Estimating & business foundations
Benchmark CoreThe custom-developed calculation and rules engine
Translates practical estimating knowledge into consistent, repeatable calculations. Core applies configured rules for quantities, materials, labor, minimums, accessories and installation requirements. It keeps detailed estimating logic separate from the sales interface and provides the calculation foundation for Benchmark Quick Quote.
Benchmark Core EnterpriseBusiness administration and operations
The administrative foundation for managing companies, locations, user access, service selections, proposals, contracts, subscriptions and Benchmark’s customer billing and payment processing. This is distinct from Benchmark Core’s estimating calculations. Its current billing integration collects payments for Benchmark’s own services; customer-business payment collection is a separately scoped capability.

Benchmark Local Boost
Be found. Build trust. Make it easier for customers to choose you.
A strong website is only one part of getting found. Incorrect business details, inconsistent listings and weak map visibility can keep customers from reaching you in the first place. Local Boost manages that local presence—with approved corrections, monitoring and documented results.
Visibility across your market
Visibility and Growth plans use geographic ranking grids, keyword tracking and competitor comparisons to show where your business is easier—or harder—to find.
Trust through authentic reviews
Growth adds branded review requests, authorized invitations and review monitoring to help you ask customers for honest feedback.
Evidence you can follow
Benchmark reports separate submitted corrections from independently verified repairs, with pending issues and next steps kept visible.
Keep your existing website. No website purchase is required. Choose Essential, Visibility or Growth for ongoing support, or request a separately quoted one-time repair. Website packages include a defined initial listing setup; an ongoing Local Boost subscription is a separate service.
