A Smarter Procurement Solution for
Estimators
Estimators are key to accurate, profitable bids, but shifting material costs, stale quotes, and manual BOM costing make estimating challenging and time-consuming.
Bids Built on Real Prices, Not Last Quarter’s Quotes
An estimate is only as good as the numbers underneath it. When material pricing lives in outdated price files, email quotes, and list-price catalogs, every bid is a gamble: price too high and lose the job, too low and eat the margin.
Peregrin gives estimators current pricing and availability from every supplier, at your negotiated rates, and turns BOM costing from an afternoon of copy-paste into a minutes-long upload. So you bid faster, and the price you win at is a price you can actually buy at.
- Real-time supplier pricing and availability
- Upload a BOM, get it costed in minutes
- Your contract pricing, not list prices
- Freshness indicators on every number
- Compare suppliers and alternates for value engineering
- Works with Bidtracer, Excel, and CSV BOMs
Always-Current Pricing & Availability
Peregrin connects to every supplier using the method they support (live API feeds, EDI exchanges, or scheduled price-file imports) and shows exactly how fresh every number is. Your bid carries today's price, not last quarter's.
- Real-time API feeds from vendors that offer them
- Scheduled daily or weekly price-file imports for the rest
- Freshness indicators on every line so you know what you're looking at
Make Estimating Faster & Bids More Accurate
Peregrin closes the gap between the price you bid and the price you buy, with live data, automated costing, and a clean handoff to purchasing.
Real-Time Pricing & Availability
Live API feeds, EDI exchanges, and scheduled price-file imports keep supplier pricing as fresh as each vendor allows, with freshness indicators on every line.
BOM Upload & Instant Costing
Upload a Bidtracer, Excel, or CSV BOM and Peregrin matches 90–95% of parts across your suppliers automatically, priced and totaled in minutes.
Your Pricing, Applied Automatically
Tenant-specific contract pricing on every part means your estimates reflect what you actually pay, not the list price everyone else sees.
Supplier & Alternate Comparison
See every vendor that carries a part side by side, and compare equivalent alternates, so value engineering happens during the bid, not after the award.
Estimating & ERP Integration
Connect your estimating tool and ERP (Bidtracer, ComputerEase, QuickBooks, NetSuite, or whatever you run) so the BOM you estimated is the BOM purchasing orders from. One thread from bid to buyout.
Bring Your Own AI (Coming Soon)
Connect Claude, or any AI agent, to your Peregrin account by API for live parts, availability, and your contract pricing. AI-built estimates carry real numbers, not placeholders.
Solving the Biggest Procurement Challenges for Estimators
Material costs are constantly fluctuating
Peregrin keeps pricing connected to your suppliers via live API feeds, EDI, and scheduled imports, and shows how current every number is. You estimate from today’s price, not the price on a six-month-old spreadsheet.
Manually costing a BOM takes hours
Upload the BOM and Peregrin matches parts across your suppliers automatically at your contract pricing: 90–95% match rates with vendor-ready POs on the other end. Hours of copy-paste become minutes of review.
List prices don’t reflect what we actually pay
Peregrin applies your tenant-specific pricing to every part in every catalog. Estimates carry your real cost basis, so margin math holds up when the job hits purchasing.
Margins erode between bid and buyout
Because estimating and purchasing run on the same platform and the same pricing, the buyout starts from the exact BOM you bid. Price drift is visible immediately. Alternates are a click away when a line moves against you.
Estimating and procurement live in separate systems
Peregrin connects your estimating tool and your ERP, so the handoff from estimate to purchase order is a workflow, not a re-keying project. No transcription errors, no lost scope.
AI-generated estimates are full of placeholder pricing
Coming soon: connect Claude or any AI agent to your Peregrin account with an API key. Your agent gets live access to parts, availability, and your contract pricing, so an AI-built BOM lands as a real, buyable estimate instead of a guess.
