See how FoundationStone works.
From costing and pricing through to actual results.
Know where you stand, and keep up as things change.
FoundationStone gives you a clearer view of the numbers behind your work, whether you mainly need to stay on top of costing and pricing, or manage work from quote through to actual results.
For businesses focused on costing and pricing, FoundationStone helps you understand your costs, check that your pricing is profitable and quickly and easily keep your pricing up to date as costs change.
For businesses managing work from quote through to delivery, FoundationStone also handles quoting, tracks what actually happens, and provides reports and insights so you can see what changed, understand the result and keep improving over time.
Know what the work needs to make before you commit.
Bring labour, materials, contractors, overheads and other costs into one costing. See the break-even point, expected profit and margin at the price you are considering.
- Reuse business costs instead of rebuilding spreadsheets
- See how changes in cost or price affect your margin
- Check the numbers before the price reaches the customer
What you gain: Faster costing, fewer assumptions and a clearer view of the margin you are working toward.
Turn the costing into a quote without starting again.
Use the work you have already priced to prepare a clear customer quote. Scope, customer details, quote lines, terms and totals stay connected to the underlying costing.
- Avoid entering the same information twice
- Keep the customer offer connected to the numbers behind it
- Produce clear, consistent quotes from approved costings
What you gain: Less admin, fewer disconnects and confidence that the quote reflects the work you actually priced.
See whether the result is matching what you expected.
Record time, quantities, progress and actual costs as the work happens. Compare them with the original costing to see where things changed and what that means for the final result.
- Spot cost or labour changes while they still matter
- See where expected margin has been gained or lost
- Use completed work to make the next costing more accurate
What you gain: Better control during the work, clearer actual results and real information you can learn from next time.
Turn actual results into better decisions next time.
Use reports and completed work to compare expected and actual results, understand where costs or margins changed, and see what those results mean across the business.
- See where profit and margin were won or lost
- Identify patterns across completed work
- Use real results to adapt as costs and conditions change
What you gain: A clearer picture of what is really happening in the business, and better information to improve future costing, pricing and decisions.
A practical fit for many kinds of business.
FoundationStone can be used anywhere you need to understand what your work costs, how your pricing performs and whether the result is profitable.
