BQE CORE vs. Keka

BQE CORE is an all-in-one project management, time tracking, billing, CRM, and accounting platform for architecture and engineering firms. Most firms are stuck tracking the wrong metrics, or none at all, while the numbers that actually drive profitability stay buried in spreadsheets and disconnected systems. That gets harder to ignore once a firm has grown past a single office, brought on dedicated finance and operations staff, and started running several projects at once.

Keka is a global HRMS built for mid-market and enterprise organizations. 12500 organisations across 180+ countries run people operations across multiple entities, countries, and workforce types on Keka. To support them, Keka's PeopleOS brings Core HR, payroll, time and attendance, hiring, performance, employee experience, and project and service automation onto one employee-first platform. As a result, every people decision flows directly into pay, compliance, and business outcomes. HR teams run statutory-compliant payroll in US, India, APAC, GCC countries, and more.
