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. ----- ### "Great Product" — 5.0/5 > **Cassidy** | *3 January 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is organized; everything is easy to find. Clear labels, info graphics, and tutorials are great > > **Cons**: I did find the expenses portion to be a little confusing > > Overall, very satisfied with using the program ----- ### "Do not get this software" — 1.0/5 > **Shannon** | *13 January 2022* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can have access through any computer. This the only good thing > > **Cons**: 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 have never in 25 years worked with a more frustrating software and unreliable software ----- ### "BQE makes time keeping and tracking simple" — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *27 August 2024* | Utilities | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good for time-sheet tracking. Both for yourself and tracking time billed to projects. Easy input with a well-working search feature and "Load Recent Activities" button. Also breaks up billable and non-billable time for you. > > **Cons**: Our company does not use the Project Planning/Tracking App, so not comment on the usability of that. > > BQE makes time keeping and tracking relatively easy. Good layout for site navigation. You can add widgets to your "dashboard" for what is important to you. ----- ### "Review of the beginning of the year" — 5.0/5 > **Celin** | *5 January 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can schedule my work hours and it tells me the total hours worked. > > **Cons**: What I like least is that I have to post it every week instead of it being a biweekly report. > > In the time I've been using it, at first I thought it was an odyssey, but then I realized how easy it is to see the hours you work and the hours you don't, and it gives you control to know what to do. ----- Page: 1 / 33\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/90351/bqe-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/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
