Estimate Faster. Engineer Smarter. Submit Better Security Tenders
SecurityEdge Studio combines structured estimating, tender management, engineering calculations, project pricing, reporting and proposal generation in one professional online SaaS platform — purpose-built for electronic security contractors.
THE CHALLENGE
From Tender Overload to Tender Control
Electronic security tenders can involve hundreds of equipment lines, multiple system types, changing supplier pricing, labour calculations, exclusions, clarifications, and client documentation. When that work is spread across spreadsheets, documents, and separate files, teams lose time, pricing drifts, and visibility across the tender pipeline disappears.
The Spreadsheet Way
✕ Disconnected workbooks and fragile macros
✕ Re-keying between estimate, report and proposal
✕ Version confusion when deadlines hit
✕ Pricing quietly drifts out of date
✕ Hours lost to manual document formatting
✕ Little visibility across the tender pipeline
The SecurityEdge Way
✓ Structured, guided inputs for every discipline
✓ One calculation path from system design to proposal
✓ One live online tender workspace
✓ Catalogue-backed pricing across tenders
✓ Branded documents generated on demand
✓ Tender portfolio and status visibility at a glance
Create a $250K Tender Response in Under 15 Minutes — Complete with Comprehensive Proposal Documentation
In under 15 minutes, SecurityEdge Studio can turn a complex tender into a comprehensive, professionally structured response. This $243,099.00
example generated a 12-page client proposal, 7-page Tender Management Report, and dedicated EACS Power & Battery Technical Report, covering 25 access-controlled doors and 71 I/O points. What would traditionally take hours—or a full day—can now be engineered, commercially reviewed, and presented in a fraction of the time.
In this live demonstration (12 min), I build a Gallagher EACS tender covering:
25 access-controlled doors
71 I/O points
Automated EACS headend design
Equipment and BOM calculations
Engineering and commercial checks
Tender risk analysis
Professional client-ready tender documentation
THE PLATFORM
One Platform for Estimating & Tender Control
From first enquiry to issued proposal, SecurityEdge Studio keeps tender data, engineering calculations, pricing, reports and proposals connected in one online platform.
Tender Responses & Status
Manage tenders, status, ownership, and reporting from one workspace.
Tender Overview & BOM
Review cost, sell, margin, labour, and the complete BOM.
Multi-Discipline Design
EACS, CCTV, Intercom, Class 5, Salto Wireless, travel, and customised items.
Proposal Builder → Word
Generate professional client-ready Word proposals.
Catalogue-Backed Pricing

One controlled calculation engine
The same inputs produce the same numbers across the tender, BOM, management report, and client proposal — keeping your estimating logic consistent and controlled.
THE WORKFLOW
A Smarter Tender Workflow — Start to Submission
Every stage feeds the next. Tender inputs become a costed BOM, the Tender Overview becomes a management report, and the same controlled data becomes a professional client proposal.
1. Create or select a tender
Project name, client, dates, category, and tender ownership.
2. Build the system design
EACS, CCTV, Intercom, Class 5, Salto, travel, and custom items.
3. Use catalogue-backed pricing
Apply consistent company and custom catalogue pricing.
4. Adjust project-specific pricing
Apply unit-cost overrides where project pricing applies.
5. Review the Tender Overview
Review BOM, package totals, margin, GST, and project totals.
6. Generate the management report
Create a PDF for commercial review and tender governance.
