Many projects may be suspended, while others may actually ramp up. With no easy way to determine when or how circumstances will change, one of the most effective ways for new firms to stay solvent through a crisis is by increasing efficiency in their day-to-day operations. Even as businesses begin to reopen after lockdown, uncertainty remains at an all-time high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time-consuming tasks such as billing, time tracking and business analysis become infinitely more important during tumultuous periods, which makes this a good time to start using business management tools <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bqe.com\/products\/core\/solutions\/architects-engineers-project-management-software\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">made specifically for architecture firms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Make Connectivity Easy<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps one of the most disruptive aspects of the current crisis occurred when businesses were forced to mobilize their entire staff to work from home in a matter of days. In cases like this, where desktop connectivity may suddenly become limited or impossible, cloud-based <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bqe.com\/products\/core\/overview\/mobile\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mobile apps<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can pick up the slack by providing detailed access to databases of project management, time tracking and business analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">3. Speed Up Project Billing<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a slow economy, billing clients as quickly as possible is critical to a firm\u2019s survival but can only happen as fast as your staff records the time they spend on a particular project. Using cloud-based <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bqe.com\/products\/core\/overview\/time-expense-tracking-software\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time and expense tracking<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, with auto-fill features carrying over from week to week and always-on remote access, can be a boon to both employees and managers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">4. Make It Easy to Get Paid<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Income is essential for staying afloat in a downturn, so the last thing you want your clients to face is a difficult process for paying your invoices. Use a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bqe.com\/products\/core\/overview\/time-billing-software\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">billing system<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that\u2019s intuitive and easy to understand, and make sure it includes <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bqe.com\/products\/core\/overview\/epayments\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">online payment processing,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allowing your clients to pay you with one click.

The best dashboards are easily modifiable, allowing you to edit or add new ones as the information relevant to your situation changes. Drawing real-time data from numerous inputs, intelligent dashboards let you make informed business decisions quickly, and if they\u2019re cloud-based, you can use them from anywhere. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">7. Keep Your Staff Informed<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In times like these, transparency breeds trust. It\u2019s important to ensure employees have an accurate understanding of firm performance. Customizable <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bqe.com\/products\/core\/overview\/reports-dashboard\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reporting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of business data allows you to generate different sets of metrics for different employees, and can even empower them to generate reports of their own and deliver them to the appropriate recipients thereby boosting your firm\u2019s collaborative brainpower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">8. Mine Your Own Data<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practical applications of artificial intelligence are gaining a foothold in business administration, and are now capable of delivering insights you might not see at first glance. This technology can also take the form of a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bqe.com\/products\/core\/overview\/artificial-intelligence\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">voice-driven interface<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 part virtual assistant, part business coach, able to answer questions about your business and make useful recommendations as it learns the workings of your firm over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>9. Focus on Your Employees<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even in today\u2019s era of lockdowns and closed offices, human resource management involves a lot of work. There is the endless administration of personal information, legal compliance, and PTO and salary tracking, to name just a few. Using a powerful, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bqe.com\/products\/core\/overview\/human-resources\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cloud-based HR tool<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can automate many of those clerical functions, allowing HR staff more time to focus on what they do best \u2014 being a reliable resource for your employees during a crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-61594 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/BQE_CORE_AE_LinkedIn-Sponsored_NO_LOGO-1200-x-627.png?resize=1200%2C627&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/BQE_CORE_AE_LinkedIn-Sponsored_NO_LOGO-1200-x-627.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/BQE_CORE_AE_LinkedIn-Sponsored_NO_LOGO-1200-x-627.png?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/BQE_CORE_AE_LinkedIn-Sponsored_NO_LOGO-1200-x-627.png?resize=1024%2C535&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/BQE_CORE_AE_LinkedIn-Sponsored_NO_LOGO-1200-x-627.png?resize=768%2C401&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/BQE_CORE_AE_LinkedIn-Sponsored_NO_LOGO-1200-x-627.png?resize=400%2C209&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">10. Create New Efficiencies<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding new digital tools to your firm\u2019s workflow often means adding a layer of complexity to existing systems, but you can avoid this roadblock if you use tools <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bqe.com\/products\/core\/overview\/integrations\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">designed to be integrated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with a variety of project management, accounting and information storage programs already popular with architects. Integrating your business management platform with programs like ArchiSnapper, Quickbooks and Dropbox removes the need to duplicate data entry, breaking down silos and creating new, streamlined workflows between existing systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In times like these, it\u2019s important to stay focused on what\u2019s critical for your firm. With business unusually erratic across the AEC industry, it\u2019s important to work as efficiently as possible not just to get through these difficult times, but also to set your firm up for success when good times inevitably return.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Hero image: <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/gad-park-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GAD PARK 19<\/a> by <a
