For HVAC manufacturers' rep firms

Quote from the plan set in minutes, not evenings.

RepLine reads the mechanical schedules in your engineering PDFs, builds the equipment list, matches it to your line card, and turns it into a branded quote. Then it keeps the project moving through submittals, orders, and follow-up.

Illustration with fictional sample data

The problem

Quoting from plan sets is slow, manual, and easy to get wrong.

A bid comes in with a 60-sheet PDF and a due date on Thursday. Someone has to find the schedules, retype every tag and capacity, cross the specified brands over to your lines, and format a quote. That work lands on your best salespeople, usually after hours.

Retyping

Schedules get keyed in by hand.Every quantity, CFM, and tonnage is a chance for a typo that shows up after the PO.

Crossref

Competitor basis-of-design takes research.Matching a specified model to your equivalent means digging through catalogs for each line.

Scope gaps

Missed tags cost the job or the margin.One unit left off a schedule is either a lost bid or an uncomfortable change order.

Follow-up

Open bids live in inboxes and memory.Without a pipeline, quotes go out and nobody calls the contractor back.

How it works

From PDF to sent quote in three steps.

Drop in the plans and specs

Upload the engineering PDFs. RepLine finds the equipment schedules and pulls each tag, quantity, and key performance data into a scoped equipment list you can review and edit.

Built by a rep, for reps

Made by someone who has quoted the job at 10 p.m.

I spent about nine years as an outside HVAC rep covering Indiana and Kentucky, working jobs from the first plan set through startup.

Before and alongside that, I worked in procurement and software. RepLine comes from both sides: knowing what a contractor needs on a quote, and knowing how much of the work behind it can be handled by software.

It is built around how rep firms actually operate: line cards, basis-of-design, submittals, and the follow-up call that wins the order.

Security and tenant isolation

Your pricing and pipeline stay yours.

Rep firms compete with each other. RepLine is built so that each firm's data is walled off from every other firm's.

Isolated tenants

Each rep firm is its own tenant with its own projects, customers, pricing, and documents.

Role-based access

Permissions by role decide who can see costs, commissions, and customer records.

Your brand on every document

Quotes, submittals, and invoices go out under your firm's name, not ours.
