Getting Ready for a Quote: Essential Steps

What to Expect When You Contact Pegotec

So, you have an idea for a digital solution. Perhaps it’s a new app, a platform, or a way to enhance your team’s workflow. You’re ready to take the next step and contact Pegotec. But then the question pops up: What do I need to prepare before reaching out? Getting ready for a quote involves gathering all necessary information about your project.

Good news—this part is easier than most people think. You don’t need to have everything figured out when preparing to request a quote. You don’t need technical knowledge or perfect documentation. What matters most is your vision. That’s where we begin.

At Pegotec, we believe great software starts with good conversations. We work with founders, project leads, managers, and teams from many industries. Some bring complete project plans. Others get an idea written on a napkin. Both are welcome.

You Don’t Need to Be Technical

Let’s clear this up right away. You don’t need to understand code, servers, or systems. If you know what problem you want to solve, we’ll guide you through the rest. We ask clear, simple questions and explain everything in everyday language. Being non-technical is not a barrier to preparing a quote.

During our first meeting, we focus on understanding your goals. We’ll ask what you want to build and why. We’ll discuss who will use it and what you envision it should do. If you have notes, slides, or rough sketches, feel free to share them—but if you don’t, that’s also fine. We’ve worked with a wide range of starting points.

What We Usually Talk About

Our first call or email exchange is never a technical matter. It’s a conversation to learn more about your idea. We might ask what the software should help users do, or what kind of results you expect. Sometimes, clients have a specific launch date in mind or a budget they want to stay within. These things help us suggest the best path forward to prepare for obtaining a quote.

We may also discuss what you already have, perhaps an existing system, a landing page, or just a list of ideas. If there’s something you’d like us to review, we’re happy to look at it. The more context we have, the more accurate and helpful our proposal will be.

No Need for Perfect Documentation

Many clients worry they’re not “ready” to talk because they don’t have a formal brief or technical spec. But the truth is, you don’t need that to start the process.

If you have a clear idea of your goals, that’s all you need. A few notes about what you want to build, who it’s for, and why it matters already give us a strong foundation. If needed, we’ll help you shape those ideas into a proper structure through a discovery phase as you get ready for a quote.

Why We Ask About Budget and Timeline

Discussing the budget early helps us recommend the most suitable solutions. We understand that every project is different, and not all budgets are the same. By being open about your range, you help us propose a realistic plan that meets your expectations.

The same goes for timing. If your project has a deadline, it’s good for us to know from the start. Some clients want to go live in a few months, while others prefer to build in phases over time. We’re flexible, and we’ll adjust the process to match your pace as you get ready to receive a quote.

We Make the Process Easy

At Pegotec, our goal is to make the process simple, straightforward, and even enjoyable. We believe that software development should never feel overwhelming when ready for a quote. That’s why we take the time to understand your needs and walk you through each step.

You’ll never get a confusing quote full of buzzwords. Instead, we’ll provide you with a clear summary of what we propose, including the estimated duration and associated costs. You’ll always know what comes next.

And if you’re still shaping your idea? We can also help with that. Through workshops or prototyping sessions, we help many clients turn ideas into structured, build-ready concepts. This often includes wireframes, user journeys, and technical planning.

Pegotec Is Easy to Talk To

Many of our clients say the same thing after the first meeting: “That was easier than I thought.”

That’s the experience we aim for. We’re here to build long-term partnerships, not just software. Whether you’re a startup with a bold idea or an established organization seeking to modernize, you’ll find that we’re approachable, responsive, and genuinely committed to your success.

We work across regions and industries, which gives us a broad perspective. But no matter where you’re from or what you do, you’ll find that we always start the same way—with a conversation that puts your goals at the center.

Ready When You Are? Getting Ready for a Quote?

Reaching out to a development team doesn’t have to feel like a big leap. If you’re thinking about building something new, improving what you already have, or just exploring what’s possible, we’re here to help you take the first step.

You don’t need all the answers when getting ready for a quote. You need your idea and a few minutes to talk. We’ll take it from there.
