The Challenge
Each proposal was built from scratch by senior team members pulling figures from multiple sources, applying country-specific pricing logic manually, converting currencies by hand, and assembling the final document in PowerPoint or Word. A single proposal took 2–4 hours and the output quality varied depending on who produced it.
With multiple entities, multiple countries, and dozens of sub-products — each with its own pricing logic, parameter sets, and calculation rules — there was no way to standardise output. Errors in currency conversion or pricing parameters went undetected until client review.
Leadership wanted consistent, branded proposals that could be generated quickly by any authorised team member — not just senior staff — without sacrificing accuracy or customisation.
The Solution
We built a custom web application backed by a structured master database containing all products, sub-products, pricing parameters, calculation rules, and country/entity configurations. This single source of truth ensures every proposal starts from the same verified baseline.
The engine is exposed via a clean API layer, allowing it to be connected to other internal tools and platforms. Team members enter client details and select the required products — the engine handles all calculation logic automatically, including sub-product level parameters, multi-country selection, and FX rate conversion pulled from a live exchange rate feed.
The output is a fully formatted proposal document in the company's branded template — consistent every time, regardless of who generated it. Completed proposals are automatically uploaded to the designated SharePoint folder and logged with metadata for pipeline tracking.
Role-based access control restricts who can generate, review, approve, and send proposals. Full audit logs record every proposal generated, every revision made, and every parameter selected. The system is built to ISO-aligned security standards with application firewall, data encryption, and GDPR-compliant data handling throughout.

“What used to tie up a senior team member for half a day now takes fifteen minutes and can be done by anyone on the team. The consistency and accuracy improvement alone made this a no-brainer investment.”
