Why ProPricer

Aggregate thoroughly documented resource estimates in a centralized location, and quickly apply proprietary pricing logic to unlimited project scenarios for comparison. Produce accurate pricing with justification your customers can easily understand.

• Synchronize your supporting rates, travel, and material data automatically. Input cost and pricing data from cost estimating systems, your ERP database, project management software, and other back-end systems. You can even allow remote cost estimates and BOE entry with the Estimator companion product.
• Store, re-use, and compare cost data, pricing logic, formulas, and qualitative information from historical proposals.
• Standardize your proposal pricing environment and workflows using a central database with controlled access, default proposal and report information, and well-defined user roles.
• Generate proposal cost and pricing reports that comply with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), DFARS, Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), and customer requirements to generate a TINA-compliant proposal. All reports are customizable, making it easy to submit documentation that accommodates virtually any new formatting or data mandates imposed by the U.S. Government or prime contractors.
• Quickly run and compare complex what-if scenarios, and let ProPricer keep track of your changes. Switch resource categories, increase or decrease estimates by percentages, shift the period of performance, or hit a targeted price, all according to your proposal pricing logic.
• Create custom views of your proposals to analyze any level of detail.
• Export summary or full pricing data as traceable spreadsheets, then use them to price your report data outside of ProPricer. Share data with your project management, ERP, EVM, and other back-end systems for advanced pricing evaluation and auditing in ProPricer.

Acquisition teams use ProPricer Government Edition to eliminate the need to reverse-engineer contractor proposal pricing. Instead, import proposal cost and pricing data from offerors, including a functional and transparent pricing model you can use for your own analysis and estimating in ProPricer.

Never reverse-engineer an offeror’s pricing model again. Instead, receive and import all proposal pricing data in the standard ProPricer format. Everything you see is calculated by and exported from the contractor’s own internal estimating system, so there are no formulas to validate. Simply review the rates and pricing logic used.

• Audit, analyze, summarize, and report on each proposal’s indirect rates and rate structure, resource cost estimates, Basis of Estimate (BOE) and Statement of Work (SOW), cost estimating relationships (CERs), and more. Organize the information you need to see by contract line item (CLIN), work breakdown structure (WBS) element, or any custom summary field.
• Use an offeror’s built-in pricing logic to estimate the impact of alternate project scenarios.
• Store proposed cost and pricing data for reference in future contract negotiations.
• Develop accurate program objectives with the same advanced costing and pricing platform used by offerors to generate their proposals.

Simplify the estimating process by allowing functional groups to enter their cost estimates in proposals directly.
