I have been using BQE Software for over 1 year. I have been regularly logging hours and expenses as part of my daily work. I love the app version where I can take a picture of my receipt and discard it immediately, this has saved me a lot of time by passing the expenses directly to the accounting team. Tracking billable hours is also quite easy and there are a couple of options to do it, from using project timers that you can pause and resume to the old manual entry method. Overall, I am very happy with this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface, although it has improved a lot, I believe it could be more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is very helpful that BQE CORE allows for my hours to be logged broken down by client, project, and project phase. It leads to seamless hour tracking between me and my team leadership so that the client is invoiced accurately, and so that the whole team has a good understanding of how much time a particular task takes.

Initially, it was not the most user-friendly and it took me a minute to get used to where everything was that I needed. However, I picked it up quickly and I think everyone else will as well! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BQE Core makes invoicing and expensing a breeze. The process is simple and any needed adjustments are quick and easy to make. Customer service is always helpful, and I can usually find the answers to my questions in the BQE Core Assistant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BQE Core could run faster, however, the ease of using the system makes up for it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a comprehensive suite of software, not lacking much. It has a user friendly feel and contains an API. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it can be laggy and may require a couple refreshes prior to actual timecard submission. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of inputting time and expenses. I generally use the app, and inputting time and expenses is very easy to do. It is easy to modify, edit, and submit time especially when traveling for work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The app has an issue of updating the correct project. When I add time for the whole week at once and use the 'next cell' after submitting a time for a day. The app changes the project. So I have to exit out of the menu screen and manually click on each day for the same project. It would be nice if I hit ''next cell' it would stay on the same project. This is really not a big deal but a flaw I'd like to see fixed eventually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BQE Core does a great job with Billing and Invoicing, Time Management and workflow automation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The implementation process was a little clunky, but the team is responsive and wants the experience to be solid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The technical help line guys do a great job. My waits are short and the assistance is very helpful. I use software everyday - almost all day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The software is still a bit NON uder friendly. It is geting better and moving in the right direction. There are still things about ArchiOffice that I miss and would be very helpful to the team. Some of these things keep the team (26 people) from using it more as I believe they should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The layout and design is very intuitive. Since I use it daily, I appreciate how easy it is to navigate. Everything is right where I need it -- no digging through menus or searching endless pages to get where I need to go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The one downside I'd like to see improved is speed. Sometimes certain aspects of the website can be slow to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
More user-friendly than BQE Classic for sure Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
BQE's policies and pricing: I had a subscription with BQE Classic for seven years. The price went up 80% in 7 years, and I didn't notice any improvement. BQE Core is even more expensive. As a very small company, it's untenable. Also, there are all the extra fees and charges. BQE charges $595 to export your own data after expiration/cancellation. That's more than what it costs to renew for another year, and export it yourself. Even QuickBooks gives their users 60 days of free 'read only' access to their own data after expiration/cancellation. In addition, during my time as a BQE subscriber, I was less than impressed by how they treated me as a customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use and ability to see all of the details for the week in one view (or month, if chosen). Reports are easy to run as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is probably related to our security setup for our company, but if you forget to add your receipt on expenses before you save, you are unable to edit and add it after the fact. Also, if would be great if you could copy an expense and modify it for recurring monthly expenses. I've tried the copy function and either it is not working or I just need to research a little further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
