Is off-the-shelf quoting software good enough?

Often, yes — and when it is, buy it. Standard quoting tools work well when your pricing is simple and your products are uniform. Bespoke earns its keep when quotes need your real margins, supplier prices, discount rules or engineering logic — the point where teams give up on the tool and go back to spreadsheets.

What is CPQ software — and do we need it?

CPQ — configure, price, quote — is the enterprise category for exactly this problem. The platforms are powerful but priced and shaped for large sales teams; if your rules don't fit their configurator, you're paying to fight it. A bespoke system encodes your pricing exactly, costs a known fixed price, and is yours outright.

How much does quoting automation cost?

From £5,000 for quoting automation built around your pricing rules. Automating the full path — enquiry, quote, follow-up, contract and invoice — starts from £10,000. Fixed prices, agreed upfront.

Can it handle estimates as well as quotes?

Yes. Estimating is the same machinery pointed at jobs instead of products: quantities, labour, materials and margins from your own rates. We build bespoke estimating tools where the off-the-shelf ones assume a trade you're not in.

What happens when our prices change?

The system reads from live sources — your price lists, supplier feeds or accounting data — so a price changed once is a price changed everywhere. No more quotes going out on last quarter's numbers.

Bespoke Quoting Software & Proposals

Every step, with a team who's done it before

Standard quoting tools work until your pricing does something they can't — real margins, supplier prices, discount rules — and your team quietly goes back to spreadsheets. Bespoke quoting automation earns its keep exactly there, encoding the pricing logic no configurator will fit.

Capture your rules

We map how you actually price — margins, discounts, supplier costs, the engineering logic behind a number — and where those quotes live today, usually a spreadsheet doing far more than a spreadsheet should.
Weigh bespoke

If a standard CPQ tool would do the job, we'll tell you to buy it. If your rules don't fit one, you get a fixed price from £5,000 — and 21 days to cancel for a full refund.
Build the engine

We build the pricing engine that reads your live price lists, produces branded proposals automatically, and wires into your CRM — so a price changed once is a price changed on every quote that follows.
Quote to contract

From £10,000 we automate the whole path — quote, follow-up, approval on non-standard pricing, e-signing and invoicing. Milestone payments as we deliver, and all code and IP yours on payment.

From enquiry to contract, faster

An energy supplier's quotes now generate from live pricing inside an automated sales cycle — lead capacity up 5x in 3 months. An events business had contracts detected and invoices raised without re-keying. And for NicheCom we prototyped an iPad app that turns a surveyor's site visit into a finished floorplan — the same principle: the document builds itself from the data.

SBU

The tech

The tools under a quote that writes itself — what we've wired quoting systems into, and the platforms we integrate with around them.

Pipedrive

An events business's quotes and contracts flow through Pipedrive because we wired it into the whole deal cycle — the CRM as the single source of truth.
Xero

Won deals raise their invoices in Xero without re-keying — we've shipped that flow, around 500 invoices a month of it.
DocuSign

Gemdarr's signing and witnessing flow runs on DocuSign orchestration we built end to end, so an accepted quote can mean a signed one.
Excel & spreadsheets

Your price lists probably live in spreadsheets — fine; we've shipped systems that write straight back into the client's own Excel.
OpenAI

Proposal drafting runs on OpenAI models we've shipped with — the numbers come from your rules, the prose just gets written faster.
Salesforce

We integrate with Salesforce and the major CRMs, so quotes generate where your sales team already works — CRM integration, not another tab.
Python & Django

Pricing engines with real margin and discount logic are custom code — Python and Django, tested against your historic quotes.
And much more

This is what comes up most often, not a limit. Bring us something that isn't on this list and we'll get up to speed on it — working with something new is the job, not an obstacle.
