The Build

Tools built around how estimators actually work.

Estimator Insight is the bid-tracking and analytics platform we already use every day — turning the work estimators have already completed into a searchable history, real benchmarks, and clearer decisions on the next bid.

Everything in the app

Not a concept — this is the real feature set of the board, refined for how a team actually bids jobs.

01 / BID PIPELINE

Every bid, tracked start to finish.

A full bid list, not a kanban board — stages run A to Z, columns reorder by drag, and unit columns (SF, LF, tons) toggle on per trade.

  • Stage tracking — Undecided through Accepted, at a glance.
  • Custom columns — Reorder and show only what your team needs.
  • Fast filtering — Estimator, customer, job type, and more.
02 / BID HISTORY & FILES

Nothing gets buried in an inbox again.

Every bid keeps its own quote PDFs, drawings, and addenda, plus the estimating emails tied to it — in order, in one place.

  • Files tab — Quotes, drawings, and spec sheets per bid.
  • Emails tab — The estimating-inbox thread for that job.
  • Bid IDs — Every job numbered chronologically.
03 / ANALYTICS

See the patterns hidden in your own history.

Win-rate trends and job-type breakdowns pulled straight from real bid data — not a guess, not a gut feeling.

  • By job type — Category rollups and top performers.
  • Trend views — Track changes across your bid history.
  • Opportunity signals — Surface what's worth a second look.
04 / SCORECARDS

Know exactly where you stand with every customer.

One row per customer — bids submitted, bids won, hit ratio — with a type-ahead filter to drill into any single relationship.

  • Consolidated view — Every customer, one row each.
  • Hit ratio — Win rate at a glance, by customer.
  • Quick filter — Isolate one customer instantly.
05 / BUDGET CALCULATOR

Price with confidence, backed by your own numbers.

Benchmark $/sq ft, $/lb, and $/ton against comparable jobs you've already bid — filtered by job type, size, and location.

  • Real comparables — Pulled from your own bid history, not a spreadsheet.
  • Smart filters — Job type, building size, and tolerance range.
  • Built-in guidance — A walkthrough for how to use it.
06 / TEAM & PERMISSIONS

Built for a real estimating team, not just one person.

Role-based access for owners, admins, estimators, and standard users — outsourcing partners work in the same board as full team members.

  • Unlimited users — One subscription covers your whole team — estimators, admins, and outsourcing partners alike.
  • Granular permissions — Control who sees and edits what.
  • Deactivate, don't delete — Turn off access when an estimator leaves — their history stays, and reactivating later takes one click.
07 / SMART BID INTAKE

Bid invites, captured the way they actually arrive.

Excel bid calendars, PDF invite emails, plain-text invites, or a quick manual entry — every intake path feeds the same board.

  • Excel imports — Bid-calendar attachments read straight in.
  • Email invites — PDF or plain-text, captured either way.
  • Inbox integration — Auto-extracting job, date, and customer as it lands.
08 / CUSTOMER RECORDS

Every customer, one record, full history.

A dedicated customer tab is next — matched to the same alias system already driving your scorecards.

  • Linked history — Every bid tied to its customer record.
  • Alias matching — The same customer-code system as your scorecards.
  • One source of truth — No more separate contact lists.
09 / SECURE, PASSKEY-READY LOGIN

Built to skip the password, not the security.

Role-based access today, with Face ID and passkey sign-in on the way so the team isn't retyping passwords to get to the board.

  • Deactivation-aware — Turn off access instantly when someone leaves.
  • Passkey / Face ID — Sign in without typing a password.
  • One login — Same account across desktop and the installed app.
