What is proposal software?

Build, send, track, and close — without PDFs.

Proposal software helps B2B sales teams build, send, and track sales proposals as interactive documents instead of static PDFs.

Definition

proposal software

Proposal software is a SaaS tool for building and sending B2B sales proposals as interactive web pages (not PDFs), with pricing tables, ROI calculators, embedded video, e-signature, and analytics. Modern tools include accept-and-sign-and-pay in one flow.

What it is

The core elements.

Drag-drop builder with reusable blocks (hero, ROI, pricing, team, accept).
Variables and CRM sync (auto-fill {{customer.name}}, {{deal.acv}}, etc.).
Conditional content — show CA-specific clauses when jurisdiction matches.
Pricing tables that recalculate live in the recipient's browser.
Section-level analytics + accept-and-sign block.

Why it matters

What changes when you use it.

Higher accept rates vs PDF proposals (typically +30-60%).
Faster build — reusable templates, CRM-auto-filled variables.
Real-time pricing — recipient toggles add-ons, totals update live.
One workspace covers proposal + signature + checkout.

How it works

In a typical workflow.

Pick a template (or start blank) for your service category.
Edit hero, scope, pricing, and team sections.
Add an accept-and-sign block at the bottom.
Send a link — recipient opens on web or mobile.
Watch per-section analytics; ping account exec on second visit.

Common questions

About proposal software

What's the difference vs interactive proposals?

Interactive proposals are the output; proposal software is the tool that creates them. The terms are increasingly synonymous since most proposal software now outputs interactive web pages.

Do I still need DocuSign if I have proposal software?

Modern proposal tools ship with built-in e-signature (eIDAS/ESIGN/UETA compliant) — no separate signature vendor needed for most workflows.
