For high-volume dealers and multi-branch operations.
From reading the project manual to submitting your bid, a Division 11 quote cycle can stretch up to a full week of estimator time: spec section review, equipment takeoff, manufacturer and rep routing with discount chains, quote request emails, install and fabrication estimates, addendum reviews, quote tracking and rep follow-up, bid audit, and CSV export. At $35–50/hr fully loaded, that's up to $2,000 per bid in labor alone. SmartTakeoffs collapses the takeoff and pricing portions to minutes — and gives you the tools to handle everything else faster — for $10 per takeoff.

Numbers are estimates based on the time savings reported by a 40-year foodservice equipment dealer in Texas using SmartTakeoffs daily. Your shop's mileage will vary with project mix and consultant style.
One takeoff covers a typical Division 11 bid — up to about 100 items. Re-running a takeoff on the same project (e.g. after an addendum) doesn't count as a second takeoff. An unusually large bid may use an additional takeoff.
Starter is a single seat, Pro includes 5. Need more? Pro Plus scales to your team size — reach out and we'll set up a plan that fits.
We'll let you know when you're getting close. If you regularly exceed 50, Pro Plus is the right fit — and we'll make sure you're never locked out mid-bid.
Yes — SmartTakeoffs builds your takeoff and exports an import-ready CSV in the foodservice industry's standard format. It drops straight into your existing bid software, which still handles pricing, proposal generation, and the relationship with your dealer catalog. They work together, not instead of each other.
Completely. Your discount programs, rep contacts, pricing, and bid data are private to your account. Other dealers on the platform cannot see or access your information.
