Embedded Payroll in CORE:

Group Demo

Thursday, December 11, 2025
12pm ET | 9am PT 

Payroll Without the Busywork 

Running payroll shouldn’t feel like running a project of its own. With CORE Payroll, powered by Gusto, you can process payroll, pay your team, and handle all tax filings without ever leaving the system you already use to manage projects and billing. 

Whether you’re looking to save time, improve accuracy, or reduce compliance headaches, CORE Payroll helps A/E firms focus on what matters most: designing, building, and serving clients. 

We’ll also leave ample time for Q&A, so you can get your specific payroll questions answered live. 

Guest Speakers:  

  • Matt Cooper, BQE's Chief Executive Officer
  • Chris Vernon, VP of Product Management
  • Faisal Syed, Director of Product Management

During this session, you'll learn how integrated payroll can benefit your firm: 

1

Timesheet hours and pay rates flow automatically into payroll (ie: no manual re-entry). 

2

Payroll totals post instantly to CORE’s general ledger, giving you up-to-date financials.

3

Real-time sync with Gusto reduces errors, shortens payroll cycles, and saves hours every pay period. 

4

Job costing data updates instantly, so you see the true cost of every project as it happens. 

INTRODUCING CORE INSIGHTS

Embedded BI for A/E Firms

See how CORE and its embedded business intelligence solution, CORE Insights, turn your firm’s data into answers you can act on.

Tuesday, September 29, 2026

3pm ET | 12pm PT

In this live group demo, discover how CORE Insights brings powerful business intelligence directly into CORE, giving architecture and engineering firms a more flexible, intuitive way to understand their business and project performance. Because Insights is embedded within CORE, firms can analyze the live data already powering their ERP without moving information into a separate BI platform, managing integrations, or relying on disconnected spreadsheets and reports.

We’ll demonstrate how firms can use ready-to-use dashboards to answer important questions about project profitability, cash flow, utilization, and operational performance; drill from high-level metrics into the projects, clients, and people driving the results; and build custom dashboards around the questions and KPIs unique to their business.

Whether you’re already using CORE or exploring BQE for the first time, you’ll see how bringing ERP and business intelligence together in one platform can help your firm spend less time assembling and reconciling reports and more time understanding what’s happening and deciding what to do next.

Speaker:

Gerald Cox, Director of Solution Engineering

Ryan Harris, Product Manager

By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

  • 1
    Understand the value of business intelligence embedded directly within an ERP, and how CORE Insights uses live CORE data without requiring a separate BI system or data sync.
  • 2
    Explore ready-to-use dashboards and KPIs that help answer common questions about project profitability, accounts receivable, cash flow, utilization, time entry compliance, and overall firm performance.
  • 3
    See how CORE Insights connects high-level metrics to the underlying business activity, allowing users to drill into the projects, clients, project managers, and other factors driving results.
  • 4
    Learn how firms can create their own dashboards and views around the questions and KPIs that matter most to their business, without SQL or specialized BI expertise.
  • 5
    See how CORE and CORE Insights create a shared source of business intelligence for leadership, finance, operations, and project teams, with everyone working from the same live data.
  • 6
    Identify opportunities to improve their firm's approach to reporting and decision-making, whether they are evaluating CORE as a new ERP or looking to get more value from an existing CORE environment.

Guest Speakers:

  • Matt Cooper, BQE's Chief Executive Officer
  • Chris Vernon, VP of Product Management
