Quantification and matching eat 50–80% of an estimator's time. Perimeter does the matching semantically — "steel pipe 57×3.5" finds all eleven of its other spellings — on an appliance in your server room. Your bid pricing never touches a cloud.
Bring 20 lines of a real catalogue to the demo — we match them live
of a cost estimator's time goes to quantification and matching — not to judgement, negotiation or better bids.
Industry research, EU constructionfor the same item across supplier catalogues and your own BoQ. Exact-word search can't resolve them. Meaning can.
Typical mid-market ERP audityour bid pricing and supplier terms should ever visit. They are the margin of the business — and a favourite target.
The reason this is an appliancePerimeter is loaded locally with the material that defines your competitiveness. It reads, matches and answers with sources. Nothing is sent anywhere — verifiably.
Tender calculations, margins, historical win/loss pricing. The numbers a competitor would pay for.
Price lists, framework agreements, rebates, delivery penalties — searchable by meaning, cited by clause.
BoQs, specs, standards, correspondence. "Which contract covers material substitution?" — answered in seconds, with the page.
We fix a reference set: 300–500 real catalogue lines plus the matching BoQ. Your estimator matches them by hand once — that's the baseline in hours.
We agree the acceptance threshold on your sample — share of lines matched correctly, first try. Miss the gate, and there is no licence invoice. Only the pilot work is paid.
Accuracy, share of lines needing no manual fix, hours before and after, load test for your real user count. The same numbers become your business case.
One page for your IT lead or DPO: architecture, zero-egress proof, EU hardware supply chain, DPIA template. Built to survive the review without a meeting.
One estimating team, one corpus. A serious pilot, honestly priced.
Matching plus document search for the whole office, training included, load-tested for your users.
Multiple departments, heavier hardware, priority SLA.
Support is 20% a year and includes model updates. Hardware at cost +15–20%, bought in the EU under your name. Full pricing
A closed-perimeter deployment matching supplier items to estimate positions runs in production today on GX10-class hardware with open-weight models. We publish no numbers from it — because they weren't instrumented, and we won't invent them. Every deployment since carries the measurement protocol above.

The pilot answers that on your files, not ours. Perimeter reads spreadsheets, PDFs and exports from common estimating suites; the reference sample is built from whatever you actually use.
We won't quote a number we didn't measure on your corpus — that's what the acceptance gate is for. You see the accuracy on your own sample before any licence exists.
We load-test your real profile during the pilot instead of promising. For heavier offices there is a faster model configuration and a heavier hardware class — the upgrade path is part of the plan, not a surprise.
No. The box arrives configured; training is two sessions for the estimating team. Support covers updates — including model updates — for the year.
No. Your estimating suite stays. Perimeter removes the manual matching and searching around it, and hands your suite clean, matched positions.
A 20-minute call, no slides. Send a page of a real supplier catalogue in advance — we run it live against a BoQ and show every source link.
