NOTE - The new Bundle and Product Group feature is more powerful than price parts, with abilities like more accurate takeoffs, more accessible profit estimates, and reusable options.

Price Parts are a way to use ArcSite to capture any advanced pricing options within the base price or to capture all the component costs of a product.

You can add any number of Price Parts together and the total cost of your product is calculated by the sum of the Parts.

You can combine multiple parts if the total cost of your product consists of multiple sub-products or services, and the price of each of the sub-items is defined and/or calculated separately. Some examples might be:

If any of those examples relate to your product, you’ll need to create a Price Part section for each part within that Product.

For a given Price Part, you may want to provide different options to your customers,. In this case, you will need to add multiple Price Part Options under that single Price Part.

In this scenario, the end-user would only be able to select only one of the options.

An example here could be that for a specific piece of equipment, the client could choose from a number of different motors. For example a good, better, best type option.

In this case, you could create a single price part called Motor Type and have a series of options to pick from.

Motor Type

For each product or Price Part, you can use simple price calculations, or go into more detail with advanced pricing options. Our advanced pricing options include tiered pricing, minimum pricing, custom quantities, and quantity modifiers.

Tiered – For products that have different costs based on the amount added.

Minimum – For products that need a base minimum cost until a certain range/amount

There may be times when you need to alter the quantity that a Product uses to be priced. Examples of this include needing to charge a product by hours or days, or pricing a Shape-based product by the linear foot.

These situations utilize a feature called Custom Quantities.

When adding Pricing in ArcSite there are several advanced pricing options to further customize how you'd like your pricing to calculate. ArcSite can accommodate tiered pricing structures and minimum pricing.

You can use Tiered pricing when depending on the price of the product depends on the quantity of the product.

There are two types of Tiered Pricing available.

In this mode, you have prices that match certain quantity ranges (length, areas). Whatever range the total amount falls into, determines the cost charged for the amount.

An example might be a linear-based service that cost

Then

In this mode, each of the quantity ranges gets charged at their indicated price, and then they are added together, using the same example from above.

Then

You can set a minimum cost for either a single line item or for an entire project. The minimum cost will apply until exceeded, at which point your other pre-defined pricing will come into effect.
