Cost-efficient and effective Cost and Pricing Tools |
Do you recognise this situation ?
Many companies - small and local, but also large companies - find costing and pricing for internal and external purposes (offers and tendering) an obstacle: it can be expensive, time consuming and repetitive. Costs and prices are sometimes difficult to structure.
It is even more difficult to create a user friendly tool or environment in which the time spent is experienced as usefull and not as a waste of time, not a repetitive job. Information must be retrieved in an easy way, and adaptations or extentions of the tool or environment must be made in a controlled, inexpensive ànd fast way.
Time won by using a specialized tool can be spent and invested in the core business of the company.
For other companies costing and pricing for offers can be very time consuming, involving a lot of manual work and expenses due to that. Some structuring and basic cheap softwaretools can prevent this. The time won can be spent in tailoring and focussing on the specific customer, thus increasing the chance of getting the contract with the submitted offers.
Structuring and basic tools increase effectiveness and efficiency. IT-support can go from very sophisticated tools to simple excel sheets.
