Brand and send a sales proposal

Make a branded, watermarked proposal that's small enough to email and locked after it goes out.

The problem

  • Proposals go out as heavy files that are slow to email and awkward to open on mobile.
  • Draft proposals can be edited or forwarded with terms changed before they are finalised.
  • Inconsistent branding across reps makes outbound proposals look unpolished.

The workflow

One licensed pipeline chains these steps end to end. Each step is a tool you can try free on the public site.

  1. 1

    Generate the proposal

    Business Proposal Generator

    Build a structured proposal with scope, pricing, and commercial terms from your template.

  2. 2

    Brand and mark it

    Add watermark

    Apply a draft or confidential watermark while the proposal is still under negotiation.

  3. 3

    Reduce the file size

    Compress PDF

    Compress the document so it sends and opens quickly for the prospect.

  4. 4

    Restrict the sent copy

    Protect PDF

    Apply permission limits so the proposal cannot be freely edited after dispatch.

Every tool in this workflow is free on the public site — no signup, nothing uploaded. Run the steps by hand to see the output, then license the automated pipeline for your team.

Why run it on-premise?

Draft pricing and scope are prepared inside your own systems, so unreleased commercial terms are not handled by an external service. On-premise processing keeps negotiation-stage material under your control until you choose to share it.

The Business suite ships as a self-hosted bundle that runs inside your own network, so the documents in this workflow never leave the building. See how deployment works.

Outcome

A branded, lightweight, access-controlled proposal ready to send with negotiation terms kept in check.
