Smart Items & Catalog

Pricing that thinks for itself.

Your catalog isn't a flat price list — it's a set of formulas that read the dimensions of the work area and your own labor and material constants, then price themselves. Upload a plan and Sidecar builds the scope for you.

Smart Items

Line items that price themselves.

A smart item is a configurable line-item template — inputs, outputs, and formulas that drive cost components. Build one from scratch, generate one with Ask Max, or start from the library.

Formulas

Formulas that know your business.

Quantity, unit cost, and markup are all expressions — not fixed numbers. Reference the dimensions of the work area (rectArea(w, h), area.height), your own constants (constants.HANDY_HOURLY_RATE), and other inputs on the item — then watch a live preview price it instantly as you edit.
