Quote & Proposal Generator

An AI-native proposal and CPQ (Configure-Price-Quote) platform combining intelligent document generation with e-signature, payment collection, and buyer engagement analytics—bridging the gap between simple proposal tools and complex enterprise CPQ implementations.

Problem Statement

Proposal generation tools fall into two categories:

Proposal-focused (PandaDoc, Proposify, Qwilr) offer great templates and design but limited CPQ depth and AI that's mostly template-filling
Enterprise CPQ (Salesforce CPQ, Conga) handle complex pricing but require 3–9 month implementations and significant admin expertise
No solution combines generative AI drafting (not just filling templates) with mid-market CPQ capabilities
AI drafting is shallow: existing tools use template substitution ("$VAR_name, your company $VAR_company...") rather than LLM generation

Key Differentiators

Generative AI Proposal Drafting

LLM-generated proposals from deal context, meeting notes, and CRM history—not template variable substitution
Intelligent personalization: each prospect receives genuinely unique copy reflecting their specific challenges and use cases
Follow-up drafting from meeting transcripts and deal context reduces rep writing time by 50%+

Mid-Market CPQ Without Overhead

Simplified product configuration for complex pricing structures without Salesforce CPQ's implementation burden
Discount approval workflows embedded in proposal workflows
Subscription billing and multi-year contract modeling
Discount optimization suggestions based on historical win/loss patterns

Buyer Engagement Analytics

Time-spent analytics per proposal section reveal where prospects stall or lose interest
Interactive proposal elements (dynamic pricing tables, client-side option selection) increase engagement
Payment collection embedded in proposal workflow for frictionless close

Native CRM Integration

Bi-directional sync with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive—proposal status feeds back to opportunity record
Zero context-switching: generate proposals from CRM opportunity context

Market Context

Market size: Proposal software and CPQ combined segment estimated at $8–10B in 2026
