Mapper is a project and workload tracking tool designed specifically for small architecture and design firms, typically teams of 3 to 12 people.
Most small firms outgrow spreadsheets, docs, and email threads but find enterprise project management tools overbuilt, expensive, and never built specifically for how smaller studios actually work. Mapper is the middle ground: lightweight enough to start using on day one, focused enough to give owners and project managers real clarity over their projects and their people. If you've been searching for architecture project management or tracking software or a lightweight resource planning tool for smaller to mid-sized teams, Mapper gives you project tracking, staffing, and scheduling without the bloat.
There are 3 core features:
Projects: A visual dashboard that maps every active project by phase, from pipeline through construction administration. Each project holds the essential details your team needs to understand where things stand and pick up exactly where they left off, so status updates stop living in your inbox.
Planner: A weekly view of who's working on what, by day, week, and month. This is what sets Mapper apart from a typical project tracker: instead of only showing tasks, it shows your team's workload and capacity, making it obvious when someone's overloaded and when you have room to take on the next project.
Calendar: A clean month view that surfaces only project-related events: tasks, deadlines, and milestones. No personal-calendar clutter, just the dates that affect your firm's delivery.
Together, these give firm owners, principals, and project managers three things that are hard to pull out of a spreadsheet: project visibility, staffing and workload clarity, and far less time spent chasing updates.
Mapper is intentionally narrow. It isn't your accounting system, a CRM, or your document manager. It does one job: plan, staff, and track projects with clarity.
Pricing is simple at $3 per seat per month, with a 14-day free trial.
