Reduce the need for branch staff to manually extract and re-key lengthy material schedules.

Faster Quotations

Give your branch team quantified material information ready to turn into a customer quotation.

Material Opportunities

Identify requirements across the whole building project, not simply the customer’s immediate enquiry.

What is an API?

API stands for Application Programming Interface.

Put simply, an API is a secure digital connection that allows two computer systems to communicate and exchange information automatically.

No re-keying. No duplication. The two systems work together.

Live merchant pricing

Your Prices. Inside the Estimate.

Connect your merchant pricing directly to the materials within the customer’s estimate.

Our estimating system can display live merchant pricing against individual material items, giving customers and branch teams a direct connection between the quantified estimate and the merchant supplying the materials.

And through API integration, customer-specific pricing and agreed account terms can also be applied.

Customer-specific pricing through APIs

Their Account. Their Terms. Their Prices.

We can even deliver customer-specific pricing through APIs, with your customers’ terms already applied.

Where supported by the merchant trading system, the estimate can use the customer’s own account pricing rather than a generic API price.
