HVAC estimating and proposals

Price the work without severing the handoff.

Ventrixx keeps the opportunity, customer, site, scope, worksheet pricing, labor and material cost, margin, proposal history, and sold-work handoff connected from the first conversation.

Commercial context from the start

Build proposals with the information the next team needs.

Estimating stays connected to the customer, job, pricing logic, and follow-through needed after a sale.

01

Opportunity context

Track prospects, customers, contacts, sites, opportunity status, ownership, and review context.

02

Worksheet pricing

Price labor and materials with cost, margin, and sell-price visibility. Apply overtime and double-time hours across the worksheet.

03

Status governance

Use a role- and permission-gated submit, approve, or reject status workflow with stage history.

04

Versions and alternates

Build separately priced alternate worksheets with their own labor, materials, pricing profiles, and subcontractor quotes. Carry included or accepted alternates into sold work.

05

Proposal documents

Publish proposal documents and export alternate worksheets to PDF while retaining their source record and pricing context.

06

Sold-work conversion

Convert a sold proposal to a project or service workflow with its commercial context intact.

Inside the estimate

Price the options with the same depth as the base scope.

Keep labor assumptions, supplier and subcontractor inputs, and alternate scope connected to the version being priced.

01

Overtime and double-time

Set worksheet overtime and double-time hours by labor type and see their effect on labor cost and selling price.

02

Version-specific subcontractor quotes

Attach subcontractor pricing to the applicable base worksheet version or alternate, keeping each quote in its own pricing context.

03

Alternate pricing and handoff

Use alternate worksheets, pricing profiles, and PDF exports to explain options. Included and accepted alternate pricing flows into proposal totals and sold-work conversion.

CRM and customer communication

Keep the relationship moving before and after the proposal.

Customer records, sales follow-up, documents, and customer decisions stay connected to the same work.

01

Sales pipelines and follow-up

Organize opportunities in company-defined pipelines and stages. Record activities, reminders, proposal follow-up notes, and shared account timelines.

02

Customers, contacts, and sites

Keep customer contacts and locations alongside equipment and commercial history so the next conversation starts with context.

03

Customer approval links

Share a retained document for customer review and record its acceptance against that document. Office staff can manage approval requests and their history.

04

Controlled customer portal

When enabled and configured, grant customers access to their permitted sites, invoices, proposals, agreements, equipment, and work summaries. Customers can submit service requests and review pending approvals.
