BQE CORE vs. Planhat

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.

Planhat is an agentic customer platform, built to give humans and AI agents the full context they need to drive exceptional customer outcomes. Commercial teams at B2B enterprises use Planhat to automate workflows across the entire customer lifecycle, from onboarding and expansion to renewals and scaled customer success, turning better outcomes into revenue growth and enduring profitability. The platform spans three solutions; a category-leading Customer Success Platform (CSP), a comprehensive CRM system, and most recently, an AI-native Professional Services Automation (PSA) offering.
