Introduction - welcome to devtimate Academy

Hi, I’m Tommy and I’m building devtimate.

Welcome to devtimate Academy. If you are watching this, you are likely looking for a way to fix or improve your estimation process. Maybe you are struggling with the usual chaos: scattered spreadsheets, underestimated projects, or uncelar client requirements that lead to burned budgets.

My co-founder Paweł and I spent years working with these exact issues, but we didn’t just guess the solution from our experience. We also interviewed over 100 software agencies to deep dive into exactly how teams estimate and where they lose money.

We built devtimate to solve those specific pains. Today, forward-thinking companies across the world are already using our platform to standardize their entire sales and estimation flow moving from chaos to consistency.

What is this Academy?

This is not just a user manual. In this Academy, we will walk through the whole flow of the process: starting from receiving raw documents from clients, all the way to a ready-to-sign proposal.

The lessons follow a logical, natural flow of work. Throughout the course, we will not only show you what features we have, but why they are important combined with practical estimation and sales tips.

The roadmap

Here is what we will cover:

1. Setup: Configuring your workspace for success.
2. Essentials: Understanding the core mechanics.
3. The workbench: The heart of estimation (where the magic happens).
4. Delivery: Turning data into winning proposals.
5. Masterclass: Real case scenarios and advanced strategies to close more deals.

FAQ: Is this academy just a user manual?

No, it is a complete estimation masterclass.

While we cover every feature of the tool, our main focus is on the business logic and strategy that turns estimation from a headache into your competitive advantage. By the end of this course, you will know how to:

• Qualify more leads: Learn how to spot good projects quickly and stop wasting time on clients with no budget.
• Create a consistent standard: Ensure your entire agency estimates the same way, eliminating the chaos of random Excel files.
• End “estimation hell”: Transform a stressful, manual process into a fast, predictable workflow.
• Boost your ROI: Bridge the gap between technical accuracy and sales speed to close more deals, not just create documents.

Next steps

I will keep it short and simple. Let’s start by understanding why you need this change and the winning mindset behind the tool.

See you in the next lesson!
