For quote-heavy custom manufacturers
Rebuild the quoting workbook your team has outgrown.
Aldervick rebuilds selected Excel-based pricing and quotation systems around your existing business rules, then checks the rebuilt logic against known historical quotes and agreed acceptance tests.
Good-fit triggers
The workbook still works — but nobody is fully comfortable changing it.
Logic has spread everywhere
Pricing rules now live across multiple tabs, helper sheets and manual steps that only one or two people understand.
Errors are expensive
A broken formula, copied range or incorrect manual input can affect customer quotes or margin.
The process has changed
New pricing logic, labour assumptions or quoting steps need a controlled rebuild rather than another patch.
Acceptance method
Rebuild the machinery. Preserve the business rules.
We do not tell you what to charge. Your existing pricing method and approved historical outputs remain the authority.
Regression check
Historical quote reproduction
Scope boundary
A controlled workbook rebuild, not a software transformation programme.
V1 can include
- Existing workbook audit
- Pricing-rule and input mapping
- Safer formulas, validation and controls
- Cleaner quote workflow and outputs
- Historical quote reproduction / regression tests
- Documented assumptions and acceptance checks
V1 excludes
- Pricing or estimating advice
- VBA / macros
- APIs, ERP, CRM or database integrations
- Web apps or live data feeds
- Regulated estimating work
- Open-ended maintenance retainers
Indicative pricing
Project bands tied to system complexity.
Small
Controlled rebuild
Bounded workbook with clear existing logic and limited workflow complexity.
Core
Operational quotation system
The likely centre of the offer: multiple rules, controls, outputs and historical quote regression.
Complex
Larger workbook system
More extensive logic, multiple stages or materially higher QA burden while staying inside the bounded Excel V1.
Is the existing quoting workbook still the right logic but the wrong system?
Send a description of the current process, workbook size and a few examples of where it is failing or becoming difficult to maintain. We assess fit before quoting.
