Frequently asked questions

Can I purchase Pipeline if I don’t have Monograph?

Short answer: no — Pipeline is built to work inside Monograph.

Pipeline is designed to connect opportunities directly to your firm’s financials, staffing, and delivery data. Because of that, it’s only available as part of the Monograph platform.

This ensures that pipeline forecasts reflect real capacity, real revenue timing, and real firm constraints.

Is Pipeline a CRM tool for architects and engineers?

Pipeline is not a traditional CRM — and that’s intentional.

Most CRMs are built for sales teams, quotas, and deal velocity. Pipeline is built for architecture and engineering firms that need to understand:

  • Which opportunities are real
  • When work will actually start
  • Whether the firm can take on more work

Pipeline focuses on forecasting, visibility, and capacity-aware decision-making.

Does Pipeline support e-signatures on Proposals?

Yes — Pipeline supports e-signatures on proposals.

This allows firms to track proposal status, signatures, and committed work in one place, without relying on disconnected contract tools or email threads.

How is Pipeline different from other A/E solutions?

Pipeline is purpose-built for how A/E firms actually operate.

Unlike generic CRMs, spreadsheet-based lead tracking, or back-office systems, Pipeline:

  • Connects opportunities to capacity and delivery, not just revenue
  • Helps firms forecast when work will start, not just if it might close
  • Is designed for firm leaders and PMs — not sales teams

The result is clearer visibility, better planning, and fewer surprises as work moves from pursuit to delivery.

How much does Pipeline cost?

Pipeline pricing depends on your firm size and how you’re using Monograph.

Because Pipeline is part of the Monograph platform, pricing is tailored to ensure it fits cleanly into your broader firm management setup.

The best way to get accurate pricing is to talk with our team, who can walk through your firm’s needs and structure.

Can Pipeline replace my current CRM?

For many A/E firms, yes — for others, it works alongside one.

If your firm uses a CRM mainly to track opportunities, forecast revenue, and understand future work, Pipeline can often replace that workflow.

If you rely on a CRM for heavy marketing automation or outbound sales activity, Pipeline typically complements those tools while serving as the source of truth for firm-wide forecasting and planning.
