BQE Customer Case Study on SML Consulting

This case study details the operational improvements achieved by SML Consulting Structural & Forensic Engineers through the implementation of BQE CORE. Founded nearly four decades ago, SML faced challenges with fragmented systems that hindered efficiency and increased the risk of errors. The case study outlines how the adoption of CORE unified various functions such as project management, billing, and payroll into a single platform, allowing for real-time data access and automation. This integration led to significant reductions in administrative tasks, enabling engineers to focus on technical work rather than data entry. The study also highlights the benefits of automated billing workflows and real-time dashboards for project managers, which improved financial visibility and decision-making. As a result, SML has been able to maintain project volume with fewer staff while enhancing profitability. The case study concludes with a vision for the future, emphasizing the importance of building a resilient engineering firm capable of sustainable growth.
