Proposal Management

From customer requirement to professional proposal — in one workflow.

Bring customer information, reusable products and services, pricing, terms, documents, sending, and follow-ups together instead of moving between Excel, Word, PDFs, email, and WhatsApp.

The manual proposal process

A proposal should not become a formatting project.

When product information, pricing, proposal content, documents, and communication live in different places, preparing a proposal becomes a chain of repetitive manual work.

01 Excel

Calculate quantities, prices, discounts, and taxes.

02 Word

Copy the previous proposal and replace customer information.

03 Fix formatting

Repair tables, spacing, pagination, specifications, and terms.

04 PDF

Export again after every revision.

05 Email / WhatsApp

Find the customer conversation and send the latest file.

Customer requests a change

Go back through the chain and repeat it.

Start from an old proposalCopy customer details, products, descriptions, and commercial content.
Check the spreadsheetMake sure quantities, prices, discounts, and taxes are still correct.
Fix the documentAdjust tables, pagination, formatting, specifications, and terms.
Export and sendGenerate another PDF, send it, then remember to follow up.

One connected workflow

One path from customer requirement to proposal — and beyond.

Prastav connects the information needed to prepare the proposal with the work that happens after it is sent.

Build with what you already know

Stop rebuilding the same proposal information.

Products, services, specifications, templates, pricing, terms, documents, and customer information should be reusable inputs — not content copied manually into every new proposal.

Review & control

Know what price, content, and terms are going to the customer.

A professional proposal is not only about layout. Before sending, your team needs to know that the customer, quantities, specifications, pricing, taxes, discounts, terms, and supporting information are correct.

Send & follow through

The workflow should not end when the PDF is generated.

Generate the customer-ready proposal, share it through the channel that fits the conversation, and keep the status and next action connected afterward.
