Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use BQE to organize, review, and send invoices to clients, see our productivity with projects with cost rates versus bill rates, and we especially use the reports to get information for clients, townships, and engineers to keep track of their projects. This product addresses our itemized invoice issue that we previously had - we got the software in order to get a more detailed report/invoice than what anything else could offer.

Usability

I give it a 9 because it is user friendly, but again, there is so much to learn that it's difficult and time consuming at times, in my office's experience.

Support Rating

10 for them always answering the phones. I almost want to give it a 9 since sometimes they aren't timely with following up via email, though. But usually friendly and helpful!

Likelihood to Recommend

BQE is great for people who have time to ensure they creation of their reports and invoicing. The software can be wonderful, but it is timely to learn, to use, to explore, to memorize. This software wouldn't be suited for people without an administration department to figure out glitches.

Great piece of software; though, time-consuming to learn and navigate issues!
