BQE Core

Overall Satisfaction with BQE Core

We use BQE Core for time and expense tracking, as well as project management services. As many of our projects are billed on an hourly basis, it is imperative that we are able to track our time accurately and quickly. BQE makes this a very easy and simplified process. Being able to assign to-do's is also a good way of ensuring everyone stays on track with a project and that nothing falls through the cracks. BQE Core has been a very valuable tool for our team.

Once BQE Core was set up for our team, it was fairly intuitive to figure out how to use it. Obviously all new systems take some getting used to, but maneuvering around the system is easy and the dashboard (especially the customization component) helps keep everything organized. Sometimes the system runs slowly and we've had to call for technical support. BQE Core has always been responsive and usually addressed our issue in the same day.
Our team has had to contact support on a number of occasions, mostly to address a slow system and/or not being able to log in. The support is very responsive and fixes the issue within the same day. Additionally, any time we need to modify codes, BQE helps with that support and gets it turned around quickly.
BQE is well suited for time tracking which is a key feature for our business. As it stands right now, I think it's not as effective strictly as a project management tool. I feel that there is room to build out this component of the system. Right now it relies mostly on user updates/check-ins/edits.
