Project Cost Management Software for Smarter Costing, Quotations & Profitability
PCMS is a project cost management software solution that brings project costing, quotations, approvals, taxes, financing costs, cash flow and profitability into one centralized platform. Replace disconnected spreadsheets and manual calculations with configurable costing formulas, structured approval workflows and real-time commercial visibility—from initial estimation to final quotation and project profitability.
Still Managing Project Costing and Quotations in Spreadsheets?
Project-based businesses often manage costing, supplier quotations, taxes, financing, approvals and profitability across multiple spreadsheets, emails and disconnected systems. As projects become more complex, maintaining accurate costs, controlling margins and tracking approvals becomes increasingly difficult.
Disconnected Costing
Project costs are scattered across spreadsheets, emails and departments, making it difficult to maintain one accurate commercial picture.
Manual Quotations
Repeated calculations and manually prepared quotations consume valuable time while increasing the risk of pricing and calculation errors.
Approval Bottlenecks
Approvals handled through emails, calls and messages make it difficult to track responsibilities, decisions and approval history.
Limited Profitability Visibility
Without centralized commercial data, management can struggle to see changing costs, margins and expected project profitability at the right time.
There’s a better way to manage the entire project commercial lifecycle.

Dynamic Project Costing That Adapts to Your Business
Every organization calculates project cost differently. PCMS allows commercial teams to define cost entities, formulas and calculation sequences around their own business rules instead of depending on rigid, hard-coded calculations.
When commercial rules change, authorized users can maintain the required configuration instead of redesigning the entire costing process.
From Base Cost to Selling Price
A commercial calculation can be built as a sequence of configurable entities. The example below illustrates how costs and commercial rules can progressively contribute to the final selling price.
Turn Approved Project Costs Into Controlled Customer Quotations
PCMS connects quotation preparation directly with the underlying project costing structure. Commercial teams can prepare customer quotations while retaining visibility of project cost, selling value, expected margin and the approvals behind every commercial decision.
Quotation values remain linked with the commercial calculation and project cost structure used to prepare the offer.
