Another common challenge that spreadsheets won’t help with is getting pricing right in the first place. We’ve researched agency pricing based on a vast quantity of anonymised data and found that on average, agencies undercharge by about 12-23%. That comes down to a few factors; lack of knowledge on what things should cost, lack of knowledge on how much time is actually required, and again – inconsistent standards for pricing across the agency. How many times have you scoped a job only to find that plan very quickly goes awry once work begins? Unlike an Excel spreadsheet, SCOPE can tell you what a job should cost and how much time should be planned by which disciplines for each deliverable. When you’ve got a clever, data-driven library of deliverables and their component parts, you stop omitting important tasks that should be included in the original scope of work. Instead of policing timesheets to reduce profit leaks, the correct profit is baked into the work in the first place.
