Proposal management for technology services

Generate proposals and SOWs from the commercial model behind the deal.

A good proposal needs more than good content. For technology services, the scope, effort, pricing, assumptions, schedule and resourcing behind it all need to stack up too.

What sits behind the proposal

Estii manages the commercial model before turning it into a proposal or SOW.

Sales and solutions shape the deal while delivery, finance and leadership review the same commercial model, so the document reflects what the business has estimated, priced and approved.

Proposal tools

Manage content, templates, design and collaboration, so documents are consistent and quick to produce.

Estii

Manages the deal behind the document: scope, effort, pricing, margin, schedule and approvals, then generates the priced proposal and SOW from it.

Using both

Keep your proposal tool for narrative, design and content. Bring the approved scope, pricing, timeline and SOW from Estii into it, or present directly from Estii.

Show the commercial story clearly

Turn scope, pricing, timelines and milestones into clear commercial breakdowns, so clients and internal reviewers see the same view of what is being proposed.

Generate the proposal and SOW from the deal

No estimate-to-proposal round trip. When scope, price or schedule changes, the proposal and Statement of Work change with it.

Every price in the proposal has a source

Each figure traces back to the scope, effort and rates behind it, so reviewers can check how a number was reached before the customer asks.

Approve the deal before the document goes out

Review margin, dates, resourcing and rate card before approval, and keep every version on record. The proposal is generated from the approved version.

Is Estii the right fit?

A good fit when

  • Proposals carry pricing, timelines and resourcing, not just narrative
  • Price depends on scope and effort that evolves during the deal
  • Several teams review the commercial position before the proposal goes out
  • What you propose becomes what delivery has to deliver

A proposal tool may be enough when

  • Proposals are mostly narrative, case studies and standard content
  • Pricing comes straight from a fixed price or rate list
  • There is little estimation or delivery modelling behind the proposal
