CORE Pursuit Boosts A&E Firms Winning and Growth

TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- BQE Software, a leading provider of project management and business development solutions for architecture and engineering (A&E) firms, has announced the launch of CORE Pursuit, a new business development and opportunity management capability built directly into its BQE CORE platform. This move aims to help A&E firms win more work and build more profitable businesses by streamlining the complex process of managing client relationships and opportunities.

The CORE Pursuit platform brings together critical business development activities, including client relationship management, opportunity tracking, proposal development, and project delivery, into a single, cohesive system. This integration allows A&E firms to manage their business development activities seamlessly, from the initial contact with a client to the final invoice, providing a comprehensive view of their work and financial performance.

Prior to the launch of CORE Pursuit, A&E firms often struggled with fragmented and disorganized processes. Opportunities were scattered across various spreadsheets and inboxes, making it difficult to keep track of leads and opportunities. Proposals required significant time and effort to create, often involving repetitive work. Moreover, firm leaders frequently found it challenging to forecast revenue and predict which projects were coming next, leading to inefficiencies and missed opportunities.

CORE Pursuit addresses these challenges by centralizing all client relationships, opportunities, and proposals in a visual pipeline, with clear stages and next steps that keep business development moving forward. This unified approach not only streamlines the process but also enhances collaboration among different departments within the firm. For instance, the platform allows sales teams to seamlessly connect with project managers and accountants, ensuring a cohesive and efficient workflow.

One of the key features of CORE Pursuit is its ability to create customizable proposals using information already available in BQE CORE, such as project budgets, fee structures, employee qualifications, and past project experience. This not only saves time and reduces the risk of errors but also ensures that proposals are tailored to the specific needs of each client, increasing the likelihood of winning the project.

The platform also provides advanced forecasting capabilities, enabling firms to track anticipated fees, opportunity probabilities, and expected project timelines. This information is crucial for making informed decisions about revenue, staffing, and capacity, allowing A&E firms to better plan and allocate their resources. For example, firms can use this data to identify which projects align with their expertise and growth goals, ensuring that they focus on opportunities that offer the best potential for success.

Another significant benefit of CORE Pursuit is its ability to connect business development activities directly to project delivery. Once an opportunity is won, it can be seamlessly transferred to the BQE CORE project management system, carrying relevant budgets, scope details, and project information forward without duplicating work. This integration ensures that all aspects of a project are managed in a cohesive and efficient manner, from the initial proposal to the final invoice.

CORE Pursuit also helps A&E firms maintain strong client relationships by providing a connected record of all client interactions and project history. This information can be used to identify repeat business opportunities and nurture long-term relationships beyond the completion of a project. For instance, firms can use this data to develop targeted marketing strategies and build stronger, more lasting relationships with existing clients.

BQE CORE, the platform that CORE Pursuit is built into, is a comprehensive project management, time tracking, billing, and accounting platform purpose-built for A&E firms. It provides real-time visibility into projects, people, and financial performance, helping thousands of A&E professionals worldwide run more profitable and efficient practices.

In conclusion, the launch of CORE Pursuit represents a significant step forward for BQE Software and A&E firms. By streamlining business development activities and connecting them directly to project delivery, CORE Pursuit offers a powerful tool for firms looking to win more work and build more profitable businesses. This innovative platform is poised to revolutionize the way A&E firms manage their business development and project management processes, ultimately leading to greater success and growth.
