Most of the time when I have specific report, feature, or activity that I want, I can find what I need quickly. As with many programs, CORE does more than my office utilizes it for. Invoicing and time entry are usually smooth processes. > > **Cons**: We migrated from ArchiOffice and feel that the way contacts are managed in CORE is utterly useless. We've abandoned it in favor of a piecemeal assortment of Office 365 and Mac built-in programs.The structure of projects is also something that can be improved. When a project transforms from hourly to percentage or adds phases, CORE has some flexibility but there are troublesome aspect such as migrating time from a single phase project to ensure it can be captured in invoices. > > Good. Invoicing and time entry in the program fit our needs. There are always more features that we discover when we need more from CORE. ----- ### "BQE Core key to Business Operations" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 December 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. ----- ### "Great invoicing platform for Time Based Civil Engineering" — 3.0/5 > **Melidee** | *1 February 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. ----- ### "Great software for a small firm" — 5.0/5 > **Melissa** | *4 May 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > We went from no project management system and manual accounting. This has improved our productivity and improved profits. ----- ### "CORE is a real time saver \!" — 5.0/5 > **Steven** | *3 August 2022* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Using CORE to invoice our clients has freed up so much of my time I'm afraid I could have streamlined myself out of a job. Billing previews that used to take days are now done in hours. The time to create invoices and submit them for approval takes about 25% of the time before CORE. Easy to learn and a breeze to use. > > **Cons**: ORE is a very complex software system to set up, but once we worked out all of the nuances and specifications, this software rocks\! > > Implementation took longer than expected but has proved worth the extra time to get it right. ----- Page: 1 / 33\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/90351/bqe-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/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
