Pre-bid takeoffs used to be a service to win the order. Now they're a same-day deliverable. The product manager hours that were eaten by spec interpretation become quote throughput.

Where the days disappear

Four bottlenecks every counter knows.

The labor that doesn't show up on the invoice. Pre-bid takeoffs done as a courtesy. Spec interpretation. Substitutions. Re-keying. We replace all four with one pass.

01 Pain

Pre-bid takeoffs done as a service.

Architect drops a spec. The counter promises a takeoff. Two product managers spend a week pulling sets, hinges, and finish codes. The order converts 1 in 5 times. The other four were unbilled labor.

01 Preqonn

Drawings in. BOM out. Hours, not weeks.

Drop the architect's PDF set. Get an opening-by-opening, SKU-level BOM with finish codes, fire ratings, and lead times. Quote five jobs in the time you used to quote one.

02 Pain

Spec interpretation eats product-manager time.

"Mortise, F20, US26D, classroom function, 4-7/8" lip strike" doesn't map to a SKU until a human reads it. Every quote takes the same expert hours. Errors get eaten by the distributor at release.

02 Preqonn

Every clause resolves to a part number.

Function code, finish, fire label, lever style, latch throw, strike prep - extracted from spec language and matched to 120+ manufacturer catalogs. Every line cites the section it came from.

03 Pain

Substitutions caught after the quote ships.

The specified part is discontinued. The substitute breaks the fire rating. Or violates ADA closer-force. Nobody catches it until the submittal comes back stamped "rejected" - six weeks before delivery.

03 Preqonn

Alternates ranked, compliance verified.

Discontinued parts flagged before quote leaves. Substitutes ranked by spec match: function code, BHMA grade, fire rating, ADA force, finish equivalence. Approved alternates one click away.

04 Pain

Winning bid → manual re-entry.

The quote becomes a PO. Someone types it back into ERP. Finish codes get truncated. Quantities lose their per-opening breakdown. Lead times disappear. The release goes out incomplete.

04 Preqonn

Release-ready BOM, zero re-keying.

Winning quote exports straight to your release: every SKU with finish, option, lead time, and opening reference. CSV, XLSX, or direct API to Epicor, NetSuite, and most ERPs.

Spec → BOM · live

From a paragraph to a release.

Four stages, one pass. Scroll right.

Step 01

Raw spec, cited.

The architect's hardware section comes in as PDF text. Functions, fire labels, finishes, BHMA grades - buried in prose. Every line keeps its section and sheet citation so nothing floats free of its source.

Step 02

SKU-level extraction.

Spec language resolves to manufacturer part numbers. HAGER BB1191, VON DUPRIN 99L-F, LCN 4040XP - matched against 120+ live catalogs with current finish suffixes and BHMA grade verification.

Step 03

Substitutes when spec'd is dead.

Discontinued parts flagged. Alternates ranked by spec match - function code, fire rating, ADA force, finish equivalence. The reason for the swap travels with the line, ready to drop into a submittal.

Step 04

Release-ready BOM.

Per-opening breakdown. Live pricing. Lead times by SKU. Finish codes that match your vendor portal. Export to CSV, XLSX, or push direct to Epicor, NetSuite, or Acumatica. No re-keying.

Counter FAQ

What every counter asks first.

Five questions from sales and operations leaders. Real answers, no marketing.

Yes. Customer matrices upload once. Account-specific pricing, contract discounts, and house-numbered SKUs flow through to every quote. Your pricebook stays your pricebook.
The AI ranks substitutes by function code, BHMA grade, fire rating, ADA force, and finish equivalence. You see the spec match score on every alternate, with the reason the swap is safe. You decide which goes in the quote.
Direct integrations with Epicor, NetSuite, Acumatica, Sage 300, and Microsoft Dynamics. Export to CSV or XLSX for anything else. Release-ready BOM lands in your release-management module with the opening reference intact.
Every line is human-verified by a senior estimator before delivery. You're not trusting an algorithm - you're trusting the person who signed the BOM. Spec citations travel with every SKU so your team can audit any line in seconds.
Drop the addendum here. The BOM re-computes with a diff: every changed SKU, every revised quantity, every new fire rating flag. You see what changed in under a minute, not after re-keying 142 openings.
