The Challenge: Moving Beyond Static Spreadsheets
Before adopting Apropo.io, Selleo's quoting process relied on traditional methods that limited dynamic collaboration with the client during the critical pre-sales stage.
Time-consuming and complex estimation and quoting processes.
A lack of interactivity in the proposals sent to potential clients.
Too much time spent on administrative formatting rather than high-value business analysis.
The Solution: Interactivity as a Competitive Advantage
Selleo implemented Apropo.io to standardize their quoting process and introduce interactive, web-based proposals. The primary objective was to allow clients to "play with the quote," fostering a clearer understanding of both the project scope and the associated costs.
Deploying interactive web proposals instead of static PDF files.
Automating repeatable estimation components to ensure consistency.
Utilizing transparent cost breakdowns to build immediate trust.
Freeing up analyst time to focus on deep exploration of client business objectives.
By transforming their approach, Selleo moved away from sending "dry" numbers and began providing an interactive buying experience that engages the client from minute one.
