Our customisable software solutions let you create detailed and accurate sales proposals, reducing the admin burden on your sales team and improving transparency throughout your sales process.
What is proposal software?
Most businesses depend on compelling proposals to win new clients, generate revenue, and expand their markets. Proposal software helps businesses manage the full proposal writing, bid management, and sales process from one application, while also automating many of the manual and repetitive tasks involved with the process.
Salespeople can collaborate with colleagues in the marketing, financial, production, and customer service departments to issue personalised proposals from wherever they are based, with integrated workflows that provide up-to-date information to all stakeholders from any Internet-enabled device.
Follow-ups, amendments, and customer communications are all logged within the system and updated in real time, avoiding duplications, delays, and human error.
Integrated quotation and proposal management
Although they are commonly used interchangeably, quotes and proposals are different terms.
A quote is a cost-centred document that provides a general breakdown of equipment, materials, and labour cost estimates associated with a project or service. It typically features a limited number of variables, characterised by facts with little room for interpretation.
A proposal is more client-centred and provides a detailed project outline in response to a customer’s requirements. An ideal proposal should contain:
- A scope of work that describes the project
- A list of milestones, dates and how to achieve them
- Similar information contained in the quote
- Client objectives, benefits, and results
- Company credentials and proof of performance
Quintadena are UK supply partners for two of the world’s leading quotation and proposal software platforms: QuoteWerks and ITQuoter.
Our tailored software solutions allow businesses to manage the entire quotation and proposal process within the same interface, leading to significant efficiency and productivity benefits within their sales strategy.
