### "BillQuick - It's all in the name!"

February 9, 2017

5.0

I used BillQuick for years and never looked back! Tracking very important information like EXPENSES and TIME are 100% essential to project organization and overall profitability. BillQuick does just that. The project managers I worked alongside couldn't have been more impressed with the software and made their jobs easier than the kinder garden (not really, buy you get the point). Support was Grade A and the UX was very intuitive. There are some bugs, but easily worked around and fixed in a timely manner.

### "Bill Quick Review"

January 23, 2017

3.0

Bill Quick is aesthetically tolerable, but the functionality of it could use some upgrades. For example, when I create a new entity in the bill quick system, it takes a few refreshers before actually showing up in the search engine. This has caused confusion among my staff, where CPA's will ask those on the administrative side to create client's for them, but when they go to input their hours for that client, they have difficulty finding the entity even though it has already been created in the system.

October 18, 2016

4.0

We have used BQ for the past 13 years. It has been reliable and people have been able to learn the basic input fairly rapidly. Gold support is highly recommended as the Billquick support specialists are very knowledgeable and have been helpful in solving issues we have encountered.

Pros

Ability to review reports for the entire firm. Relative ease of daily use for inputting time.

Cons

Occasional glitches which require restart of program or repair of database

### "BQE Software support"

December 22, 2016

I worked very closely with the representative to solve an issue I was having with ArchiOffice. I was in a bind since AO wasn't able to produce our holiday card list accurately. The representative was very patient and worked with me over many days to solve this issue. He never gave up, despite having a few failed attempts at fixing the problem. He was in contact with me many times to make sure the issue was resolved and after many tries, he got it. I am so thankful for his determination and patience.

5.0

If you are considering purchasing this software for your company, take the leap. The program is great for tracking project time, expense, profitability and budget. Best of all the customer support staff is AMAZING! I've called so many times, I know them by name! They are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and patient. They will walk you through the simple things like running a report or more technical difficulties. No question is to small no task to large. Their customer support team is A+++++!

### "ArchiOffice 2016"

December 10, 2016

3.0

Pros: Access - app syncs nicely with the main project - for timesheet entry Online/web access - makes it platform independent - so you can access program on Mac or PC Duplicate projects - you don't need to start from scratch to create a project Invoice/Transaction Entry - easy to enter and track Cons: Timesheets are not as easy as they could be - other programs allow you to enter time by the week - this is an individual entry per project, per day. NTX is for the project or phase - can't be coded as monthly - tried many work arounds - nothing worked. Back function doesn't work - if you are looking at a timesheet entry in a specific project - you will back out to the home page of the project - not the timesheet screen.

### "Bill Quick Software Use and output"

October 11, 2016

4.0

We use this software for all of out accounting and billing related to projects.

Pros

One of the great things about the software is the capability to send invoices directly to the client and CC the individual in the office working on the project. This allows for future reference, and ability to have first hand understanding of what was sent and when.

Cons

It would be great to be able to send the invoice to others in the office at the same time as it is sent to the client, as this way the entire project team can be abreast of the current project status.

Billquick is a great product that I would highly recommend to any company needing to bring their invoicing system and accounting system together. Additionally Billquick provides amazing reporting and project management functionality.

April 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

Core allows you to enter any number of activity that you can think of, there is no restriction as to Number of activities that can be created in CORE

Cons

When doing time assignment only 50 Activity are displayed. Sorting of Activity is done Alphabetically based on the Codes, there is no other option to Sort the activities based on Sub Codes or Description or Bill Rate

We have used this software for two years and continue to struggle with its full implementation and use. The software is very cumbersome and convoluted with too much clicking needed. We cannot easily complete simple functions. You pay for a single person to schedule training time with you. I have experienced this training on a number of times, very limited information and then if you ask questions she seems upset that you interrupt her script and then the time runs out before completing the training, then you pay more money. They do not provide any videos to help training on basic functions and processes. We still cannot use this system fully due to the setup requirements that they suggest do not work.

