“Thanks to the SPARX Electrical Estimating Database, I am pricing projects with confidence and accuracy.

Brett Nash has taken great care in building a Database that is specific to my industry, and is robust, yet user friendly.

I would highly recommend the SPARX Database to others in the Electrical Contracting industries.”

Use your own supplier parts and pricing

SPARX can use suitable parts from your AroFlo inventory in its assemblies, with your supplier pricing applied where matches are available. This is called parts substitution.

After implementation, use the SPARX Update Template for subsequent supplier pricing imports. This preserves the unit-of-measure adjustments made during implementation.

How can SPARX help your business?

Business Owner?

Want a more consistent approach to estimating?
SPARX gives your business an established assembly library and labour fit times as a common starting point. Use your supplier pricing where suitable parts can be matched, then review the estimate against the requirements of each job.

New to Estimating?

Need a starting point for preparing electrical estimates?
Start with assemblies containing parts and labour fit times, rather than creating every assembly yourself. Your chosen package provides a foundation for the work you want to quote.
Would some guidance help?
An estimating consultation is included with each package. See the package details for the consultation time provided.

Experienced Estimator?

Want to save setup time?
Save over 900 hours creating categories and assemblies. Start with an established estimating library, then adjust the allowances to suit each job.
Want to check your rates are competitive and accurate?
Use SPARX as a second set of eyes to sanity-check your estimates, review labour allowances and spot parts you may have overlooked.

“SPARX has been a massive time saver for me when preparing quotes from small one-off tasks to complete tenders. The well-built, detailed Assemblies ensure all components of the task are covered to ensure you are profitable. The product is worth every penny and can help electrical businesses from small to large.”

FAQs

SPARX provides electrical assemblies containing parts and labour fit times, supplied as AroFlo Inventory Lists. Your chosen package determines which assemblies are included.
Yes, where suitable matches are available. During implementation, we assess your prepared AroFlo inventory export and match suitable supplier parts to SPARX assemblies. Your supplier pricing is used for the matched parts.
Not necessarily. Matching depends on your suppliers and the information available in your inventory export. We assess the export to identify suitable matches.
To use your supplier parts and pricing, first prepare and import your supplier pricing using the SPARX Import Template. Our implementation guide explains the required file format and steps.
SPARX assesses your inventory export, matches suitable supplier parts and applies the necessary unit-of-measure adjustments.

We then generate your SPARX Pricebook and Inventory Lists files and send them to AroFlo Support for importing into your account.

We share the support ticket with you so you can follow up with AroFlo Support.
We currently support suppliers within the MMEM, CNW, L&H, Rexel and Middys groups, along with TradeZone and Voltex.

If your supplier isn’t listed, get in touch before ordering so we can confirm what’s possible.
Supplier parts and prices can be expressed in different units. During implementation, we apply the adjustments needed to express relevant parts and their prices consistently, such as per each or per metre.

These adjustments help ensure the correct material quantities and costs are used in your estimates.
SPARX labour fit times have been developed from decades of practical industry and estimating experience. All Fit times can be adjusted.
SPARX offers packages for Service, Domestic, Commercial and Industrial work.
