From estimate to project without losing the thread
The handoff between sales and delivery is where margin quietly leaks. A shared workspace closes the gap.

The client says yes. The estimator moves to the next deal. Two weeks later the project manager is re-reading proposal PDFs, trying to reconstruct what was actually promised. Sound familiar?
Why the handoff hurts
Every rebuild of context costs money. Scope questions get re-asked, assumptions get reinvented, and change orders slip through unpriced.
A single spine from lead to delivery
- Estimates convert directly into project milestones.
- Line items become tasks with owners and dates.
- The proposal stays linked as the source of truth on scope.
- Change orders live on the same customer record.
What good looks like
A month in, anyone on the team can open a project and see the original quote, the current plan and every conversation that shaped it. That is what stops margin leak.
