Emmion Estima brings tender estimating, cost estimating, tender documents and tender-process outputs into one browser-based system. AI is used to reduce manual processing so estimators can spend more time on production planning, cost structure and execution optimisation.
AI-assisted tender document analysis
Tender material can be attached to the project and AI can be used to structure the material and identify information relevant to estimating, including requirements, responsibilities, risks, schedules and other tender conditions.
Calculation memos, procurement plans and tender documents
Project material can be used to generate tender-process documentation such as calculation memos and procurement plans, keeping documentation connected to the project and calculation data.
Build the calculation structure from a quantity list
A quantity list can be used as the basis for automatically creating a calculation structure with quantities and units. This reduces manual setup and allows cost estimating to start faster.
Resource-based cost estimating
- labour
- equipment
- transport
- materials
- subcontracting
Resource prices, capacities, quantities and factors can be used as the basis of the calculation.
Historical knowledge supports new estimates
Estima is designed to help companies use information from previous estimates and completed projects in new tenders. Historical information can support comparisons of prices, resources, capacities and actual costs when suitable data is available.
Towards learning automatic resourcing
Estima is being developed to use previous calculation structures and resourcing so that it can increasingly suggest or create resource allocations automatically. This page does not claim that this capability is already fully available in production.
More time for production planning
When document review, calculation setup and documentation can be automated, estimator time can be redirected towards production methods, procurement, resources, risks and execution planning.
Browser-based SaaS
Estima runs in a web browser. Projects, calculations and project material are available according to each user's access rights.
