Control the chaos
You got into this business to work on what matters – to design award-winning buildings, improve communities, support a firm strategically. However, you end up chasing timecards, cobbling together spreadsheets, and being pulled in eight different directions. You want to do what you love (or get home before 10pm), but the day-to-day gets in the way.
There’s not even enough time to think about making operational improvements – but you’ll be stuck in this loop if you never control the chaos. There is never a better time than today to make a change.

The only Firm Management solution for the entire firm.
We see two typical archetypes in the market. First, there’s financial management software. The accounting staff is happy but getting principals and project staff to use it is like pulling teeth. Then, there’s project management software. It might help keep one-off projects on-track, but it’s not improving the operations or financial management of the firm. Neither archetype helps drive step-change improvement in the firm – or your state of mind.
BQE CORE is the only software that serves the entire Firm, from proposal to cash. It’s both configurable enough to serve your firm’s unique needs but easy enough to use that everyone engages.

"Dashboards are an amazing quick view of an overall snapshot of what is going on. I love the ability to customize and set up multiple dashboards for Accounting, HR, Project Management, etc. The ability to fine-tune a time period is one of the best features. Time Sheets are easy to use for staff with minimal training."

"Going to BQE CORE was a great change for our firm. We have found that keeping our worked hours and expenses has been much easier for staff, and project management has improved. It still seems that we keep finding great new features. Worth the change."

"We're a small firm that varies in size and BQE CORE allows the flexibility to expand and contract and provide our staff the tools to manage their workflow, work within budgeted fees and time allocation, and track milestones and progress of project delivery. While many simply clock in, they don't monitor their progress and CORE provides a daily snapshot of time management and meeting project schedules, while I was the principal of design can do more of that…design! "

"BQE CORE is used in the company mainly to track time spent working on projects for third-party companies so we can bill them for that time. It's easy to track time with this tool due to its simplicity; it's been a breeze to integrate it with the flow of each employee who needs to use it with minimal effort in training. BQE CORE is a great tool for big teams."

"We use BQE CORE for Project Management, Time & Expense tracking, Accounting and Billing, Human Resources and as a CRM Platform. Being able to input information into one platform for use across many different modules saves time and energy on our administrative staff. All of the data is tracked and displayed in efficient widgets and customizable dashboards. The customized reports are very helpful as well. You can drill down all or only what you want to see. Customer service is responsive and able to sort out issues quickly."
Russell B
Goldstream Engineering

"We utilize BQE CORE to track hours, manage projects, and organize our work. The ease of use and access we have to monitor our utilization is amazing; the ability to compile reports from time entry memos makes project closeout a breeze. Specifically, BQE CORE is just a massive time saver and the additional widgets allow for monitoring of individual employee metrics (utilization rates, budget, etc.) which has really been an eye-opener."
Dawn S

"I utilize BQE CORE for many Accounts Payable functions. Its streamlined program makes my job so much easier. I've worked with several accounting software over my career. BQE CORE is one of my favorites. It's very easy to use, and will make things so much easier. Looking forward to more upgrades and additional modules."
