Most engineering firms are growing.Far fewer are improving margins.
Headcount is up. Utilization isn't. Projects ship — but profit doesn't. Juntrax is built for engineering services firms tired of guessing where the leak is. People, projects, and finances on one platform — so every billable hour reaches the invoice.

5 places your margin
quietly disappears.
Engineering firms don't lose money in big dramatic ways. They lose it 15 minutes, 1 PO, and 1 unsubmitted timesheet at a time — across hundreds of projects and dozens of engineers.
Unlogged time
Engineers forget. Friday submissions die in WhatsApp. By month-end, 10–15% of billable work simply isn't on a timesheet — so it never makes the invoice.
Bench-blind utilization
Half your team is double-booked while three engineers sit on bench. Nobody can see it until the month closes — and the bench cost has already shipped.
Scope creep absorbed
"Just one more revision." "Quick add-on." Without budget tracking on the project, scope expands silently — and your fixed-fee margin goes with it.
Late invoicing
Project ends Tuesday. Invoice goes out 3 weeks later. Cash sits with the client instead of in your business — and 1 in 4 invoices needs a correction.
Reimbursement chaos
Travel, software, freelancers. Receipts in inboxes, claims in spreadsheets, approvals in chat. Half are forgotten — and the other half are billed back late.
From leaks to lift — one platform, one ledger.
Each leak above maps to a Juntrax module. The hours flow into the timesheet, the timesheet flows into the invoice, the invoice flows into the cash forecast — without anyone re-keying a number.

What changes when the leaks close.
Modeled on the median Juntrax engineering customer. Your numbers will vary, but the direction won't.
From 3-hour meetings to 3-minute reports.
A multi-region engineering services firm with teams across the EU, US, and India. Used Juntrax to consolidate seven spreadsheets and three tools into one source of truth — and turn quarterly profitability reviews from a fight into a workflow.
We've been using Juntrax since 2019, and it has completely changed the way we operate across our global teams. Stakeholders now get accurate monthly updates on project profitability, and managers can easily approve timesheets, allocate resources, and plan capacity in one place.
What 5 points of utilization is worth.
Drag the sliders. The math doesn't lie. (And neither do your spreadsheets — you're just looking at the wrong cells.)
Your firm
Conservative engineering services assumptions; tweak to your reality.
Engineering-firm features
your generic ERP doesn't have.
Most ERPs were built for trading or manufacturing. Juntrax was built for the way services firms actually run projects.
Project profitability — live
Real-time burn vs. budget on every project. Cost roll-up by role, region, and rate card. P&L per engagement, not per quarter.
Resource heatmap
See team capacity at a glance — across regions, skills, and weeks. Drag to allocate. Auto-flag the bench & the over-burned.
Multi-currency invoicing
Bill EU clients in EUR, US in USD, India in INR — from the same project. FX captured at issuance. Automatic GST & VAT.
AI margin alerts
Juntrax watches every project and flags margin drops 14 days before they hit the books. So you fix scope, not blame Excel.
HR built for billable orgs
Onboarding, leaves, payroll & performance — wired to project assignments. Performance reviews tied to the projects engineers shipped.
Stakeholder dashboards
Custom dashboards per role: CEOs see margin, Ops sees utilization, Finance sees DSO, PMs see burn-down. No spreadsheet exports.
Spreadsheets, generic ERPs,
or Juntrax. Pick one.
Most engineering firms run on Excel until it cracks, then bolt on a generic ERP that wasn't built for billable services. Here's the comparison nobody wants you to do.

Questions we get from engineering teams.
Couldn't find what you're looking for? Reach out — our team has implemented Juntrax with engineering firms from 5 to 500 engineers.
Talk to engineering team →For a 25–100 engineer firm, typical go-live is 2–4 weeks: 1 week for HRMS data + payroll, 1 week for PSA (projects, timesheets, rate cards), 1 week for Cash-Flow setup & integrations, 1 week pilot. Bigger firms with multi-region & multi-entity setups land at 6–8 weeks.
Yes. Juntrax integrates with Tally, QuickBooks, Xero and SAP for ledger sync. Most engineering firms keep their accountant in their existing system — Juntrax handles project, time, and invoicing data, then pushes the journal entries.
Each region runs its own legal entity, currency, and tax rules within the same Juntrax instance. Engineers see their own time in local time zone; finance sees consolidated P&L in your reporting currency. Rate cards by region, role, and seniority.
We provide guided migration: employee records, project history, open invoices, and timesheet history. Most engineering customers come from a mix of spreadsheets + Zoho People + a basic project tool — we've migrated all three before.
No. A 10-engineer firm leaks margin in the same five places as a 500-engineer firm — just at smaller absolute numbers. Juntrax has a Starter tier built for teams of 10–25 with the same core PSA & HRMS modules, deployed in under a week.
Cloud is standard (ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA). On-prem & private-cloud deployments are available for enterprise customers — typically engineering firms with government / defense contracts that require it.
