Two ways to use FoundationStone.
FoundationStone can save you time by cutting down the spreadsheets, repeated entry and manual checking that goes into costing and pricing. At the same time, it helps you keep your prices based on current costs, so you have a better chance of making the margin and profit you expect.
Start with the Cost Book if you mainly need a better way to understand your costs, check that your current pricing is profitable, and quickly and easily adjust as supplier, labour and overhead costs change.
Choose FoundationStone Complete if you want to manage costing, pricing, quoting and delivery in one place, then track what actually happens against what you expected. It gives you clear reports showing what made money, where margins changed and what needs attention, so you can spend less time chasing numbers and make better decisions as the business changes.
