What is Smart Estimates?

Smart Estimates is Bolsivo's quoting module available on the Scale plan. It lets any service business generate accurate estimates based on a deterministic calculation engine — not AI for the numbers, but real formulas based on your cost structure. AI is used to write the introductory proposal text.

How it works

1

Set up your pricing profile

One-time setup: hourly rate, job minimum, target margin, overhead, taxes, rush surcharges, and recurring discounts. This profile is used across all your estimates.

2

Complete the client intake

A 4-step wizard collects: service type, client details, property characteristics (sq ft, condition, rooms, extras), and desired frequency.

3

Bolsivo calculates the price

The deterministic engine calculates estimated hours → labor cost → materials → surcharges → discounts → overhead → margin → tax → total. With a confidence range.

4

Review, edit the text, and download the PDF

You can edit the proposal's introductory text before exporting. The PDF includes your business name, client data, line-item breakdown, and payment and cancellation policies.

Why it matters for your business

Quotes in minutes, not hours

Manually calculating an estimate, formatting it, and sending it can take 30–60 minutes. With Smart Estimates, the full process takes under 5 minutes.

Consistent pricing

Without the module, it's easy to quote differently for similar jobs depending on the day. The calculation engine applies the same rules every time.

Professional proposal that builds trust

A PDF with your business name, line-item breakdown, and payment and cancellation policies conveys professionalism and reduces client questions.

Frequently asked questions

Does Smart Estimates use AI to calculate the price?

Not for the numbers. The calculation is completely deterministic — it uses your real rates and predictable formulas. AI (Claude) is only used to write the introductory proposal text, which is optional and editable.

What service types does Smart Estimates support?

The module includes presets for 14 service types: residential and commercial cleaning, carpet, windows, pressure washing, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, lawn care, pest control, pools, painting, detailing, and moving. For other services, you can use the generic preset.

Can I link an estimate to a lead in the pipeline?

Yes. Estimates can be associated with an existing lead in your pipeline to keep the full history — from the first email to the signed proposal.

Can the PDF be customized with my logo?

The PDF automatically includes your business name, contact details, and the proposal text. Custom logo support is on the roadmap.

Can I have multiple pricing profiles for different services?

In the current version, there is one pricing profile per organization. If you offer services with very different cost structures, you can manually adjust the intake for each estimate using available surcharges and extras.
