“Can a purpose-built A&E project-finance SaaS displace generic PSA tools and spreadsheets as the practice operating system for architecture and engineering firms?”
Fresh Projects is a UK-headquartered vertical SaaS platform (Fresh Projects Cloud Ltd, reg. 10011315) built specifically for architecture, engineering, and built-environment professional services firms. It focuses on project financial management — fee calculation, timesheets, expenses, invoicing, profitability, resourcing, and forecasting — and explicitly positions itself against generic PSA tools (Deltek, Monograph, Cmap, WorkflowMax). It is a pure SaaS subscription business with no embedded finance products of its own; its 'finance' angle is reporting and integration into accounting systems (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, MYOB), not money movement.
