For any eligible product, the AI analyzes:

  • Product type

  • Category

  • Vendor

  • Unit cost

  • Retail price (if available)

  • Trade discount depth

  • Industry norms

Then it recommends:

  • A markup percentage

  • A client price

  • Confidence level

  • Supporting reasoning

This removes guesswork from pricing and protects your margins.


Where to Find It

  1. Open a Project.

  2. Open a Product.

  3. In the Financials section, look for:

    • The ✨ icon next to markup or client price, or

    • The “Suggest Markup” button.

The product must have a unit cost entered to qualify.


What You’ll See

After requesting a suggestion:

  • Suggested Markup %

  • Suggested Client Price

  • Confidence Level (High / Medium / Low)

  • Industry Benchmark Range

  • Reasoning Summary

Example:

Furniture typically carries 40–60% markup. Based on vendor and cost, 55% is recommended.


How It Helps

AI Markup Suggestions helps you:

  • Stay aligned with industry standards

  • Avoid underpricing

  • Protect margins

  • Maintain consistency across categories

  • Save time researching markup norms

  • Price faster without spreadsheets

Instead of calculating margins manually or referencing old pricing sheets, the AI gives you an instant recommendation backed by industry logic.


Best Practices

  • Use for new products when unsure about markup.

  • Use when working with unfamiliar vendors.

  • Apply high-confidence suggestions directly.

  • Review medium/low-confidence suggestions before applying.

You can always adjust pricing manually after applying.


Important Notes

  • Suggestions are cached for 7 days.

  • You may refresh (if available) for a new recommendation.

  • Always review pricing before presenting to clients.
