Your projects are running .Your margins are leaking..
Field hours go unlogged. Subcontractor bills pile up unmatched. Milestone invoices leave your desk weeks late. By the time the accounts team surfaces the numbers, the project is already over budget. Juntrax brings your people, your projects, and your cash flow onto one platform, so civil engineering firms catch the leak before it becomes a loss.
Field hours worked 01
Hours captured on timesheets 02
Subcontractor costs reconciled 03
Milestone invoices raised 04
Four ways civil engineering firms lose project margin
before they notice.
Project overruns rarely arrive as a single large event. They accumulate through field hours nobody captured, subcontractor bills nobody matched, and milestone invoices nobody raised on time. By the time the finance team sees it, the damage is already done.
Site engineers are working hours that never get recorded.
Engineers and supervisors in the field do not log time at a desk. Hours get estimated at the weekend, guessed at month-end, or never captured at all. Those unrecorded hours never make it into the project cost, and they never make it onto the client invoice.
Subcontractor invoices arrive but nobody matches them to a project.
Ten active sites. Three subcontractors each. Invoices are arriving by email, WhatsApp, and post. Nobody matches them to purchase orders. Nobody verifies them against the project budget. They get paid anyway and the cost overrun surfaces in the quarterly review.
Milestones are complete, but the client invoice goes out weeks later.
Foundation work is finished. The client owes you the next payment. But the invoice is still being drafted, reviewed, corrected, and resubmitted, three weeks later. On a ₹5Cr project, that delay means significant cash sitting with the client instead of in your account.
Nobody knows a project is over budget until it is too late to act.
Eight projects. Five sites. Each with its own subcontractors, its own team, its own cost structure. By the time the accounts team compiles the numbers, two more milestones have passed and the overrun has compounded into something that cannot be recovered.

Milestone-triggered invoicing
Raise invoices the day a milestone closes. AR tracked per project across your full portfolio.
Live project cost dashboard
Costs versus budget per project, in real time. Overruns visible before they compound.
What changes when the leaks close.
Modeled on the median Juntrax civil engineering customer. Your numbers will vary, but the direction won't.
From 3-hour PM meetings to 3-minute reports.
A 100-person civil consultancy with projects across India. Used to hold weekly three-to-four-hour PM meetings just to find out how many hours had been spent on each project. Today the same information arrives in minutes through automated reports — and HR, projects, and finance live in one place instead of three.
Before using Juntrax, we had to hold in-person meetings with all our project managers, which took three to four hours just to track how many hours were being spent on each project. Now, with Juntrax, we can get that information in minutes through automated reports.
What 5 points of utilization is worth.
Drag the sliders. The math doesn't lie. Untracked field hours and unmatched subcontractor bills quietly erode every project's margin.
Your firm today
Civil engineering assumptions — adjust to your reality.
Built for how engineering firms actually work:
HRMS, Project Financials, and Invoicing.
Juntrax covers HR, field time tracking, project cost management, subcontractor POs, milestone invoicing, and AR/AP. It does not do RFIs, construction drawings, site safety logs, or scheduling. Built for what engineering operations teams need, not for what a generic SaaS vendor bundled in.
Field time tracking for engineers
Log hours from any site on mobile. Tag by project, task, and team. Field engineers log from their phone; supervisors approve from the office or on-site.
Live project cost management
See costs versus budget per project in real time, calculated from timesheets, vendor invoices, and POs together. Know which sites are in trouble before month-end, not after.
Subcontractor PO matching
Raise purchase orders per vendor per project. Match incoming invoices to POs. Unmatched bills get flagged before they turn into unbudgeted project costs.
Milestone invoicing and AR tracking
Raise client invoices the moment a project milestone completes. Track what is paid, what is outstanding, and what is overdue, across every project and every client, in one view.
Team allocation across sites
See how your engineers and field teams are distributed across active projects. Spot who is stretched thin and who has capacity, before it affects delivery or burns out your best people.
