SimplyCount for Low-Voltage Integrators

For low-voltage integrators counting drops, cameras and devices, SimplyCount turns a multi-hour manual takeoff into minutes — and keeps the number yours to sign off on.

Start FreeSee it count

For low-voltage integrators, SimplyCount turns a multi-hour manual takeoff into minutes without taking the number out of your hands. It finds every symbol instance across the plan set, you review and sign off on the count, and it exports cleanly to Excel, CSV or PDF for the estimating stack you already run. Choose on-prem and your plans stay in an encrypted local database on your own machine; choose cloud and there's nothing to install — either way it's an easy yes for IT and procurement.

Why it's hard by hand

Manual symbol counting eats the hours you need for the actual bid.

One miscount can sink a job you should have won.

You shouldn't be forced onto someone else's cloud to get a count — you should get to choose on-prem or hosted.

How SimplyCount handles it

What you get

  • Finds every symbol instance across the plan set automatically.
  • You review and confirm every detection before it leaves the app, and unverified counts show as a floor (≥), never dressed up as a total.
  • Deploy it your way: run SimplyCount fully on-prem — encrypted local database inside your firewall, air-gap-capable, nothing uploaded — or as a hosted cloud solution with nothing to install. Two supported modes; you pick the one your shop needs.
  • Exports to Excel, CSV and PDF for your estimating workflow.
  • SimplyCount's benchmark is 60 unique symbols across 168 pages in about an hour — roughly 168× faster than counting by hand.

Questions

Common questions

Can SimplyCount count low-voltage integrators automatically?
Yes. Point at the symbol from your own legend and SimplyCount finds and marks every instance across the whole plan set, then lets you review and sign off on the total before it lands in a bid.
Can we keep everything inside our network?
Yes — that's the on-prem/offline mode: detection runs locally, results sit in an encrypted local database, there's no upload step, and you can run it with the network cable pulled, inside your firewall, air-gapped. Prefer zero install? Run the hosted cloud mode instead. You choose per your security needs.
How fast is it, really?
SimplyCount's benchmark is 60 unique symbols across 168 pages in about an hour — roughly 168× faster than counting by hand. Most sheets go from open plans to a draft count in minutes.
Can it learn our custom or non-standard symbols?
Yes. SimplyCount is self-learning: teach it a symbol once from your own legend and it counts that symbol on every future job, getting more accurate the more you use it.
