What CMAP does

CMap (legal entity: CMap Software) is a UK-headquartered (Wilmslow) software company that provides an operations and intelligence platform for professional service firms, with a focused vertical strategy targeting architecture and engineering (AEC) practices and management consulting firms. The platform consolidates resourcing, timesheets, project financials, CRM/pipeline management, quoting, invoicing, billing, margin monitoring, and reporting into a single system, replacing the spreadsheets, email filing practices, document repositories, and billing tools that typically fragment service-firm operations. Modular products include CMap for Consulting Firms and CMap for Architects and Engineers as the two industry editions, complemented by CMap Mail (Outlook-native email compliance), CMap PIM (SharePoint-based document and drawing management on Microsoft 365), and CMap Intelligence (an AI and automation add-on embedded in core workflows). The product is built natively on Microsoft 365 with integrations into accounting platforms (Xero, QuickBooks), CRM systems, and BI tools, and is distributed via mobile apps on iOS and Android alongside the core web platform.

The company has operated for over 20 years, serves 700+ customers and 45,000+ users globally, and is privately held with 51–100 employees. Its go-to-market is sales-led and demo-driven (anchored by a "Book a demo" CTA and quote-based pricing) supplemented by a product-led evaluation path comprising product tours, on-demand demos, webinars, a podcast, a blog, and an annual virtual conference (ConCon26). CMap monetizes through annual SaaS subscriptions tiered by firm size and selected product modules, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The company is led by founder and CEO Dave Graham, has no disclosed outside funding rounds or parent company, and has earned multiple G2 recognitions including High Performer in Project-Based ERP for Small Business and in Professional Services Automation for Europe, plus Easiest Setup, Highest User Adoption, and Most Implementable badges in the Project-Based ERP category.
