The problem
Manual conversions cause errors
Converting soot to inches to millimetres by hand, job after job, is where quoting mistakes creep in.
Glass and hardware get under-counted
Factory glass rounding, billing increments and hardware per window are fiddly to track in a spreadsheet — so margin quietly leaks.
Every estimator does it differently
Without shared formulas, two people quoting the same window arrive at two different prices.
How AluSync does it
Built for estimation, the fabricator's way
Soot-native, plus inches and mm
Enter sizes the way your workshop already measures — 8 soot = 1 inch — or in inches or millimetres. Area prices in square feet or square metres, with no conversion by hand.
Formula-mapped materials
Frame formulas, sash multipliers and material mapping are defined once and applied consistently, so every estimator quotes the same window the same way.
Factory-accurate glass and hardware
Glass is rounded to your factory increments and billed in the right steps, and hardware, labour and transport are applied automatically.
Costing you can verify
The numbers are transparent and checkable by hand — accuracy a fabricator can trust, not a black box.
Soot, inches and mm handled for you.
Shared formulas mean the same window costs the same.
Glass rounding and hardware counted accurately every time.
Estimation FAQs
What is soot measurement and does AluSync support it?
Soot is the traditional window-trade unit where 8 soot equal 1 inch. AluSync is soot-native: you enter sizes in soot exactly as your workshop measures, and can also work in inches or millimetres.
Can I enter sizes in mm and price area in sqm?
Yes. Dimensions can be entered in soot, inches or millimetres, and area can be priced in square feet or square metres — chosen per estimation, with conversions handled automatically.
How does AluSync calculate glass area?
Glass is rounded to your factory increments and billed in the correct steps, rather than charged on raw dimensions — so the estimate matches what the factory actually consumes.
