Case Study: Nicholson Kovalchick Architects reduces billing time and processes 60% more invoices with Axium

Architecture firm cuts monthly billing cycle from seven to one days, while increasing invoice volume 60%.

Nicholson Kovalchick Architects, a growing architecture firm specializing in sustainable multi-family urban housing, struggled with a labor-intensive monthly billing process, limited project visibility, and a patchwork of three separate systems that could not keep up with rapid growth. The firm evaluated QuickBooks alternatives and selected Axium’s Ajera for integrated accounting, time entry, and project management.

With Axium’s Ajera, Nicholson Kovalchick Architects moved to one centralized system accessed through the Project Command Center, giving project managers real-time visibility and better control over project performance. The results were significant: the billing cycle dropped from seven to ten days to just one day, a reduction of more than 85%, and the firm was able to process 60% more invoices each month without adding administrative staff.
