Where margin escapes
Every deal is a negotiation. Margin leaks in the gaps.
By the time a discounted quote reaches finance, the margin is already gone. QuoteForge catches it at the moment the rep builds the quote — not in a month-end review.
Rogue discounting
High
Reps discount to hit quota, then finance discovers the deal landed below the margin floor.
Slow approvals
Medium
Approval chains live in email and Slack, so hot deals stall for days waiting on a sign-off.
Inconsistent proposals
Medium
Every rep rebuilds the proposal in a deck, so pricing, terms and branding drift deal to deal.
Margin blind spots
Critical
No one sees the true margin of a quote until it's booked — the single sharpest driver of leakage.
One quote, fully guarded
Every quote decomposes into where the price went — so the discount always comes with a margin your desk can defend.

From catalog to signed proposal, in one flow.
QuoteForge turns a product catalog and a set of pricing rules into a quote a rep can build in minutes and a desk can approve with confidence.
Price & guard
Live pricing shows the margin as it's built. AI guidance recommends how far to discount — and blocks anything that breaks the floor.
Approve & propose
Out-of-band deals route to the right approver instantly, and a branded proposal generates the moment the quote clears.
Inside the product
The pipeline board and the quote file, side by side.
BuildspaceLabs built the MVP front end: a Quotes dashboard for the deal desk and a single-quote detail view where pricing, margin and approvals come together.
Quotes dashboard
See the whole book — and where discounts are drifting.
Open quotes, win rate and approval time sit above a live table, with a discount-vs-guardrail distribution that shows exactly how many deals are running hot.
- Quoted-vs-won value across a rolling 12 months
- Margin-health pills on every open quote
- A discount distribution against the 25% guardrail
Quote detail
The line items, the margin, and what the AI would do.
A full line-item table, a list-to-margin breakdown, an AI discount-guidance card and the live approval chain — everything needed to clear a deal on one screen.
- Line items with per-item discount and extended price
- Margin breakdown with a floor gauge
- AI recommended-max discount and a routed approval chain
What's in the box
Built for the quote-to-close workflow, end to end.
Configuration, pricing guardrails, approvals and proposals consolidated into one enterprise sales surface — nothing left in a spreadsheet or a deck.
Quotes dashboard
Open-quote KPIs, a quoted-vs-won trend and a live table with margin-health pills on every deal.
Catalog configuration
Build deals from products, modules and services with bundles and dependencies enforced.
AI discount guidance
A recommended-max discount per deal, benchmarked on comparable quotes, with the margin impact attached.
Margin guardrails
Discount ceilings and margin floors enforced at quote time — no deal slips below the line unnoticed.
Routed approvals
Out-of-policy quotes route to the right approver automatically, with a full audit trail per deal.
Proposal generation
A branded proposal — cover, line items, terms and e-sign — generated the moment the quote is approved.
Guardrails, not guesswork
A discount your desk can actually defend.
A quote nobody can justify gets escalated, delayed, or quietly written down. QuoteForge shows the margin behind every discount — so the number the rep sends is one finance already trusts.
- Every discount checked against a discount ceiling and a margin floor.
- AI guidance benchmarks each deal against comparable closed-won quotes.
- Real-time margin and discount exposure across the whole open pipeline.
