Spec-book-anchored matching
Manufacturer part numbers from the spec book are the single source of truth. When part-number-level matching is possible, confidence is near-certain — not guessed from descriptions.
00 — INTRODUCING
Quote lighting projects in minutes. Not hours.
Upload your fixture schedule, spec book, and vendor quotes. JohnnyAI matches fixtures to pricing and hands you a structured Excel quote in minutes — not hours.

01 — THE PROBLEM
Every lighting quote is a small archaeology project.
Distributors, reps, and estimators pull information from four or five different documents to build a single quote. Each one in a different format. Each one prone to typos. Each one needing a second pass before the customer sees it.
Then the schedule revises. Or a vendor sends new pricing. Or the customer asks for an alternate manufacturer. And the whole thing starts over.
- ↳ Reading fixture schedules and entering line items by hand
- ↳ Cross-referencing spec books for manufacturer part numbers
- ↳ Hunting through vendor quotes for matching SKUs
- ↳ Reconciling EC counts against the schedule
- ↳ Building the final quote in Excel from scratch
- ↳ Catching your own data entry errors before the customer does
02 — HOW IT WORKS
Five steps. One quote.
-
01
Upload
Drop in the fixture schedule, EC counts, spec book, and any vendor quotes you've collected. Excel, PDF, CSV — whatever the lighting designer or rep sent.
Lighting_Schedule.pdf · USAI_Quote.xlsx · Specbook.pdf -
02
Extract
JohnnyAI reads every document — including scanned PDFs and prose-style vendor quotes — and converts them into structured records. Fixture types, descriptions, manufacturers, part numbers, prices.
-
03
Match
The spec book anchors each schedule fixture to a manufacturer and part number. Vendor quotes are matched against that identity — so "A1" in the schedule connects to "BVL2-2700-25-W" in the USAI quote with confidence, not guesswork.
-
04
Review
Confirm matches in a clean workspace. Compare vendor pricing side by side. Override anything. Set markup at the company, project, vendor, or line level.
-
05
Export
Generate a structured Excel quote with your branding, terms, and standard layout. Send it to the customer. Revise it later if you need to.
03 — CAPABILITIES
Built around the way your team already works.
Multi-vendor comparison
Upload as many vendor quotes as you have. JohnnyAI surfaces every option per fixture with its price, lead time, and confidence — so you can pick the right vendor for each line, not the easiest match.
Configurable markup
Set markup at the company, project, manufacturer, or line level. The Final Review screen surfaces the effective rate for every line and lets you bulk-adjust before export.
Master vendor catalog
Every quote you upload enriches your private catalog of manufacturers, products, and pricing history. Your data, your relationships — never shared across companies.
Quote versioning
Every export is a versioned snapshot. Revise without losing the original. When the customer asks "what changed since v1?", you can show them.
Your branding, your format
Company logo, address, terms and conditions — every quote leaves the platform looking like it came from your office. Because it did.
04 — PRICING
Pay for what you actually quote.

Common questions.
What file formats do you support?

Do you store our vendor pricing?
Yes, but only inside your private catalog. Never shared across companies.

06 — TESTIMONIALS
From the people doing the work.
“We cut quote turnaround from a full afternoon to about 12 minutes.”
“The spec book matching alone is worth it. We stopped chasing part numbers.”
“Finally, a tool built by someone who knows what a fixture schedule actually looks like.”
07 — BUILT FOR
Lighting distributors, reps, and electrical estimators.
JohnnyAI works with the documents you already have. Schedules from the lighting designer. Spec books from the project drawing set. Quotes from manufacturers you've worked with for years. No new file formats. No process changes. Just the time-consuming part of quoting, handled.
08 — ABOUT
A team that knows the lighting workflow.
JohnnyAI Labs was founded in 2025 to take the most time-consuming part of the lighting industry — quoting — and rebuild it around the documents distributors and reps already work with every day.
We start with lighting because lighting quotes carry the most punishing combination of cross-document reconciliation, vendor variability, and revision pressure of any specialty trade. Get this right, and the rest of the project workflow — submittals, controls, change orders — gets faster too.
The long-term vision is a project automation platform built specifically for the way the lighting and electrical trades actually work. Quoting is the first step.
