A price history that keeps your margin accurate

Over time you build a price history per supplier. When a material cost goes up, Prummo reflects it in future quotes automatically. Your margins never go stale.

Frequently asked questions

For anything else, message us on WhatsApp.

How do I add material costs to a quote?

On each line of the quote, you can set a material cost price separately from the sale price. Prummo calculates the margin automatically based on the difference.

Can I build a reusable list of material prices?

Yes. With quote templates, you can save items with the cost price already set. When you add a template, the cost is pre-filled and the margin is calculated instantly.

Does Prummo update material prices automatically?

Prummo doesn't connect to outside suppliers to update prices. The material prices you enter are stored as a reference for future quotes, and it's up to you to update them when your buying cost changes.

Does the quote separate materials from labour?

Yes. You can create separate lines for materials and for labour. Prummo shows the subtotal for each type along with the quote's overall margin, giving you a clear view of your real profit.
