"Even just the basic use of it is really amazing. It's a game changer for any firm that's coming from nothing or that's looking to streamline project management with the billing. The fact that CORE combines both of those components is amazing. And it has been incredible for us in terms of making sure that billing is happening on time. It works beautifully!” 
Rikki C
Director of Marketing and Operations, Rise Architecture

Running an architecture firm is harder than ever

Leading a firm means balancing creative vision with business realities like rising costs, shrinking margins, and the constant pressure to do more with less. Without the right insights and optimized processes, even the most brilliant ideas can get lost in the day-to-day grind.
