One vendor quotes in dollars, another in euros. You apply a discount, then a margin, then a customs factor, then a man-day rate for the engineers, then convert it all back to the currency the client pays in. Miss a step and you either lose the deal or lose the margin.
CostFeed holds the whole calculation so the number you send is the number you meant.
How it works
Name your discount tiers and margin bands once per quote, add an exchange rate for each source currency, and a default customs factor. Every line picks from them by name.
A section per vendor, a row per item: quantity, list cost, discount, margin. Then your professional services by role and man-day. Selling prices appear as you type.
Per-vendor subtotals, a services subtotal, the grand total selling, and the blended margin across the whole bid. Export to Excel or CSV when it's ready to send.
Selling price is cost divided by one minus the margin, not a markup on top. The number is the margin you actually keep.
Enter each vendor in its own currency. CostFeed converts to your selling currency and shows both, so nothing is added together by mistake.
Discount comes off the list cost before margin. A customs factor lands the hardware cost. Both are on every line, with sensible defaults.
Price the people too. Role, number of resources, man-days, rate, travel and living, and its own margin, in the same bid as the hardware.
Discount tiers, margin bands, and exchange rates live with the quote. Set them once and every line reads from them.
A clean .xlsx or .csv laid out section by section, so it reads like the cost sheet your finance team already expects.
On your numbers
Every figure is computed the same way, every time, and recalculated the instant you change an input. No hidden rounding, no stale totals, no divide-by-zero surprises.
Add your vendors, set the margins, and watch the selling total come together. The first bid takes about two minutes.
