  • Data-Driven Estimations: Utilizing comprehensive data to provide accurate cost estimates.
  • Seller Autonomy: The system offers flexibility for sellers to modify or accept generated estimations.
  • Optimized Processing: Streamlining the negotiation rounds for efficiency.

  • Dynamic Seller Interaction: This system allows for real-time modifications, keeping the competitive environment agile.
