Features of CPQ

Reflects The Modern Award

All The Modern Award data is held in CPQ which means the labour price calculated
for your roster will be accurate and complete.

Helps avoid common human errors

CPQ holds and applies dates and penalty rates for all public holidays in all states
and alerts you when your roster labour hours exceed Award conditions.

Generates structured labour and pricing breakdowns

CPQ generates detailed labour and cost breakdowns that make it easier to complete complex cleaning tender pricing forms. Users can define the required breakdown structure, while CPQ automatically produces supporting data – including labour hours, wage costs, statutory on-costs and service totals – available for export to Excel or CSV, helping estimators efficiently extract and transfer data into client pricing schedules.

Supports compliant cleaning contract pricing

CPQ applies the rules of the Australian Cleaning Services Award to your roster and pricing, helping ensure your tender submissions align with wage rates, penalties, allowances and working conditions. This reduces the risk of under-pricing, non-compliance and contract delivery issues – critical when pricing commercial cleaning contracts in Australia.

Includes customisation of rates for salaried staff

CPQ’s annual wage rate table gets you started with current market rates for senior supervisors, managers and maintenance staff that you can adjust for your proposal.

Provides a snapshot view of your tender

The Executive Summary table, complete with graphs and charts, provides the high level data view your General Manager needs to see to approve your tender submission.

Creates customised data views

CPQ shows the key elements of your tender price-like labor costs, statutory on-costs, and administration and profit. It also allows you to display pricing breakdowns by location, function, task or even combination, to improve the visibility and transparency of your pricing.

Creates custom labour graphs

CPQ generates colour-coded labour deployment graphs so you can see daily coverage by service, who is working where and when, and identify any service gaps.

Forecasts prices up to ten years

CPQ’s Fixed Price Calculator makes it easy to forecast your price, year by year, for up to 10 years.

Caters for sundry expenses

CPQ holds data to help you estimate costs for items like uniforms, communications and entertainment, equipment repairs, fuel and energy, chemicals and supplies, outsourced services and rent of spaces.

Built for real-world cleaning tender pricing

CPQ generates structured labour and cost breakdowns to help you complete complex client pricing schedules accurately and with confidence.
