Managed services
Recurring contracts, quoted once
Managed Service Providers (MSPs) sell recurring monthly agreements combined with upfront project hardware. Tracking per-seat count adjustments and contract renewal dates requires automated quoting infrastructure that bridges subscriptions and one-off sales.
Why general-purpose quote tools fail in managed services
MSPs lose significant annual contract value (ACV) when service agreements lapse without structured renewal proposals. When account managers manually track contract expiry in spreadsheets, client renewals get delayed or forgotten.
TackQuote automates MSP quoting with per-seat tiered pricing rules, recurring contract schedules, and automated renewal quote generation. Reps quote recurring service agreements alongside upfront onboarding and hardware, syncing all deal stages directly with your CRM.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about quoting for managed services
How does TackQuote automate MSP contract renewals?
You can set recurring renewal schedules (e.g. 12-month contract cycle). TackQuote automatically generates a draft renewal proposal X days before expiration and alerts the account manager.
Can we combine recurring monthly services and one-time setup fees on the same quote?
Yes. TackQuote clearly separates One-Time Costs (hardware, setup, onboarding) from Monthly Recurring Costs (per-seat monitoring, cloud backup) in both the portal and PDF.
Does TackQuote sync quote metrics with our CRM?
Yes. Two-way CRM synchronization ensures deal amounts, quote status, and contract PDFs are logged automatically in HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or Zoho CRM.
