Consulting

The world's top consulting firms are now embracing fixed price or outcome/benefits based proposals, rather than T&M bids because more risk means more margin. Twenty5 helps your business make this strategic transition to adopting service or line-of-business based pricing, optimized around value, competitive position, and client or channel attributes.

Estimating Cockpit

Make planning simple and intuitive with our Excel-like resource planning interface, allowing you to plan by task, week or month, based on hours, days, FTE or calculating effort from questionnaire-based sizing inputs and machine learning.

Project Knowledge Base

Mine existing proposal and project data from your SAP ERP, define best practice templates, and set-up new proposals faster, directly from your CRM based on prior knowledge and performance history.

Optimize Billing Rates

Manage cost, price and inter-company rates across all your rate-cards, service offerings and client MSAs in our tool, integrated with SAP S/4 activity type costs and pricing conditions. Optimize billing rates based on historical win/loss ratios, resource seniority/skills/location, service-line and client attributes such as strategic value, size or sector.

Not Just Labor

Seamlessly incorporate fixed price subcontractors, hardware and software into your proposals for productized services and more complete offerings. We support subscription, usage-based, cost-plus and budget (e.g. travel = 15% of onshore labor) costing and pricing scenarios.

Proactively Manage Uncertainty

Manage risks and opportunities which impact both cost and revenue from the proposal phase. As you engage with more fixed price or outcome based bids, understand risk and opportunity adjusted cost, price and margins at different confidence levels using Monte-Carlo.

Manage Global Bids

Support proposals across onshore/offshore teams with our multi-currency, multi-country, multi-entity, multi-calendar and multi-language tool, with collaboration and workflow built-in, all from one central database.

Utilize Many Pricing Strategies

Price using T&M, cost-plus, fixed/incentive or outcome/benefits based strategies. Model pricing inputs and elements such as discounts, technology charges or service taxes, and configure your own pricing strategies by contract line item or deliverable.

Contract & Project Set-Up in SAP

At contract award, seamlessly convert Twenty5's proposal into an SAP contract, billing plan, project, WBS labor/material resource plan, and cost/revenue by fiscal period, for execution and actual cost collection in SAP, retaining your estimated cost and revenue baseline for future comparison.