HRMS built for field-heavy engineering firms
Onboarding, attendance, leave, payroll, expenses, and performance for both office staff and site teams, all on the same platform as your projects and invoicing. One system, not five.
Tally, spreadsheets, and WhatsApp, or purpose-built
project management software for civil engineering.
Most civil engineering firms track project costs in Excel, manage HR over email, and chase subcontractor bills on WhatsApp. That works until the margin problems become impossible to ignore and by then, the cost of the status quo is already visible.

Couldn't find what you're looking for? Our team has implemented Juntrax with civil engineering firms from 15 to 500 employees.
Talk to civil engineering team →No — and that's intentional. Juntrax is not a construction ERP or project management tool. It doesn't handle RFIs, drawing revisions, site safety logs, inspection checklists, or punch lists. What it does is handle the operational layer that runs underneath all of that: who is working on which project, how many hours they've logged, what the subcontractors are costing you, whether you've raised the milestone invoice, and whether your team is being managed and paid correctly.
Juntrax has a mobile app built specifically for field teams. Engineers open the app on their phone, select the project and task, and log their hours. They can do it mid-shift or at the end of the day from any location. Supervisors and project managers can review and approve from either mobile or desktop. No laptop required on site. Mobile timesheet compliance is one of the most significant improvements civil engineering customers report after going live on Juntrax.
Yes. You raise a purchase order for each subcontractor engagement, linked to the relevant project. When the vendor submits an invoice, it is matched against that PO. Unmatched invoices are flagged immediately in the system. Costs roll up to the project dashboard automatically, so you see subcontractor spend against budget in real time, not at the end of the month when it is too late to act.
Yes. Juntrax integrates natively with Tally for ledger sync. The typical setup keeps your accounts team working in Tally as they always have. Juntrax manages project tracking, field timesheets, purchase orders, and invoicing, then pushes the journal entries across automatically. Your accounts team does not need to change their workflow, and there is no double entry.
Each project runs independently within Juntrax; its own team, its own budget, its own subcontractors, its own milestones, and its own invoicing schedule. Project directors get a consolidated view across all active projects: costs versus budget, hours logged, invoices raised, and receivables outstanding in a single dashboard. Site-level managers only see their own project data. Firms running 20 or more concurrent projects across multiple geographies use this structure regularly.
For a firm of 80 to 120 people across multiple sites, typical go-live is 3 to 5 weeks: Week 1 covers HR and employee data migration, Week 2 handles project setup and timesheet configuration, Week 3 sets up POs and vendor management, Week 4 covers invoicing and AR/AP, and Week 5 runs a pilot with site teams and full training. Casad Consultants, a 100-person civil engineering firm, completed their rollout within that window and have been live on Juntrax for over 4 years.
Yes. Juntrax serves project-driven engineering and services firms across India, the United States, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The platform supports multi-currency invoicing, INR and USD billing workflows, and is compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and ISO 27001 data security standards. Teams in the US and Middle East typically use Juntrax for the same core workflows: field time tracking, subcontractor management, and milestone billing, adapted to their local invoicing formats.
Generic tools like spreadsheets, Quickbooks, Tally, standalone HR software, are not connected to your project layer. That disconnect is precisely where margin leaks. An unmatched subcontractor invoice in a tool that does not know which project it belongs to is an unreconciled cost. Juntrax integrates HR, field timesheets, subcontractor POs, project budgets, milestone invoicing, and AR/AP into one platform so that every labour hour, every vendor bill, and every client payment traces back to a specific project. That connection is what makes real-time cost visibility possible for civil engineering firms.
Yes. The Juntrax HRMS handles onboarding, attendance, leave, payroll processing, expense claims, and performance management for both office-based and field-based employees. Civil engineering firms typically have a mix of permanent staff and site-deployed engineers on project rotations; Juntrax manages both under the same system, with role-based access so field staff see only what is relevant to them.
