaction history and contract documents attach to the same client record as projects and invoices.
Yes. Each contract carries its own valuation model, including progress billing, recurring subscriptions and consumable day pools.
Expect a few weeks for time entry, leave and invoicing. Purchasing, HR and CRM modules follow without service interruption.
Yes, from 10 to 5,000 people. Configuration adjusts to the level of formality you need, without imposing processes you will not use.
Yes, through connectors for the main packages, configurable exports and a documented REST API.
Pre-configured reports (effort, margin, utilisation, forecast versus actual), role-based configurable dashboards, real-time extracts and data exposure to your BI stack.
The solution
The building blocks of your ERP
Every module runs on the same repository: approved time feeds invoicing, which feeds margin. Open whichever one answers your most pressing need.
Because every sector has its own rules, we support IT services, consulting and engineering firms, communication agencies, audit and actuarial practices with a tailored approach built on real field experience.
