How it works
The full quote (PDF), or just one page for the free offer. No preparation needed on your side.
Every line is checked against your real need: quantities, product ranges, licences, labour, maintenance, options.
A written verdict, the contested lines, the possible savings and the arguments to send back to the supplier.
What we find most often
Twelve years writing quotes at an integrator, three years receiving them on the client side. The mechanisms are always the same.
Oversized matrices and processorsA 16x16 matrix for five sources, a DSP designed for an auditorium in an eight-seat room.
Duplicated licences and subscriptionsSoftware licences billed although the conferencing platform already includes them.
Opaque maintenance contractsAn annual fee covering decommissioned equipment, or interventions already included in the manufacturer warranty.
Inflated programming hoursDays billed for a standard program delivered identically to ten other clients.
"Miscellaneous" cabling and accessoriesThe catch-all line nobody checks, often 10 to 15 % of the total with no detail.
Range above the needHigh-end where mid-range does exactly the same job, for an identical use.
Before / after
Illustrative example built from real situations: a twelve-seat meeting room, one integrator's offer.
| Quote line | Verdict | Saving |
|---|---|---|
| 16x16 4K video matrix | Five sources, two displays: an 8x8 is more than enough, or a presentation switcher. | CHF 6'400 |
| Conferencing licences, 3 years | Already included in the company's Microsoft subscription. Line to remove. | CHF 2'700 |
| Programming, 6 days | Standard program, room identical to the two others: 2 days are justified. | CHF 5'200 |
| "Premium" annual maintenance | 3-year manufacturer warranty already included. A basic contract is enough in year one. | CHF 3'100 |
| Ceiling microphones, 4 units | Justified by the room geometry. Line validated. | CHF 0 |
| Saving on this quote, with no loss of functionality | CHF 17'400 | |

from CHF 590
One quote, one supplier: conference room, home cinema, streaming studio or gaming room. The price follows the grid above.
on quotation
Several offers for the same project: we bring them back to a comparable scope, line by line, and tell you which one holds up.
Good news
We tell you so in writing. An offer validated by an independent third party is also an easier decision to defend internally.
First conversation
Pick up to two slots that suit you. Patrick confirms by email, usually the same day.
