BQE Core

Overall Satisfaction with BQE CORE

My company uses BQE CORE to track billable hours to clients as well as non-billable hours (PTO, company events, etc.) that are spent during each work week. We previously did not have a program/system that showed us a breakdown of how our hours were being utilized but the pie charts in this software definitely solve that issue for us and help to visualize how my time is being spent.
  • Inputting PTO requests
  • Creating charts and graphs that breakdown your project/work hours
  • Mobile app user interface
  • User interface could be easier to navigate
  • Speed of program (lags when inputting time)
  • Time sometimes disappears and I have to put the time in again
  • Tracking billable hours
  • Understanding of how your weekly hours are being spent
I don't recall the previous program we used as this was years ago, but we had to put in time manually each week and this was very time consuming. BQE CORE keeps your projects in the timesheet from week to week to you don't have to reinput the project number.

Did BQE CORE live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of BQE CORE go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy BQE CORE again?

Yes

I love that you are able to submit PTO requests directly to your manager or director for approval. It's also helpful that it keeps track of all the PTO time you have used and unused throughout the year. This definitely eliminates the hassle of having to go to accounting to know the balance of your PTO hours.

Using BQE CORE

The timesheet lags and this has been a problem since I started using the program years ago. I have no yet seen any resolve to this.
