Estimating that gets to a price the same way every time.
Solomon turns estimating into a governed workflow — pricing, options, approvals, and follow-up tied together instead of living in someone's truck.
Why estimates leak margin.
Pricing decisions made in driveways, with inconsistent options and no follow-up, quietly bleed margin and conversion at the same time.
- Pricing depends on who's quoting.
- Good/better/best presentation is informal at best.
- Approvals and discounts aren't governed.
- Unsold estimates die in inboxes.
Capabilities for governed estimating.
Templated estimates
Options, inclusions, and price logic codified — not improvised.
Approval workflows
Discounts and exceptions follow a real path, not a side text.
Live estimate status
Sent, viewed, accepted, stalled — visible to the people who can act.
Sold-job handoff
Won estimates flow into scheduling and dispatch without re-keying.
Estimate analytics
Win rate, avg ticket, and option mix — by tech, by source, by week.
Stalled-estimate recovery
Quiet quotes don't sit forever; they trigger structured follow-up.
From scope to signed.
- Step 01
Scope
Job captured against templated, governed pricing.
- Step 02
Present
Customer sees clean options, not a hand-written number.
- Step 03
Approve
Exceptions and discounts route through real approval.
- Step 04
Convert
Sold work flows downstream cleanly; stalled work gets worked.

Common questions
Does Solomon replace the tools we already use for estimating?+
No. Solomon governs how work moves through your existing tools and adds the operational layer that's currently missing.
How long does it take to deploy?+
Most operators are running their first workflows within days, focused on the highest-leverage handoff first.
Will the team have to change how they work?+
The interfaces look familiar. What changes is what the operation can see — and what it can act on.
How is success measured?+
Throughput, drift, and rework are the honest metrics. Solomon makes them observable.
