“Entering time is a pain. BQE Core makes it bearable. ”
Pros
BQE Core is an intuitive and easy-to-use platform for the time entry and project tracking functions that I use it for. I can tell that it can do a lot more, and I hope to explore all its potential in the future.
Cons
There are a few UI behaviors that I would consider quirky, but most software has some form of this.

“BQE Core usage”
Pros
BQE Core has streamlined our office! It has simplified the futile challenge of transcribing daily written timebook entries into other accounting software. Gone are the days of trying to read handwriting, missed time, lost notes, and errors in billing. Having BQE Core at all employees fingertips saves time and costs for the business.

None

“Simple and easy to use”
Pros
I use BQE Core every day to log my hours worked on different projects. It is very easy to use, simple and fast. I can just select the project I worked on and the time on each project. I like that I can change the layout so I can visualize my time by week, bi-weekly and monthly. I have used it a couple of times to submit expenses as well and I get the same experience, intuitive and friendly UI.
Cons
There is no direct access to the function I use the most which are the time entries.

“CORE for Engineers”
Pros
CORE offers a dynamic time and expense features for the employees along with billing and invoicing features that streamline the business accounting needs. Invoicing and accounts receivable are organized to allow us to focus on creating business value instead of cumbersome tasks. CORE also has a lot of Reports for all types of items (i.e. time card, aged invoices, expenses, etc.)
Cons
The invoicing module can require a lot of clicking if the time and expense entries arent processed correctly. Invoicing module offers dynamic update for minor adjustments after preparing an invoice. Budgeting module requires upfront setup time to use for each project. CORE does not have payroll but what I understand they are in the process of integrating into the software.
