AI matches your design to articles and labour times
The AI matches the design data from the design step against articles in your article databases and supplier lists, and against your labour-time norms. Matching uses your preferences (brands, methods) and the calculated quantities. Upload your own article lists or connect a database.
What makes this so powerful?
Matching to articles and labour times
The AI matches the design data from the design step to concrete articles in your article databases and supplier lists, and to your labour-time norms. Matching uses your preferences from the configuration (brands, methods) and the calculated quantities.
- Matched to article databases
- Matched to labour-time norms
- Uses preferences and quantities
Confidence scores & alternatives
Every match — both article and labour time — receives a confidence score. For lower scores the platform automatically shows alternatives, and every match is traceable through the audit trail. Transparent and justified.
- Confidence score per match
- Automatic alternatives
- Full audit trail
Your lists, your control
Upload your own article lists and labour norms or connect a database, so the AI matches against your data. Not satisfied with a match? Choose an alternative, swap the article or adjust the labour time — you always stay in control.
- Upload article lists or connect database
- Bring your own labour-time norms
- Full control over result
