Export a whole dashboard or a single component, to Excel, a PDF, a client deck, wherever it needs to go.
Insights is embedded business intelligence inside BQE CORE. It gives A&E firms direct access to their project, time, expense, and invoicing data, and the tools to shape it into the views their firm actually runs on. Think of it as your firm's analysis hub: one place to ask any question and get the answer, without spreadsheets or a separate BI stack.
You can, but it adds work. A separate BI tool means another license, another setup, and another data connection to keep in sync. Insights gives you the same depth of analysis inside CORE, running on live data, with nothing to connect or maintain. Plus Insights gives you more control. You can export the underlying data itself as a spreadsheet or a raw extract, and send it to anyone that needs it.
Insights is designed for both firm leaders who need a clear picture of overall performance and the administrators and project managers who need detailed, day-to-day reporting. Everyone gets access to the information they need for their role, from a shared, up-to-date dataset that becomes your firm's source of truth.
Insights is an add-on to CORE, not a standalone product. It runs on your live CORE data, so there is nothing to export, nothing to sync, and no second system to maintain.
Spreadsheets and third party tools require you to export data, keep it updated, and rebuild reports every time something changes. Insights runs directly on your live CORE data, so there is nothing to export, nothing to sync, and no second system to maintain. What you see always reflects where your projects and firm stand right now, not a snapshot from the last time someone updated a file.
Insights is also built specifically for A&E firms, so the views and metrics are already relevant to how your firm operates, rather than a generic dashboard you have to configure from scratch to make sense for project based work.
There is no data migration and no separate setup, since Insights runs on the data already in CORE. Once Insights is added to your subscription, our team provisions your firm. From there, you are working with pre-built dashboards immediately, and most people build their first custom view the same day.
No. Your data is already organized and ready to view, in pre-built dashboards. However, the true power is giving you the control to manipulate your data to answer the unique questions your firm wants answered. You can shape it into the report or dashboard you need without copying numbers into a spreadsheet or exporting into a third-party tool. It is fully customizable and is intuitive to use. New dashboards can be built in minutes, with no coding required.
Yes. Insights is built to adapt to how you work, so leaders and administrators can each configure views that match their role, whether that is firm-wide performance or project-level detail. Plus, each view you create can be saved and shared with the right people at your firm.
Insights pulls from real-time data within BQE CORE, so what you see reflects where your projects and firm stand right now, not a snapshot from last week or last month. Because you don't have to copy and paste into a spreadsheet or export to a third-party tool, you are getting the most accurate view of your firm's data at all times.
No. CORE's standard reports and dashboards stay exactly where they are, and they answer the questions most firms share. Insights builds on them, giving you the flexibility to answer the questions unique to your firm and explore your data in as much depth as you need.
Insights is available for one fixed annual price. Unlimited users. No per-seat math, no specialists to hire, and no hidden fees. If someone needs an answer, they get it.
Ask your BQE Account Manager to learn more and see if Insights is the right fit for your firm. Or book a live demo to see how CORE + Insights can replace your existing firm management system.
