System design

TradeFlow stores structured jobs, applies visible logic, and explains the result.

This page explains the operational side of the system: what information gets saved, how pricing is handled, why verification exists, and where the time savings come from.

Pricing engine

Switch between pricing modes and inspect the breakdown

Pricing behavior

Service, install, and markup-driven logic

Stored record

What gets retained on the job

Product capabilities

Core system functions at a glance

Workflow coverage Rough-in, service, equipment quoting

Multiple operational paths under one product instead of separate tools and spreadsheets.

Data handling Structured job records with saved history

Jobs persist with metadata, outputs, verification state, and dashboard retrieval context.

AI posture Assisted parsing with deterministic guardrails

AI helps with note interpretation, but direct rules handle predictable material logic.

Verification Post-generation review layer

Flags missing lines, duplicates, structural mismatches, and unsupported outputs before final trust.

Pricing Explainable category and task-based pricing

Supports flat-rate logic, cost-plus pricing, markup rules, and visible totals.

Business impact Faster ordering and cleaner office handoff

Less manual cleanup, less missed material, fewer pricing inconsistencies, and better job traceability.

Time savings

Where the operational gain actually comes from

Manual sorting avoided 20-35 min

Automatically structuring shorthand notes into the correct categories and floors.

Carryover logic avoided 10-20 min

Reducers, flex, collars, and related derived materials no longer need repeated manual math.

Review + verification saved 10-15 min

Issues surface in one place instead of being discovered later by the office or supplier.

Retrieval time saved later 5-15 min

Past jobs remain searchable instead of buried in texts, PDFs, or memory.

Operational credibility

The product also lives inside a real managed environment

TradeFlow is supported by a real deployment environment, not just a mockup.

What that means in practice

  • Reverse proxy and HTTPS in front of the product surfaces
  • Backend services for storage, generation, and pricing behavior
  • Dashboard and retrieval layer for saved jobs
  • Monitoring and maintenance around the application environment

That matters because the system is meant to run reliably, hold business data, and stay usable after it is deployed.
