Project Estimation

Compare both generations

Project estimation

Less estimating. More deciding

troi ai·on takes the manual work out of an offer, so the time goes into the decision.

The troi dashboard: a summary from finance, ten absence requests, the week's hours on three client projects, and four open offers, two of them waiting on a client

Every quote starts from what you already delivered

Describe the project in a sentence. troi ai·on drafts the lines from your price list and proposes the hours from comparable finished projects, so every estimate starts from what the work really took. The margin updates as you type, and nothing is applied until you keep it. Proposals from past projects are part of the Intelligence plan.

Write or dictate what the project is. troi drafts the service lines from your price list, and nothing is applied until you keep it.

troi proposes the hours for each line from comparable finished projects, so the estimate starts from what the work really took. You keep or change every proposal. Part of the Intelligence plan.

Cost and sales price sit on every line, and the margin updates as you type. A team lead approves the quote, and it leaves as a PDF in your own layout.

In the product

Less manual work, more time to decide

Build the quote from the price list

troi ai·on takes the manual work out of an offer, so the time goes into the decision. Service items sit beside the quote: drag one in, and the line carries its unit, rate and tax, while troi adds up the lines and shows the margin.

Approvals before it leaves

A team lead approves the quote before it goes out. Until then it stays a draft, and nothing reaches the client by accident.

An example

From one sentence to a drafted quote

  1. Describe the project. Type or say it in one sentence, the way you would brief a colleague. troi ai·on takes it from there.
  2. troi drafts the services. troi matches your sentence to the services in your price list: key visual variants, art direction and retouching by a third party, each with its unit and rate.
  3. With hours from finished projects. troi estimates 31 hours for key visual variants and 12 for art direction, from how the same work ran on earlier campaigns: €7,675 in total. Part of the Intelligence plan.
  4. You decide. Keep, change or dismiss each line. A team lead approves the quote, and it goes out as a PDF in your layout.

Price a project from what you know, not from memory

troi ai·on proposes lines and hours from the projects you finished and prices them from your list. You keep, correct or dismiss each line. Cost and sales price sit on every line, so the margin updates as you type, and a team lead approves the quote before it goes out. Proposals from finished projects are part of the Intelligence plan.

How it works

Know the margin before the quote goes out

Hours come from the projects you finished, prices from your own list, and the margin is visible before anything is sent. A team lead approves the quote before it goes out. Later, the same lines measure the project: recorded hours run against them, and reporting and controlling shows the gap while the phase is running.

Draft the quote, see the margin

Describe the project by text or voice. troi drafts the lines from your price list, each with cost and sales price, so you see what every line earns before you keep it.

troi proposes the hours

troi proposes hours for each line from comparable finished projects, part of the Intelligence plan. The margin updates as you change hours or rates, and a team lead approves the quote before it goes out.

And the estimate measures the project

Once the quote is accepted, recorded hours run against the same lines, and reporting and controlling shows the gap while the phase is running. Project structures are part of the Performance plan.

FAQs

What is project cost estimation software?

Software that calculates the hours and costs of a project before it is quoted, and keeps that calculation connected to what the project later actually costs. In troi ai·on, comparing the estimate against recorded time requires project structures, which are part of the Performance plan.

Does the estimate stay connected to the project?

Yes, once your plan includes project structures. When a quote is accepted, the calculation becomes the project and recorded time is compared against the estimated effort line by line. Project structures are part of the Performance plan.

How does troi use finished projects in a new quote?

troi looks at how the same service item or comparable work ran on finished projects and proposes the hours for the new line. You see the proposal and decide whether to keep it. In troi ai·on this is part of the Intelligence plan, in troi five it is the Smart Calculation module.

What is the difference between troi five and troi ai·on in project estimation?

In troi five the calculation is built from the price list, and the Smart Calculation module can propose hours from finished projects. In troi ai·on the project is described by text or voice, the calculation is drafted for review, and the Intelligence plan adds hours proposed from comparable finished projects.
