How It Works

From ERP event to ready workspace, automatically

AE Automate is set up once and then runs quietly in the background, and every new project gets the right folder structure without anyone lifting a finger.

  1. 01

    Connect your ERP

    Link AE Automate to your ERP, starting with BQE CORE, so new projects and phases can be detected automatically.

  2. 02

    Define folder templates

    Build the standard folder structure your firm uses, including subfolders, naming conventions, and variables.

  3. 03

    Configure project rules

    Set rules for which template and destination applies based on office, discipline, project type, or other attributes.

  4. 04

    Install the Windows agent

    Deploy the lightweight local agent inside your network. It connects out to AE Automate over HTTPS, with no inbound firewall changes required.

  5. 05

    Automatically create project folders

    When a new project is created in your ERP, the agent builds the correct folder structure on your file server within moments.

  6. 06

    Monitor results from the dashboard

    Track every folder creation event, review the audit log, and troubleshoot any exceptions from a central dashboard.

Built for IT-approved deployment

The Windows agent only makes outbound HTTPS connections to AE Automate. It never requires inbound firewall ports, remote access into your network, or exposing your file server to the internet, making it straightforward for IT teams to approve and deploy.
