From rollout to real adoption
Gain the insights, recommendations, and support needed to navigate challenges, prioritize next steps, and move forward with confidence.
The opportunity
Turn pricing processes into rapid approvals
Services operations and finance spend hours reviewing detailed pricing workbooks for every deal, but turning those numbers into a timely approval can be challenging. Most still rely on manual spreadsheet checks, institutional knowledge of approval rules, and back-and-forth email.
The Deal Approval Agent reads your organization's pricing tools, cross-checks against official legal documents like Statements of Work (SOWs) and your approval finance rules, and returns a clear green or red verdict where your teams already work. It helps finance and accounting teams protect margin, catch errors early, and approve deals with speed and confidence.
The challenge
The challenge with pricing reviews
Many reviewers have the data they need, but not an efficient way to validate it.
Common challenges include:
- Time-consuming manual reviews of multi-tab pricing workbooks
- Inconsistent application of margin floors and approval thresholds
- Late discovery of mismatches between SOW totals and pricing tool revenue
- Limited audit trail showing how and why a deal was approved
Teams need more than spreadsheets. They need fast, consistent reviews to guide approval decisions.

How it works
Automated pricing reviews
Attach an approved Pricing Tool and receive a green or red verdict with supporting reasoning. See revenue, cost, gross margin, and the approval tier applied to each submission.
Financial reconciliation
Compare total estimated charges on client contracts against actual pricing and revenue to flag mismatches proactively.
Cost center and financial verification
Confirm each deal signed maps to a registered price and margin, so profits match expectations.
