This feature is pivotal for users who operate across various systems, project environments, or with diverse stakeholders, ensuring maximum interoperability and flexibility without disruption to workflows.
Robust File Format Support Enhances Workflow Integration
The platform supports both the import and export of cost data in common industry formats, allowing estimators to interface with multiple environments efficiently. This includes the ability to bring in project-specific data from external spreadsheets and databases, as well as export detailed cost breakdowns and summaries in formats easily consumable by clients or internal teams.

- Import Capabilities: Accepts cost data from multiple data sources including CSV, Excel, and proprietary estimating files
- Export Capabilities: Outputs include CSV, Excel, and standardized digital estimating files for archival or integration with external reporting tools
- Visual Reports: Graphical and tabular report generation available in PDF format for both internal review and external presentation
Flexible Data Sharing Meets Real-Time Requirements
Project teams benefit from quick sharing and storage of takeoffs and cost estimates thanks to this dynamic file format versatility. Real-time edits, updates, and collaborative feedback loops are supported with minimal friction, ensuring that teams can iterate with speed and accuracy.
Enabling System Interoperability
Interoperability is more than a convenience—it's a necessity for modern estimating workflows. Active Estimating recognizes that teams often work with legacy systems or multiple platforms.
