A rate card simplifies your pricing strategy by listing predefined service prices. In Productive, you can create two types of rate cards:
Default rate cards for your company (My Company > Default Rate Cards)
Client-specific rate cards for tailored pricing (CRM > Companies > Rate Cards)
Using rate cards ensures consistent pricing across deals and budgets, eliminating the need to manually calculate rates or check contracts.
Once a rate card is set up, you can easily select services from a dropdown when adjusting financial details in a deal or budget.
Setting Up a Default Rate Card for Your Company
1) To set up one or more default rate cards, hover over your avatar in the upper-right corner and select "My Company" from the dropdown.
2) From there, open the Default Rate Cards tab and click + Rate Card to create a new one.
3)Enter a name for your rate card.
4) The rate card starts empty—click Add Rate (top right) or Create Rate (center of the screen) to add services.
5) Define the service details:
Billing type (e.g., Time and Materials, Time and Materials with a Fixed Cap, Fixed, Non-Billable)
Service name and description
Quantity, unit (hour, day, piece), price, and currency
Estimate (for fixed/non-billable types), discount, markup, and tracking options
Custom fields (if available)
Click Create Rate to save.
Next time you create a deal or budget, your rates will appear under + New from Rate Card in the deal/budget editor.
Creating a Client-Specific Rate Card
Creating client-specific rate cards allows for tailored pricing for each individual client in Productive.
1) To set them up, navigate to CRM > Companies, and choose the client for whom you wish to set up a rate card.
2) Similar to creating a rate card for your company, select the "+ Rate card" or "Create a rate card" option from the Rate cards tab, and add the services to the new rate card.
When adding services to a deal or budget, selecting + New from Rate Card will display both client-specific and default rate options.
Editing and Managing Rate Cards
To edit or delete rates within a rate card, simply click the service you want to update or select the three-dot menu on the right.
You can also rename, duplicate, archive, and delete whole rate cards by accessing the three-dot menu on the right from the Default rate cards tab.
Updating Rate Cards in Bulk
If you need to update multiple rates at once:
Export the rate card as a CSV.
Modify the rates in a spreadsheet editor.
Re-import the updated file as a new version.
