Its user-friendly interface, customizable dashboards, and real-time insights boost efficiency and streamline operations. > > **Cons**: Nothing came to my mind at this moment. It is very user friendly > > CORE’s ability to handle project budgets and automate tasks makes it a valuable asset for improving productivity and organization. ----- ### "Excellent Software" — 5.0/5 > **Cynthia** | *September 25, 2024* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ability to speak to someone who knows the software when an issue arises. > > **Cons**: Honestly I don't have an issue with it at all. We got the product BillQuick first and then went online to Core, which was a blessing because a couple of months later the pandemic hit and we were all homebound. > > Excellent - their people know the product, when you call with an issue you SPEAK to someone who is knowledgeable. They answer the phone which is such a great thing ----- ### "Great invoicing platform for Time Based Civil Engineering" — 3.0/5 > **Melidee** | *February 1, 2024* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Time tracking; overall look of the invoices; tracking payments > > **Cons**: Needs to improve features like adding email to each project; being able to make notes only visible to us on an invoice; seeing payment dates while looking at invoice (this takes several steps by going to the project tab); CORE can be slow and I find I have to enter 2-3 times before it will respond (Server issue?); Being able to create our own "template" for what assignments need to be used when creating a project and there's more not specified here. ----- ### "BQE Core key to Business Operations" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *December 13, 2022* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: BQE Core is critical to the overall operation of our business. CORE allows us to charge time and expenses to different projects, in which we utilize CORE's invoicing suite to invoice customers in a timely manner. CORE's suite helps us manage cashflow and WIP better than we ever have before. > > **Cons**: CORE has moments where the platform loads very slowly. Invoices can be customized, but that comes at a cost. We would like for CORE to have the ability to allow it's customers to customize their own invoice templates. When a project has many phases, invoicing by master project is not possible. > > CORE allows us to operate efficiently as a business. Overall, the CORE product I would recommend to any business who relies on billable hours as their core business. The ability to invoice directly from the platform and customize project fields are nice features. ----- ### "This product delivers...if you want it, it can be done." — 4.0/5 > **Deborah** | *June 12, 2023* | Maritime | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: once full integration is close, one can really see how the product can fully encompass all aspects. full analysis can be achieved if all data is inputted, but only then. if pieces are missing, so is the entire impact. time keeping can be accurate for all the employees...same story, expenses can be fully analyzed, project costing can be fully analyzed...but one must enter all of the data. it replaces most existing processes so it's difficult for some to "move on" so as not to duplicate. there are some glitches, but there usually is. > > **Cons**: there might be too many features...not all businesses have them and while some recognize it, some will try to fill in all the blanks and this can be time wasteful. while there is a lot of "help", "dumbing it down" is never a bad thing. why not make it easy to understand? not everyone is an engineer...admins use it as well so keep it easy to understand for all. this gets more important the bigger the company gets...will support more administrative positions, so use the "kiss" principle-keep it simple st\*\*\*d. admins will get these tasks delegated to them ultimately so make it easier to understand no matter the degree/education > > the exec. appreciates the overall business analysis that can be obtained, time keeping is given back to the body of the staff and not the admin. staff, and can be seen and impacted live. project management is a complete task, not just partial tasks here and some in another area. Generally positive...difficult at first because change is hard, but once the benefits are realized, embraced ultimately. ----- Page: 1 / 33\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/90351/bqe-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/90351/bqe-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
