Great invoicing platform for Time Based Civil Engineering
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.

Lots of features, includes an API
Overall, my experience was good. It's a comprehensive suite of software, not lacking much. It can be buggy at times, but there's definitely workarounds that can be done. Additionally, the inclusion of an API is a major selling point over competitors.
Pros
I like how everything has many ways to accomplish the same thing. Not stingy on features.
Cons
Sometimes it can be laggy and require a couple refreshes prior to actual timecard submission

Pros
BQE Core Suite makes invoicing and reconciling expenses fast and efficient, giving us the opportunity to update any items that may need adjusted prior to finalizing any entries each month.
Cons
BQE Core Suite runs a bit slower than we would prefer, but otherwise, it suits all our needs!
