Ember

Ember is where opportunities turn into priced, scoped estimates — built from an item catalog your whole team keeps up to date. It covers everything between a lead and a signed estimate, so contractors and businesses stop chasing the latest spreadsheet.

What's inside

Opportunities

  • Status, bid due date, and whatever custom fields your process needs
  • Filter the list and export it to Excel in a couple clicks
  • Click into any job for a quick view of its estimates

Estimates

  • Pricing versions scoped section by section
  • Line items pulled straight from your shared catalog
  • Quantities, unit cost, and totals update as you go

Item catalog

  • One record for material, labor, and cost per item
  • Reused across every estimate that needs it

PDF takeoffs

  • Attach project drawings straight to an estimate
  • Set a scale, then click or drag on the PDF to count or measure — quantities feed the estimate automatically
  • Click a marker to see what it lands on in the drawing, then find every matching symbol on the page in one shot

Access

  • Role-based permissions for admins, estimators, and viewers
  • Custom fields you can add yourself, per page

Under the hood

The frontend is a Next.js + TypeScript app; the backend is a Python FastAPI service exposing REST endpoints for opportunities, estimates, items, and everything else the UI needs. Ember is still in active development — check back for updates as it gets closer to launch.
