The Next-Level Software for Managing Engineering Firms With Robert Yuen

The Next-Level Software for Managing Engineering Firms With Robert Yuen

Running an engineering firm is already hard enough. Why make it worse by using static spreadsheets, many disconnected apps, or (even worse) century-old methods your grandpa used to run his shop? 🤔

That’s why we sat down with Robert Yuen, the CEO and co-founder of Monograph — a business management software designed specifically to help architects and engineers run their firms smoothly and profitably.

As a professional in the AEC industry like all of us at the time, Robert saw firsthand and discussed with coworkers the biggest challenges and mistakes his own firm experienced that held it back. Until one day…

During a happy hour on a Friday night, they asked themselves what it would take to solve those challenges — and that’s when Monograph was born. 💡

Whether you have your own firm, run the firm you work at, or have plans to venture out and start your own thing, you’ll want to listen to this interview. Why?

You'll learn everything Monograph has to offer to streamline your business. 😉 🎧
