Profitability

Know your margin before you send

Every proposal carries a live profitability panel — subtotal, total cost, gross and net margin, operating expenses, and net profit. Allowances stay out of the margin math, so the numbers are honest. Set a minimum margin and thin deals need a manager's approval before they go out.

  • Gross and net margin on every proposal
  • Operating expenses factored into net profit
  • Allowances kept out of cost and margin
  • Minimum-margin approval gate for thin deals

Everything the proposal builder does

Template-based builder

Start from a reusable template, choose options section by section, and a complete, priced proposal builds itself as you go.

Real-time pricing

Line items, allowances, discounts, and miscellaneous charges all roll into a project total that updates the instant you change anything.

Profitability built in

See subtotal, cost, gross and net margin, operating expenses, and net profit on every proposal — before you send it.

Margin approval

Set a minimum net margin and any proposal that dips below it needs a manager's sign-off before it can go out.

Allowances & discounts

Add pass-through allowances that stay out of your margin math, and discounts that cleanly reduce the customer's total.

Customer-facing view

Send a clean, branded proposal customers open in a browser — no login — and accept online from their phone.

Contracts & e-signature

Convert a proposal to a contract and collect legally binding signatures — in order, from multiple signers — through SignNow.

Draw schedules & deposits

Attach a deposit and progress-payment schedule tied to build phases, and collect the deposit the moment the contract is signed.

Comparison sheets

Put your proposal next to a competitor's, line by line, to show customers exactly what they're getting for the price.

Full version history

Every edit, PDF, and email is tracked, so you can see exactly what was sent, when, and what changed between versions.

Clone & reuse

Duplicate a winning proposal for the next customer and tweak it, instead of starting from a blank page every time.

Convert to a job

A signed proposal flows straight into a job — customer, scope, pricing, and draw schedule all carried across.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can I build a proposal?

Minutes. Start from a template, work through the sections choosing options, and the builder assembles a fully-priced proposal as you go — no spreadsheets and no manual math.

Will I know my margin before I send it?

Always. Every proposal has a profitability panel showing your subtotal, total cost, gross and net margin, operating expenses, and net profit. You can even set a minimum margin that requires manager approval before a thin deal can go out.

How do allowances and discounts work?

Allowances are pass-through line items — they show on the customer's total but are deliberately kept out of your cost and margin math. Discounts reduce the customer's project total directly. Both update the totals live as you add them.

What does the customer actually receive?

A clean, branded proposal they open in their browser from an emailed link — no account needed — and review on any device. When they're ready, they can accept it online.

Can customers sign electronically?

Yes. Convert the proposal to a contract and send it for legally binding e-signature through the built-in SignNow integration. Route it to multiple signers in order, collect a deposit on signing, and watch the status move from sent to partially signed to signed.

What happens after it's signed?

The signed proposal converts into a job with the customer, scope, pricing, and draw schedule carried across — so nothing is re-keyed and the build starts on the right foot.
