Will it invent a price?

No. Product Brain answers only from your documents, names the source, and holds anything it isn't sure it read correctly for review. If a number isn't in your files, it says so instead of guessing.

PDF plan sets and photos, up to three per quote. Large plan sets can take a couple of minutes to read.

Does it replace my takeoff software?

It drafts the takeoff so you start from a list rather than a blank page. You correct it, and the quote is yours.

Does it write into our ERP?

No, by design. ERP Connect is a read-only copy of your accounts and order history, so Scout can answer questions like "what did this customer buy last quarter?" It never writes to your ERP. Going out, you can send leads to Salesforce, use the API and webhooks, or take a weekly report.

With BuildMapper

What the job looks like for estimators.

9:00 AMThe plans arrive

Drop the whole plan set on the Takeoffs tab. Every sheet is read in the background and the materials come back priced from your own price list. You check them beside the drawings instead of building the list.

9:40 AMThe price question

"Cost and list on 2x10 SPF #2, 16 foot." Product Brain answers from the July price list, with the margin. Anything it isn't sure it read correctly is held for review, never guessed.

11:00 AMThe quote goes out

Branded, sent from BuildMapper, accepted online. It lands on the lead, so the rep and the manager see Quoted and the value without asking you.

Two weeks laterWon

The rep texts "won it". The quote becomes a job with the margin tracked, and the contract and invoice start from the same line items.

That's your seat. See the whole week, end to end

Takeoffs that read the whole plan set

Drop the full set, split into as many files as you like. Each quantity shows the sheet it came from, you fix what's off beside the drawings, and one button puts it on a quote, or exports a materials list or purchase order first. Then the quote is sent and accepted online.

Product Brain #2

Pricing from your own documents only

Product Brain answers cost, list and margin from the price lists and spec sheets you load, names the file and its date, and holds anything uncertain for review. It never quotes a price that isn't in your documents.
