Most contractors price their bids one of two ways: they guess, or they copy what they submitted last time and hope inflation didn't eat their margin.
Neither works.
The problem isn't that contractors don't care about pricing accuracy. The problem is that getting real inflation data across multiple years is genuinely difficult. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes Producer Price Index (PPI) data every single month — going all the way back to 2005. Pulling multi-year inflation trends manually isn't just tedious. It's practically impossible to do at scale.
So we built a solution inside Contrax AI.
Here's what it does:
Our tool pulls directly from PPI data — the same source the government uses — and applies it to your specific product category. You enter your margin, and the AI calculates a data-backed price that accounts for real inflation over time.
No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No leaving money on the table because you underbid by 12% due to inflation you didn't factor in.
This is the kind of edge that used to require a team of analysts. Now it takes seconds.
If you're still pricing bids the old way, you're already behind.
