Quote Analysis now supports Excel files
You can now pull spreadsheet quotes into the same comparison as your PDF quote files.
Quote Analysis now reads Excel quotes (.xlsx and .xls) alongside your PDFs.
When you start a comparison on a package, your Excel quotes are selectable and picked up automatically, so the quotes that used to sit out of the analysis are compared with the rest.
Two things worth knowing:
- Figures pulled from an Excel quote won't show a citation.
- To view an Excel quote in the comparison viewer, you'll be prompted to download the file.

A faster Quotes page, organised by trade
We've rebuilt the
Quotes
page around how you actually estimate, by trade.Your packages now live in a sidebar on the left, like the folders you already work in.
- Click a trade to jump straight to its quotes instead of scrolling the whole page.
- Quotes sit in a sortable table.
- You can drag and drop files straight onto a package to upload them,.
- Quote Analysis is one click away in the sidebar.
Editing happens in a single view right next to the table (file preview, price, notes, and history), so you're not bounced out to a separate page anymore.
Everything you could do before still works: view, edit, download, and delete. It's just quicker to find a quote and get it organised.

Keep your Address Book sharp with Contact review
Your Address Book is only as good as the contacts in it, and the new Contact Review tab in your Address Book makes it easy to keep it clean.
The Contact Review tool surfaces any contact who hasn't responded to an invitation in the last 12 months, so you can decide what to do in seconds.
Archive the ones you don't need, or tidy up the details on the ones you want to keep, because contacts with missing or incorrect details might not show up in your invite lists.
Each contact's 12-month engagement stats sit right alongside, so you've got the context to make the call. Youāll have less clutter, cleaner invite lists, and sharper quotes.

Address Book

š New: Anchor your quote analysis with a BoQ
Weāve levelled up Quote Analysis. You can now upload a Bill of Quantities (BoQ) to act as the source of truth for your subcontractor quote comparisons.
Instead of just comparing quotes to each other, you can now ground the analysis in your projectās actual line items. This helps you spot universal scope gaps, where every bidder missed a requirement, and ensures your reports are consistent every time you re-run them.
Whatās new?
Optional BoQ Upload:
A new 2-step flow allows you to upload a package-specific BoQ (Excel or PDF) when starting an analysis.Structured Comparisons:
Your Scope Breakdown will now map inclusions and exclusions directly to your BoQ line items.Identify Universal Gaps:
Automatically highlight items that are missing across all submitted quotes.Improved Consistency:
Using a BoQ as an anchor ensures more stable, repeatable results across multiple runs.Why it matters
Estimators are under a lot of pressure during the final days of a tender. This update reduces the manual work of "mapping" inconsistent quotes to your own structure, allowing you to move from raw data to a leveled comparison in minutes, not days.
How to get started
- Go to the Quotestab in any project.
- Select a trade package and click Analyse Quotes.
- Upload your quotes and package-specific BoQ and get comparing.
