Preparing accurate quotations is hard, detailed work. Most organizations have many different heavily customized spreadsheets to prepare and analyze costs and quotes. However powerful spreadsheets are, they suffer from some critical drawbacks.

Hierarchical bills-of-material are nearly impossible to fit in the rows and columns format of a spreadsheet. Cost allocation models are built into individual spreadsheets and cannot be easily modified, let alone "What If-ed?". Cost assumptions change over time, and get buried and hidden within old versions lurking around your file system. Training new users to run your magic spreadsheet? Good luck! Reporting? Don’t ask.
