The problem

Pricing a BOM should not take three days.

A typical commercial electrical bid has 200-2,000 line items, due Friday at noon. You spend Wednesday afternoon and most of Thursday on the phone with three distributors getting pricing back line by line.

Distributor portals do not parse a PDF takeoff.

You have a PDF takeoff from the estimator, a markup of the engineer's bluebeam set, or a scanned spec book. You cannot copy-paste 800 lines into a distributor portal. You end up retyping the high-priced items and skipping the rest.

Three-vendor BOM pricing is normal. And slow.

You shop pricing across three distributors per category. Wire from one. Devices from another. Fixtures from a third. By the time pricing comes back you are pasting numbers into an estimate spreadsheet you will need to redo on the next bid.

Stocking changes break your spec.

Half the lines are spec-grade. Distributors substitute on the quote without telling you. Your estimator catches it on review and now you are redoing pricing on every substituted line.

Win the bid, the schedule moves, and pricing is stale.

You won. The GC pushes the schedule three months. Now your quoted pricing is expired and you start the cycle again on the same BOM you priced six months ago.

How we work

BOM in. Priced quote out. Minutes, not days.

We built the workflow specifically for commercial electrical estimators and project managers who need to price a takeoff fast without losing accuracy.

01

Upload the BOM in whatever format you have.

PDF takeoff from the estimator. Excel from your detailer. CSV exported from McCormick or ConEst. Scanned spec book. Photo of a markup. Plain text email. We work from any of it.

02

We parse and normalize the lines.

Each line gets parsed for manufacturer part number, description, quantity, and unit of measure. Ambiguous lines get flagged so you can confirm before we price (better than silent substitutions).

03

Priced quote in 5-15 minutes.

Most distributors take 2-3 days to price an electrical takeoff. We return your BOM with priced lines and alternates flagged within 15 minutes for sub-500-line bids. Pricing is held through your bid validity window.

04

Hold the quote through your bid cycle.

Pricing is honored through your bid validity window. If you win, we deliver at the quoted rate to the job site,, on the schedule the GC needs.

Common scenarios

Where electrical contractors typically use us.

Bid-cycle BOM pricing

Estimator hands you a 600-line PDF takeoff Tuesday morning. Bid is Friday at 2 PM. You upload, we price, you have a working quote within the hour. Substitutions clearly flagged.

Spec-driven specialty pricing

Engineer specified an exotic disconnect or a specific fixture line. Your usual distributor does not stock it. We track inventory across multiple supplier networks and surface real pricing and lead times within hours.

Mid-project change orders

Owner changed the lighting package or added a panelboard. CO needs pricing today. Send the revised line list, we quote within minutes and deliver to the job site on the schedule the GC needs.

Stockout coverage for active projects

Your primary distributor is out of MC cable or pipe at the size you need. We source from a second supplier and ship to the job site without a project delay.

End-of-project punch list buys

Final 50 lines of cleanup hardware, replacement devices, missing trim. One PO, ships to the site within days, single invoice. Replaces the 3-distributor scramble that punch lists usually become.

Multi-site capital programs

Property owner doing an LED retrofit across 25 sites. One quote across the portfolio, ship each site, one consolidated invoice. Account stays open for the duration of the program.

FAQ

Common questions from estimators and PMs.

How does BOM pricing actually work?

Upload your BOM in PDF, Excel, CSV, or paste lines as text. We parse the lines, normalize manufacturer part numbers, source across multiple distributor inventories, and return a priced quote. Typical turnaround: 5-15 minutes for BOMs under 500 lines.

What file formats do you accept?

PDF (including scanned PDFs with OCR), Excel (.xlsx,.xls), CSV, plain text, screenshots, photos of paper takeoffs. If you can read it, we can usually parse it.

Do you handle bid-cycle pricing for project quotes?

Yes. Send the BOM with the bid due date. We hold quoted pricing for the duration of your bid validity. If you win, we deliver at the quoted rate.

Can you ship to active job sites?

Yes. Any address, with or without an active office or trailer. Delivery windows can be scheduled, including AM-only or after-hours when the site is accessible.

What manufacturers do you carry?

Through our supplier network we have access to Eaton, Square D, Hubbell, Leviton, Lutron, Cooper, Bryant, Hoffman, Panduit, Belden, Southwire, AFC, Lithonia, Acuity, and most other commercial electrical brands. Send specific part numbers to confirm.

Can you match or beat my current distributor's pricing?

On many lines yes, particularly on commodity items like wire, conduit, and stocking devices. On low-velocity or specialty SKUs we may be at parity or slightly above. We will not pretend otherwise. The win is usually on speed, missing-link routing, and consolidated invoicing across job sites.

Do you carry low-voltage and datacom alongside line voltage?

Yes. Patch panels, jacks, faceplates, structured cabling, IEC server cords, cable management, plenum and riser-rated cable. Datacom orders run on the same workflow as power.

Net terms and credit?

Net-30 with credit review. Initial credit decision typically takes 7-14 days. Credit card payment available immediately on smaller orders.
