Designed for quote and proposal clarity.
Explore the features shaping the Archestimator workflow. We keep your structure, component database, revisions, and outputs connected in one workspace.
Estimate Workspace
Create and manage structured estimates, quote options, and proposal data in an early workspace for teams that price and document sales work.
The Problem We Replace
Replaces scattered browser tabs, hidden formulas, and blank spreadsheet setup lag.
Workflow Elements
- Protected workspace routes requiring user login.
- Interactive grid designed for direct entry of quantities and rates.
- Side-by-side node and tab navigation for quick lookups.
Project-Shaped Hierarchy
Organize the quote or estimate with flexible groups that follow the commercial breakdown of the offer.
The Problem We Replace
Replaces flat list items that are hard to audit or explain to buyers.
Workflow Elements
- Flexible nesting: group by package, location, product family, phase, or scope.
- Line items belong to the specific quote section they support.
- Roll-up totals match the structure of the offer.
Scope-Targeted Cost Rows
Build itemized pricing directly within the designated sections of the quote structure.
The Problem We Replace
Replaces disconnected rows where you don't know which rate belongs to which scope.
Workflow Elements
- Edit quantities and Misc Cost allowances.
- Auto-calculating running totals that update instantly across the tree.
- Track row-level base cost and miscellaneous allowances without extra columns.
Component Library Workflow
Use an early catalog flow to insert reusable products, assemblies, services, and rates into your estimate tabs.
The Problem We Replace
Replaces copying and pasting rows between older estimate files, bringing along obsolete rates.
Workflow Elements
- Insert pre-configured cost items instantly.
- Adjust component quantities and rates dynamically in context without altering the library source.
- Context tracking: keep supplier details, tags, and pricing sources beside your cost rows.
Revision Intelligence
Track version indicators as the quote matures to pinpoint exactly how and why prices changed.
The Problem We Replace
Replaces filename suffix madness and blind buyer updates.
Workflow Elements
- Version-labeled estimates with unique tracking codes.
- Planned revision history timeline indicating who changed what and when.
- Future snapshot comparison tool to trace price changes before presenting proposals.
Proposal Comparisons
Build multiple estimates inside one workspace to compare different options.
The Problem We Replace
Replaces duplicating entire folders and manually cross-referencing alternate bids.
Workflow Elements
- Support for alternate quote structures (e.g. Option A vs Option B).
- Future comparison dashboard to inspect alternate specifications side-by-side.
- Clear highlights of total, material, and labor deltas.
Excel & PDF Handoff
Prepare structured quote and proposal data for planned spreadsheet and document handoff workflows.
The Problem We Replace
Replaces hours spent clean-formatting raw spreadsheets and rebuilding PDFs for clients.
Workflow Elements
- Planned Excel (.xlsx) export preserving project hierarchy and formulas.
- Planned document package generation with custom header and cost summaries.
- Clean column mappings ready for team, buyer, or client review.
