Professional services
Scope, rates, and terms in one document
Professional services proposals combine detailed Statements of Work (SOW), rate card pricing, deliverable timelines, and legal terms. TackQuote delivers unified proposal software that ensures scope clarity and rapid contract sign-off.
Why general-purpose quote tools fail in professional services
Consulting firms, agencies, and engineering practices struggle with fragmented proposal workflows where scope narratives live in Word documents, pricing lives in Excel, and signatures require a separate e-signature app.
TackQuote consolidates the entire services sales workflow. Reps build comprehensive proposals using pre-approved SOW templates, standard rate cards, and customizable scope sections. Clients review, comment, and sign online without document switching.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about quoting for professional services
Can we include full rich-text Statement of Work (SOW) sections in proposals?
Yes. TackQuote features rich-text content blocks for scope narratives, project deliverables, assumptions, and legal terms alongside your line-item rate cards.
How are scope change orders handled after a project starts?
You can create a versioned quote revision linked to the original proposal. The client reviews the amended scope and signs the updated revision online.
Is the e-signature legally binding?
Yes. TackQuote e-signatures capture signer IP address, timestamp, email authentication, and document hash into an audit certificate attached to the final PDF.
