Machinery & Equipment
As competition squeezes margins, understanding the cost drivers and providing an accurate, reliable and risk-adjusted price is critical to ensuring profitable delivery of engineer-to-order based proposals and projects. Twenty5 enables complex equipment manufacturers to creatively blend existing offerings with one-off rough-cut project plans and proposal bills of material into a single project plan, cost, price and quotation.
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.
Model Complex Bid Structures
Manage proposal structures such as the WBS, deliverables, billing plans, resource categories, cost elements and schedules, together with tags, BOMs and optional sets, to better model complex engineer to order outcomes.
Manufacturing & Procurement
Estimate large BOMs from SAP, PLM or Excel and adjust using similar-to relationships and machine learning from prior ERP history such as supplier purchase orders or shop labor confirmations - to derive confidence, 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 (CER) to let our AI calculate effort and cost for repetitive or parameter-based tasks, anchoring estimates in past performance.
Effective Sourcing Decisions
Integrate cost estimates for purchased materials and services with supplier quotations from SAP Ariba or Coupa, or using our tool to track supplier quotes. Manage TINA/TCPD thresholds and select proposal materials for sourcing event generation based on top % of cost, supplier, commodity, total supplier spend etc.
Flexible Pricing
Support all contract types such as fixed price, target-margin, subscription/lease, or outcome based pricing using configurable questionnaire inputs, with our customizable pricing engine and SAP ERP integration for price conditions.
Pitch-Ready Reporting
Provide management and customer reports (cost/price tables, phases, timeline, assumptions etc.) based on a single source of the truth, and slice and dice your proposal using our powerful price/cost analysis pivot and AI co-pilot. Understand risk-adjusted cost and margins.
Deliver Against What You 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.
