Trusted by software houses moving beyond Excel-based quoting

PageproCodiblyEuvicTalliumEfigenceXfive

Software estimation breaks when it lives in spreadsheets.

Manual quoting templates create bottlenecks and financial risks for engineering teams.

Slow Quote Turnaround

Developers spend valuable billable hours manually sizing requirements instead of building products.

No Single Source of Truth

Sales managers, engineering leaders, and project managers work on separate file versions and mismatching scope lists.

Formula & Margin Errors

One broken cell reference or typo in a spreadsheet can cost your software house tens of thousands in delivery margin.

Weak Client Experience

Static PDFs or sheets do not help prospective clients understand scope logic, optional modules, or cost drivers.

No Delivery Feedback Loop

Pre-sales teams continue quoting new proposals without comparing assumptions against historical timelog data.

Estimate, Win & Control
