Proposal uploads got a lot smarter

Uploading past proposals now keeps your tiers separate, matches to services you already have instead of duplicating them, combines prices across proposals, and learns how you name your line items — all in a review screen that tells you exactly what it found.

Proposal uploads got a lot smarter

Uploading a folder of past proposals is still the fastest way to fill your catalog and pricing memory. We just made what comes out of it a lot more accurate — and the review screen a lot easier to trust.

Your tiers stay separate

If you sell the same work at named levels — Standard, Plus, Premium; Good/Better/Best — BidCraft now keeps each tier as its own priced version and groups them under one base service. "Backsplash Plus at $28" and "Backsplash Premium at $38" come in as two versions of Backsplash, each with its own price history. Blending a Standard job into a Premium average would have thrown both numbers off — so we don't.

You'll see them on the review screen as a little ladder: Backsplash — Standard $22 · Plus $28 · Premium $38, each level keepable, renamable, or skippable on its own.

It matches services you already have

When a service in your upload looks like one already in your catalog, BidCraft tells you — "Looks like your Shower Floor Install (91%)" — and offers to add this proposal's pricing to it instead of making a duplicate. A strong match defaults to combining; a looser one just flags it and keeps them separate unless you say otherwise. No more cleaning up near-duplicates after the fact.

Prices genuinely combine

Adding a batch to a service you already have now stacks onto its history — every price from the new proposals joins the ones already there, so your median and range get better with each upload. Re-uploading the same batch won't double-count. (Before, an update could quietly overwrite what was there. Not anymore.)

It learns how you name things

Beyond your writing tone, BidCraft now picks up the shape of your line names — whether you lead with the room ("Master Bath — Shower Floor"), tag a tier ("Backsplash (Premium)"), or keep it plain — plus your tier order and whether you show a price on every line. The review screen shows it all in a "What we learned about your style" card, on by default. If your uploads disagree on tier order, it just asks which order is right.

A review screen that earns your trust

  • Rough scans get a "double-check this" flag and default to Skip — nothing junky sneaks into your catalog.
  • All-in packages link their pieces automatically; anything nested too deep to link cleanly gets called out so you can fix it on the package's page.
  • Every service has a clear default action — Create, Add price data, or Skip — that you can change with one tap.

Nothing saves until you accept, so take your time. Untick the rough ones, fix a name, pick your tier order — then save it all at once.
