Professional Services Solution for Contract Compliance and Timely Billing

We used BQE across the entire organization for our time collection, expense reporting, contract management, and billing system. It seamlessly integrates with Quickbooks and allowed us the flexibility to create processes that allowed for easy validation between systems. We used this to connect with our consultants out on the road via the mobile app or Web Suite module. We had the ability to set up automated reporting and to ensure everyone knew what was expected and had the information they needed at their fingertips.

Utilizing the contract management section along side our time and expense entry into the system allowed us to reduce our billing days from 15 to 3 to 5 days.

Most importantly however, is when we have encountered issues, the team at BQE are willing to listen and solve the issue at hand.

  • Contract managment
  • Billing
  • Intergration with Quickbooks
Cons
  • Intergration with Payroll
  • Forcasting tool is lacking
  • Predictive analytics / tools for service organizations
  • Built in report writer
It is great for service based organziations where time and expense is billed to clients. If a flexible and secure system is needed, this system offers you the ability to use the system they way you want to use it.

Its Core!

BQE's customizable home page is excellent. Although a little tricky to customize once it is set up it serves as a very effective dashboard for quick accounting reviews. Time entry is very simple and phase breakdowns can be very easily set up and understood. Highly recommend.
  • Time management
  • Customization
  • Transparency
Cons
  • Organization
  • Labeling of sections
  • Time input areas
BQE is well suited for small-medium scale architecture firms working in a set phase system. If phases of projects are ever-changing project to project it becomes much more challenging.

ArchiOffice for Better Management

In our company ArchiOffice is used across all levels from interns and managers, to principles. We use ArchiOffice to track our time and expenses on projects and to establish a project team . We use ArchiOffice to set up projects and to track if a project is under or over budget and to delineate tasks and expenses associated with our consultants.
  • ArchiOffice helps me manage my time throughout the work day.
  • ArchiOffice helps me to understand how much time I have allocated to each client and to give me a realistic view on how long each task actually takes.
  • ArchiOffice gives me a breakdown of the time and expenses our company has allocated to each project.
Cons
  • I would like to see more of a scheduling component, to manage projects across our project team.
  • I would like to receive a notification if a project is going over budget.
  • I have to remember to double click to clear a contact, or the contact will be overridden.
ArchiOffice is great for our firm in the sense that I can track my time throughout the work day and see how the project is doing as a whole compared to the budget we set in place. ArchiOffice would be more useful for my position in the company if I could see the hours spent by other team members on the same project to better manage the time spent on the project and to better make informed decisions on creating future proposals.

CORE is a real timesaver!

Using CORE to invoice our clients has freed up so much of my time I'm afraid I could have streamlined myself out of a job. Billing previews that used to take days are now done in hours. The time to create invoices and submit them for approval takes about 25% of the time before CORE. Easy to learn and a breeze to use.
  • Billing previews.
  • Organized invoices.
  • Project management.
  • Accounting interfaces.
Cons
  • Additional training hours needed in installation packages.
  • User need the ability to create templates and not rely on tech support.
  • The occasional lag time.
Billing previews that used to take days are now done in hours. The time to create invoices and submit them for approval takes about 25% of the time before CORE. Easy to learn and a breeze to use. CORE is a very complex software system to set up, but once we worked out all of the nuances and specifications, this software rocks!

We run BQE CORE as our main software for the company and house all project details, invoicing, our bookkeeper utilizes this software for our books, and we also use the massive reporting data to help make the financial decisions for our business.
  • Reporting
  • Invoicing made easy
  • Support who is always available to help
Cons
  • reporting can be quite complicated getting set up
  • Have a better trainer when learning the product
  • Custom Reporting be included in your package, but maybe limit how many a year you can have.
BQE CORE is perfect with the reporting features, but I do feel that free custom reporting (with a limit) should be included.
