Software updates, new features, and company milestones from Sigma Sourcing.
An FF&E budget "holds" when the final numbers match the plan. Here is how to build one that survives a real project: structure it to the line item, plan for the unknowns with allowances, budget the full landed cost, and keep it live as quantities change.
Sigma's entire library of user guides has been reviewed and rewritten to match the system as it works today, from the comprehensive Purchaser User Guide to role-based guides for Clients, Designers, Freight Forwarders, and Vendors. Pair that with a Help search bar that takes you straight to the answer, plus responsive support, and getting unstuck has never been easier.
Not every improvement is a headline feature. This release sharpened performance, smoothed out the PDF Importer, and put serious work into automated testing, so the system stays fast and dependable as it grows.

Read moreSigma's approval process just got cleaner: if you reopen a PO that is in an approval process and then discard your changes, no PO revision is created and the approval simply resumes, so your records stay tidy.
Read moreSigma's Bid Analysis now surfaces sole-sourced vendors automatically, highlights live purchase-order pricing, and reveals full quote detail on hover, so purchasing teams can compare vendors and commit with confidence.
Read moreWhen you mark up your items in Sigma, you can now generate a client-ready sales proposal in a click. The Sales Quotation Report turns your marked-up budget into a clean quote you can send straight to your client.
Read moreSigma's notifications are more flexible: select several recipients to send one email to the group, add a personalized message to the note your vendors receive, and cc yourself whenever you send an RFQ or PO notification.
Read moreAllowances can now be typed as Goods or Services, so they roll into the correct section and totals of your Budget and Cash Flow reports. Freight and warehousing sit with Services, an overage sits with Goods, and every total reflects reality.
Read moreSigma's new labeling feature lets you tag nearly anything in the system, from specs and budget items to RFQs, POs, and PVs, with color-coded labels you can search and filter, so you can slice a project exactly the way your team thinks about it.
Read moreNot every update is a big feature. This round includes three handy refinements: always-collapsed PO and RFQ details, faster spec install and summary reports, and an easier way to apply a payment percentage across a PV.
Read moreA new export option on the PO and PV search pages lets you download all of your results at once, as either a Zip file or a single combined PDF, so pulling a full set of reports takes one click instead of many.
Read moreCopy Project brings as much or as little as you want from an existing job, from a single spec set to a fully priced project, so you can turn a proven project into a reusable template and launch the next one in minutes.
Read moreSigma's standardized reports run deep, but the Custom Report Builder lets you assemble your own from the data in the system. This update gives it a cleaner interface and clearer descriptions of every data property, so you always know exactly what you're pulling into a report.
Read moreSigma has always tracked the data behind your Purchase Order revisions. Now it shows that work on screen, so you can see exactly which data is change-tracked and what's pending before the next revision PO goes out.
Read moreSigma now shows thumbnail images of your specifications throughout the system, so you can recognize an item instantly instead of clicking through to find it.
Read moreThis release put performance first: budget reports now load in a fraction of the time, double-clicks no longer cause hold-ups, and new messaging tells you when Sigma is working, so waiting is never a mystery.
Read moreSigma adds two reports to its inventory: a Vendor Balance Closeout Report for balances owing across your POs, and a COM Report that brings RFQs, POs, quantities, and variances for linked specs into one view.
Read moreThis release focused on making what you already use better: a Google-style search in Help, a more capable mobile app, and a smoother way to upload and merge spec revisions.
Read moreSigma's new progressive web app brings the whole system to your phone or tablet, so you can check statuses, pull reports, and approve POs from a job site or anywhere else, no spec book required.
Read moreBid Analysis gains new options for comparing vendors: it now reflects a selected vendor's material requirements in the related COM order quantity, and lets you choose exactly how each vendor's pricing and quantities are shown.
Read moreSigma's quoting tools open up new workflows: send RFQs as soon as specs are entered, shape each RFQ around how you solicit bids, and compare vendor pricing with a quick hover, no budgeting step required first.
Read moreThe new Room Matrix takes the tedium out of budgeting large FF&E and OS&E projects, letting you create thousands of accurate line items across hundreds of specs and multiple room types, with totals that recalculate as you go.
Read moreBudgeting Customers Own Materials just got easier: assign COM and units-per-parent on the spec form, and Sigma automatically calculates and updates COM quantities as parent quantities change.
Read moreThe Custom Report Builder now delivers Sigma's popular Excel-based reporting on your terms: build a report by dragging in the fields you want, then download it as an Excel workbook, PDF, or a data format ready to drop into your own systems.
Read moreSigma's Vendor Invoice Submission gets a round of refinements: stronger invoice-number validation to catch duplicates, more detail captured on each Payment Voucher, and reporting that helps you project cash-flow needs more accurately.
