BQE CORE Suite

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.

ORE is a very complex software system to set up, but once we worked out all of the nuances and specifications, this software rocks!

I can have access through any computer. This the only good thing

You can count on Mondays of the software not working due to updates that they did, the registries do not add things correctly - ex. The ledger balance is $15,000 and you have an expense of $300 and your new balance is $1000; and the beginning balance of the account is now showing -$33,000 when it was actually 0. We have to keep a separate excel spreadsheet so we know how much money is in our account because random amounts will just pop up in the ledger. When you reconcile you can only see the unreconciled items through a backwards way instead of them appearing on the monthly reconciliation report. Once a contract limit is met, all time goes to non-billable and is never calculated in the total cost of the project. The only way to have all costs allocated to a project is for them to be billed or marked as billed. We are currently looking to switch as soon as possible.

I love all the reports that we can create, track progress of our projects financially, and use it to teach our team about management.

The price to add users is a bit high. The ability to work through custom KPIs is tough.

This is very easy for time management and billing process.

For easily understand there should be some videos for how to use it. I was facing the same issue initially.
