Everything you need to quote with confidence
Slatewise is opinionated about one thing: you should always know your margin. Here's how every part of it works toward that.
A budget engine that shows the whole picture
- Above-the-line creative fees and below-the-line costs, separated clearly
- Owned gear billed at day / 3-day / week rates straight from your catalogue
- Rented gear with an optional handling fee that stays internal
- Crew with day vs. night rates and overtime handling
- Every line shows cost, client price and margin side by side
Profit visibility, not profit guesswork
- A live dashboard: internal cost, client quote, profit € and markup %
- A profit slider that recalculates the whole quote instantly
- An optional production fee modelled separately from markup
- Margin broken down by category so you see where the money is
