The Estimate, Sent
Before The Lead Goes Cold.
Building an estimate by hand takes real time, and the customer asked three other businesses the same day. Everybooking's estimating engine reads the request, applies your pricing rules, and sends a real itemized estimate in under 8 seconds, around the clock.
The estimate race
First real estimate wins the job.
01
The request comes in
A customer describes the job, by web form, email, text, or a phone call. They've likely sent the same request to two or three competitors.
02
Most businesses go quiet
The estimate goes on a to-do list. It gets built that evening, or the next day, or after the weekend. By then the customer has options.
03
You've already sent yours
Everybooking reads the request, prices it against your rules, and sends a real itemized estimate in seconds. You're the first one they open.

FAQ
Estimating Software Questions.
- What is estimating software?
- Estimating software turns a customer's request into a priced, itemized estimate. Basic estimating software is a digital form you fill in by hand. The version that actually changes your business reads the request, applies your pricing rules and material costs automatically, and sends a real estimate in seconds, so you're the first to respond, not the third.
- How is this different from a calculator or a template?
- A calculator and a template both still require you to sit down and do the work for every request. Estimating software that's worth paying for does the work itself: it reads the inquiry, figures out the scope, prices it against your rules, and produces the itemized estimate. You review and send, instead of build from scratch.
- Who is this estimating software built for?
- Service businesses whose estimates have real structure, multiple line items, material and labor components, conditional pricing. The common thread is that estimates take real time to build by hand and the job is worth enough that responding first matters. If your estimates are a single flat number, you may not need this; if they're itemized and the work is competitive, you do.
- Will the estimates be accurate?
- Yes, because they're built from your own pricing rules, your labor rates, material costs, markups, and conditional logic, encoded once. Every estimate applies them consistently. Before going live you verify a week of estimates against what you'd have produced by hand.
- Why does estimate speed matter so much?
- Across service industries, the business that sends a real estimate first wins the large majority of jobs. A customer with three quotes requested rarely waits for the fourth. Estimating software that responds in seconds instead of days is the difference between being the first estimate they see and the one they never open.
