The Benefits of Combining Software and Services Estimates on a Single Order
Many enterprises struggle with the complexity of handling software and service estimates separately. This often results in inconsistent pricing, misalignment between sales and delivery teams, and poor customer experience. By using Certinia Services Estimator to integrate both software and service estimates, businesses can unlock several key benefits:
- Improved Accuracy and Consistency
When software and services are estimated independently, it’s easy for discrepancies to occur. Certinia Services Estimator eliminates these gaps by ensuring all components are calculated in a single, cohesive process. This reduces errors, improves pricing accuracy, and ensures that customers receive a well-structured proposal that aligns with their needs.
- Streamlined Sales and Quoting Process
Manually reconciling separate software and service estimates can slow down the sales cycle. With Certinia, teams can generate unified estimates faster, reducing delays and enabling sales representatives to close deals more efficiently. The automation of service estimation also helps free up resources that would otherwise be spent on manual calculations.

- Enhanced Customer Experience
Customers appreciate transparency and efficiency. When software and services are quoted together, clients receive a single, comprehensive estimate that provides a clear picture of their total investment. This eliminates the need for multiple revisions and back-and-forth discussions, leading to a smoother sales process and higher customer satisfaction.
- Better Financial Planning and Forecasting
By combining software and service estimates into one streamlined process, finance teams gain greater visibility into revenue streams. They can more accurately forecast project costs, track profitability, and ensure that resources are allocated efficiently across projects.
