Case Study: FORECON achieves streamlined operations and real-time invoicing visibility with Unanet A/E

FORECON Streamlines Operations and Gains Vital Insight with Unanet A/E

FORECON, a regional forestry and natural resources consulting firm managing private forests and investment-grade timberlands, faced growing strain from outdated administrative systems. For decades the company used three‑ring binders, Client Manager, QuickBooks, and spreadsheets for timekeeping and billing, and when Client Manager was being sunset the firm needed a modern, integrated timekeeping, accounting, and project-management solution—after a two‑year evaluation they selected Unanet A/E.

Working with Unanet, FORECON executed a tailored implementation that migrated 15 years of time and expense data across nearly 15,000 projects and set up customized processes for timekeeping, expenses, finance, and billing across 40+ employees in five offices. The result was real‑time visibility into invoicing and accounting, streamlined multi‑line invoices, new revenue and margin reporting by office and project type, and clear insight into billed, paid and unbilled work—enabling more strategic, data‑driven management.
