Overview

QuoteForge gives enterprise sales teams a single surface for configure-price-quote. Reps assemble a deal from the product catalog, see the margin update live as they build it, and get AI guidance on how far they can discount before breaking policy. Out-of-band quotes route to the right approver automatically, and a branded proposal generates the moment the deal clears. BuildspaceLabs designed and built the MVP front end — a Quotes dashboard for the deal desk and a single-quote detail view with line items, a margin breakdown, an AI discount-guidance card and a live approval chain — turning a pricing engine and a set of guardrails into a workflow a rep can move through in minutes.

  • Gives every rep an AI recommended-max discount benchmarked on comparable deals
  • Enforces discount ceilings and margin floors so no deal slips below the line
  • Takes a deal from catalog configuration to a signed proposal in one flow
