We went from no project management system and manual accounting. This has improved our productivity and improved profits.
Pros
Setup was very easy, the support was great at each step. It is the most cost effective for a small firm. At any time I can call or email a question and get a quick response. They are constantly updating and improving the system.
Cons
Updates sometimes cause lags the system, but if you sign up for updates they will let you know when they are doing them.

BQE Core key to Business Operations

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.
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.
Reasons for Switching to BQE CORE Suite
BQE Core met our business needs better. The ability to customize project fields, bill multiple classifications for one individual on the same project, and the ability to invoice directly from the project time and expenses were the main factors in our decision.- Industry: Arts & Crafts

JUST DONT!!!!!! Refused to give refund after acknowledging it doesn't work

It was the most expensive waste of time I've experienced in a long while. It's right up there with Yelp advertising.
Once you get pay it's over. I determined that this didn't work for me at a bout 2 weeks in. But, I was patient and tried to work through it with them. Roughly a month later, we came to the understanding that it doesn't do what I need, and they can't make it do what I need. (Quickbooks and Method Crm was doing this stuff before)
I asked for a refund or even for the remainder of the year I paid for. I was told they "Don't Do Refunds"
So, They're cool with over-promising, Taking $650, understanding that you're not using the program any longer, and are dissatisfied.
Pretty Lame If You Ask Me
Pros
The Sales guy was really friendly and try to rush me into a holiday sale. I should have known.
Cons
It was promised to be totally customizable to any business. It absolutely was not. I spoke with customer service well over 10 times, probably 20 calls. They could show me how things were set up, but never really able to make it work with my business flow as I had with Quickbooks.
The program was often slow and sluggish between screen changes (I have very fast ethernet connection 250mbps DL speed). Many features were on different screens and made for a lot of loading time between simple tasks. Again....not customizable when I bring it up.
