An easier way to sell quickly, scope accurately, and drive cash flow is on the way.
Meet BigTime Quotes—a new solution that will transform the way you create proposals and scope work, built directly into BigTime Delivery. With BigTime Quotes, you’ll be able to build accurate proposals in minutes, protect margins, and kick off projects with a clear view of what delivering will actually take. We’re thrilled to see our customers save time, reduce costs, and get one connected workflow from quote to cash.
For years, firms have struggled with quoting. Numbers buried in spreadsheets, scope details copy and pasted across Word docs, and endless version control issues that slow deals down and create costly mistakes. What seems like a simple administrative task ends up wasting hours and leaving sales and delivery teams out of sync.
That’s about to change. BigTime Quotes will soon give your team a faster, more reliable way to sell and deliver projects, fully connected to the platform you already trust to manage delivery.
Quoting should be fast, accurate, and connected to the rest of your business, not a source of frustration or lost profit. Let’s take a closer look at the hidden costs of manual quoting processes and how BigTime Quotes will help your team succeed.
The Problem with Spreadsheets and Word Docs
Spreadsheets and Word docs were never built to run the sales process for a growing services firm. Maybe they worked fine when your firm was still small, but as soon as deal volume increases or projects get more complex, the cracks start to show:
- Slow turnaround: How many times have you had to pause momentum with a prospect while someone copied, pasted, and re-calculated pricing in a spreadsheet? Deals stall, and clients lose interest.
- Inaccuracy: One wrong formula or version mix-up can throw off an entire proposal. Suddenly you’re walking into client calls with numbers you can’t trust.
- Inconsistency: Every rep has their own style for building proposals, which makes forecasting harder and creates headaches for delivery teams who have to make sense of it all.
- Margin risk: Without built-in guardrails, it’s too easy for discounts to slip through or scope to creep—eroding profitability before the project even starts.
These aren’t just minor annoyances. They’re the start of ripple effects that slow down revenue, cut into margins, and frustrate both your team and your clients.
The Case for an Integrated Quoting Solution
Quoting isn’t just about getting a signed deal. It’s the foundation for everything that comes after, from assigning work to billing clients. If the quote is off, project plans fall apart, delivery teams scramble, and clients end up frustrated. That’s why quoting doesn’t belong in spreadsheets or disconnected tools—it belongs in the same system you use to manage projects, resources, and billing.
Think about what happens when quoting and delivery actually live in the same platform:
- Speed: No more waiting days for numbers to get double-checked. You can build and approve quotes in minutes and keep momentum with clients.
- Accuracy: What you promise is exactly what gets delivered, eliminating rework and client frustration.
- Control: Templates, rate cards, and built-in approvals give sales the flexibility they need to pivot in critical conversations without putting margins at risk.
- Visibility: Sales, delivery, and finance all pull from the same data, so everyone is aligned before the project even starts.
With integrated quotes, your team can drive faster sales cycles, healthier margins, smoother client experiences. Those are some of the results you can expect to see from BigTime Quotes.
Introducing BigTime Quotes
