Aerospace & Defense
Twenty5 Twenty5 helps Aerospace & Defense businesses modernize cost estimating, bidding, and pricing with SAP-native, AI-driven intelligence, so you can bid faster, protect margins, and price with confidence. Dive right into your SAP S/4 performance history to determine a project-centric multi-dimensional cost and price for your Government proposal.
Made for Aerospace & Defense.
Powered by Intelligence.
Built for complex, regulated A&D environments
SAP-native pricing & estimating (ECC, S/4HANA, PLM, CRM)
Embedded compliance, auditability, and governance
AI-powered insights without replacing human expertise
Transition from reactive estimating to proactive pricing intelligence
Twenty5's solution connects historical cost data, project actuals, supplier performance, and enterprise systems into a closed-loop pricing and estimating framework, one that learns and improves with every bid and every project. Instead of reinventing the wheel for every proposal, your organization builds a system of record, insight, and governance that scales.
Bid with speed and confidence
Twenty5 replaces manual spreadsheets and disconnected inputs with a single, estimating and pricing platform integrated to your SAP, CRM, PLM and supplier sourcing/RFP portal. Teams can quickly leverage historical cost data, supplier performance, and AI-driven insights to produce accurate bids faster with confidence backed by data, not assumptions.
Align sales and delivery
By connecting estimating, pricing, and project execution data, Twenty5 ensures bids reflect real delivery capabilities. Sales teams commit to pricing grounded in operational reality, reducing downstream surprises, rework, and margin erosion once projects move into execution.
Control margin across complex programs
Twenty5 enables organizations to model multiple pricing scenarios, understand cost drivers, and assess risk before a bid is submitted. This visibility allows leaders to protect margins across long-running, multi-phase programs while balancing competitiveness and profitability.
Achieve audit-ready compliance
Compliance isn’t an afterthought, it’s built into every estimate. Twenty5 maintains a complete audit trail of assumptions, approvals, and pricing logic, supporting DFARS, TINA, FAR, and internal governance requirements while reducing compliance risk and review effort.
Proposal Structures Built for A&D
Manage structures such as the WBS, CLINs, billing, resource categories, cost elements and schedules, together with tags, BOMs and optional sets, to better model predictable outcomes.
Project Knowledge Base
Mine existing proposal and project data from your SAP ERP, define best practice templates, and set-up new proposals faster, based on prior knowledge and performance history.
Manufacturing & Procurement
Estimate large BOMs from SAP, PLM or Excel and adjust using similar-to relationships and machine learning from prior ERP shop floor and purchasing history, for unit, recurring and non-recurring costs.
Engineering & Services
In addition to discrete or level of effort estimating, use Twenty5's formulas and cost estimating relationships (CERs) to calculate effort and cost for repetitive or parameter-based tasks, anchoring estimates in past performance.
Pitch-Ready Reporting
Provide management and customer reports based on a single source of the truth. Slice and dice your data using our powerful price/cost analysis pivot and AI co-pilot. Understand risk-adjusted cost and margins.
Flexible Pricing
Support all A&D contract types such as cost-plus, fixed price, subscription/lease, or outcome based pricing models, with our customizable pricing engine and SAP ERP integration for price conditions.
Ensure Government Compliance
Support your DCMA disclosure and compliance (DFAR 252.215-7002, TINA/TCPD and FAR 15.2) and automatically detect and group material spend above TINA/TCPD threshold and send to SAP Ariba or Coupa for supplier quotation. Provide the complete basis of estimate for cost-plus proposals.
Deliver Against Your Bid
At contract award, seamlessly convert Twenty5's proposal into an SAP contract, revenue plan, project/network and labor/material/other resources, for execution and actual cost collection in SAP, expanding the same WBS structure from your proposal.
