What software do engineering firms use to run projects, QA/QC and the PE seal?
Truss OS is engineering firm software from Accelerated Experiences LLC that runs the firm in one system: pursuits and fees, projects by phase, RFIs and submittals, calcs with an independent check, the PE seal, permits and billing. Civil, mechanical or software, one core runs the firm and you switch the discipline module. It is one flat monthly price, never per seat.
Truss OS is a discipline-agnostic practice management platform for engineering firms from Accelerated Experiences LLC: pursuit go/no-go and fee proposals, a phase-native project spine, RFI and submittal ball-in-court, calc packages through QA/QC, a PE seal gate on issued-for-construction sets, permit tracking with the AHJ, billing and firm KPIs. Flat-rate licensing per firm in three tiers; no seat-based pricing.
What Truss OS does
The PE seal gate
Nothing goes out for construction until a licensed engineer seals it. Sets waiting for the stamp sit on the home screen.
Calcs get a second check
Calc packages go through an independent check before they are allowed near a set, and the ones waiting are counted every day.
One system, every discipline
Civil, mechanical or software: the same core runs the firm and you switch the module.
Pursuits with a go or no-go
Every pursuit gets a go or no-go, and the fee proposal is built before the letter goes out.
RFIs, submittals and permits
Who has the ball on every RFI and submittal, and every permit in review, so nothing waits on the engineer unnoticed.
The firm's health numbers
Utilization, net multiplier, realization, backlog, AR and WIP come from the same hours and invoices, not rebuilt at quarter end.
PE seal gate
No set issues for construction until a licensed engineer seals it; ready-to-seal and sealed sets surface on the home screen.
QA/QC on calc packages
Calc packages route through an independent check before release to a set, with the review queue counted daily.
Discipline modules
A universal core with swappable discipline modules (civil, mechanical, software); change the module, not the platform.
Pursuit management
Go/no-go decisions on every pursuit, with fee proposals built before the proposal letter.
RFIs, submittals and permits
Ball-in-court tracking on RFIs and submittals; permits tracked in review with the authority having jurisdiction.
Firm KPIs
Utilization, net multiplier, realization, backlog, AR and WIP derived from the same timesheets and invoices.
