New here? Load a typical panel for an instant estimate, then adjust the numbers to match your build.
📥 Import a BOM CSV · XLSX · PDF
Already have a parts list? Drop it in — it fills the component counts below and re-runs the estimate. Everything is parsed in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Best results: export your BOM as a CSV or Excel (.xlsx) with columns for Quantity, Catalog #, and Description — the column headers are detected automatically.
- 1 · Drop the file. It's read entirely in your browser — nothing leaves your computer.
- 2 · Review the table. Each line is auto-sorted into a component category; correct any with the “Counts as” dropdown, and set non-components (wire duct, labels, hardware) to “— uncounted —”.
- 3 · Apply. The quantities fill the component counts below and the estimate updates — you can still adjust any field by hand.
- PDFs are best-effort. A clean parts-list table reads well; a BOM drawn onto a schematic comes through noisier, so review carefully — a CSV/XLSX export gives the cleanest result.
