BQE SOFTWARE LAUNCHES CORE PURSUIT TO HELP ARCHITECTURE AND ENGINEERING FIRMS WIN MORE WORK


The new CRM platform connects client relationships, opportunity tracking, proposals, and project delivery in BQE CORE, giving firms a better way to manage business development from first contact to final invoice.

TORRANCE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, BQE Software announced the launch of CORE Pursuit, a new business development and opportunity management capability built directly into BQE CORE, designed to help architecture and engineering firms win more work and build more profitable businesses.

Manage your pipeline, proposals, and the cost of chasing work in the same system that runs your projects.

Architecture and engineering firms apply extraordinary discipline to managing client projects, yet the process of winning those projects is often far less organized. Opportunities are scattered across spreadsheets and inboxes, proposals require hours of repetitive work, and firm leaders struggle to forecast revenue and predict which projects are coming next.

CORE Pursuit brings these activities together, giving firms a single place to manage client relationships, track opportunities, develop proposals, and plan future work. Unlike standalone CRM systems, Pursuit connects business development directly to the project and financial information already in BQE CORE, helping firms make better decisions about which opportunities to pursue and how to deliver them profitably.

With CORE Pursuit, firms will:

  • Never lose sight of the next opportunity. Centralize prospects, client contacts, and opportunities in a visual pipeline, with clear stages and next steps that keep business development moving forwrd.
  • Build better proposals, faster. Create customizable, Word-based proposals using information already in CORE, including project budgets, fee structures, employee qualifications, and past project experience.
  • Forecast future work with greater confidence. Track anticipated fees, opportunity probabilities, and expected project timelines to make more informed decisions about revenue, staffing, and capacity.
  • Focus on work worth winning. Track pursuit costs, analyze win rates, and compare opportunities across clients, markets, and service areas to prioritize projects that align with the firm's expertise and growth goals.
  • Connect winning pursuits to project delivery. Turn successful opportunities into CORE projects, carrying relevant budgets, scope details, and project information forward without duplicating work.
  • Build stronger, longer-lasting client relationships. Maintain a connected record of client interactions and project history, helping firms identify repeat business opportunities and nurture relationships beyond project completion.

"Pursuit is the final piece of the puzzle in our vision for BQE CORE as a truly end-to-end business management platform for architecture and engineering firms," said Austin Miller, Chief Marketing Officer at BQE Software. "We've helped firms manage their projects, people, and finances for years. Now we're connecting that entire process to where every project begins: the client relationship. From the first conversation and proposal to project delivery and post-project follow-up, firms should now have the confidence to pursue the work they want and grow their businesses on their own terms."

CORE Pursuit represents the next evolution of BQE's existing CRM functionality.


With Pursuit, BQE CORE brings business development into the same connected environment as project management, resource planning, time tracking, billing, and accounting, helping firms manage the full lifecycle of their work.