### "ArchiOffice Saves me hundreds of hours"

October 17, 2016

5.0

Before we purchased ArchiOffice, we were doing all of your billing through Quickbooks. It was as tedious and time consuming process, filled with errors.

Pros

ArchiOffice allows me to pull together my invoices and produce them in a timely manner with a very professional look.

Cons

The online version of ArchiOffice does not sync with the desktop version of Quickbooks (the last time I checked).

September 4, 2014

4.5

Pros

The product is intuitive and seamless. As a beginner, I can hop on and figure out how to use its various components rather easily. The layout of the various pages are clean and simple, and interfacing with the other users within the organization through the platform is really efficient.

Cons

There were instances when the system needed to be upgraded, and I experienced a few technical glitches (e.g., not being able to input content into a certain field), but these issues were easily resolved once the upgrade was put into place.

BillQuick has made it really easy for us to review invoices and time/expense. Using the the filters to see only the information we need is simple and it saves us a lot of time. We also love all the standard reports that come with BillQuick. Everyone in the accounting department has certain preferences when it comes to reports, and they've all been able to customize the reports the way they want. Then they can Memorize them to individual folders, so they can easily always view reports that way. The Change Tool is such an easy way to make changes in a group of time or expense entries. I would never be able to convince anyone here to go back to how we used to do things.

November 18, 2016

3.0

Have been using it for a couple of years.

Pros

It is functional and does mostly what we need it to do (time keeping, invoicing, project tracking)

Cons

It is not very intuitive. It seems like you have to be a computer programmer to figure out the ins and outs of its functions. Also, the "Help" does not include enough keywords to be more user friendly

This is the software application to time my accounting time and records all the information that I need my client to be aware of for our next meeting. I really love the ease and the functionality of the application. I am able to send time estimates.

Pros

The information is presented in a very professional manner and it can be integrated into Quickbooks if necessary. Also, if you have extra expenses they can be

Cons

if the internet is down or you are not in an area that you can easy access the web feature, the information can be easily be lost.

This software has been an ongoing disaster for our firm. It is buggy, requires constant support from BQE, and simply does not integrate with QuickBooks as advertised. We BQE an additional fee to have them migrate our project financial history and data, but the support they offered was completely inadequate - and at times it seemed as if they didn't know what they were doing. Had we not invested in the software and made a significant investment in time to roll it out, I would consider requesting a refund and looking for other alternatives. I certainly would not recommend the software to any other firms with more than 10 employees and more than 5 years of history.

November 14, 2016

My rep is responsive and decisive. A fantastic combination. You can tell is very experienced, yet deals with non-techie folks like myself very patiently and professionally.

Pros

Accuracy with invoicing. Accountability on time slips keeps staff focused.

Cons

Needs scheduling features. Needs workload tools. Reports are somewhat limited. I still have to do a lot manually

### "Consulting Engineering Firm"

July 24, 2014

4.5

Pros

The software is user-friendly, and the integration of Microsoft Outlook to BillQuick has made employees' time input more timely. The tech support department has been most helpful whenever we are stumped with an issue. The personal one-on-one training was the best investment. We now operate the program more efficiently. Trust me; spend the money to do the one-on-one training. You won't regret it!

Cons

Attaching expenses to invoices before emailing can be tricky. Also, if an invoice is generated incorrectly, many steps have to be taken to reverse the process and ensure accurate billing. On the flip side, any time we have issues, we call customer support, and in 9 out of 10 cases, they can resolve the issue.

October 31, 2016

5.0

Safex has been a long term customer because we want an affordable fairly robust means of establishing budgets and tracking time and expenses for projects.

Pros

It has a lot of capability and the on line version and new app are beneficial for our traveling staff.

Cons

There are so many reports; sometimes it's difficult to identify which is the most beneficial to use.

I had to upgrade our 2007 version to the 2016 version of the software. The upgrade went without a hitch and Support Engineer my rep was right there to walk me through the steps as well as make sure that my data file converted smoothly. What a huge help!

Pros

I like how the software categorizes all your projects and keeps track of hours worked on each project as well as accounting.
