Environmental consultants
Site characterization, sampling, regulatory monitoring, biodiversity assessments. CANOPE understands your experts’ work in the field and back at the office, turning every day into clean, billable data that’s ready for the client.
A technician samples across three sites, drives 200 km, pays for parking and lunch. By evening they’re exhausted, and the timesheet waits, sometimes for days. Billable hours and mileage get lost along the way, and no one notices.
You wait on results from an outside lab, front its costs, and the purchase order sits buried in an inbox. When it’s time to bill, no one knows whether the fixed-fee mandate has already burned through its subcontracting budget.
A fixed-fee impact study drifts: more boreholes than planned, a report reworked three times. You catch it at billing, once the margin is already gone. No one saw it coming, because no one had time to track the budget task by task.
CANOPE
CANOPE reconstructs your team’s field day and prepares the timesheet, each block already tied to the right site and the right task. The technician validates instead of typing it in.
From appointments and travel, CANOPE proposes mileage, charges parking and meals to the right mandate, and readies them for rebilling.
CANOPE spots time spent on a site or file that never reached an invoice, and flags the missing billable hours before they vanish.
On every fixed-fee study, CANOPE tracks progress borehole by borehole, report by report, and predicts the overrun while you can still act on it.
CANOPE knows where each lab purchase order stands, reconciles fronted costs against the mandate, and makes sure a subcontracted analysis always lands on a client invoice.
A day with CANOPE
8 a.m. Karine heads out to sample a former industrial site. Her field appointment is already tied to the remediation mandate in CANOPE.
All day she collects samples, logs observations, drives from one lot to the next. She never touches a form.
5 p.m. CANOPE has reconstructed her day: four hours of sampling on the right sub-project, the mileage between sites, lunch charged to the mandate.
She opens her already-prepared timesheet, fixes one line, validates. Her expenses head off for rebilling.
At the same moment, CANOPE tells the project lead that the fixed-fee sampling budget is 80% spent, before the next borehole.
Your experts are in the field to understand the environment, not to fill in boxes. CANOPE handles the rest.
