For HVAC equipment manufacturers and their reps

Find the line in the spec that costs you the job.

Equipment gets quoted off documents nobody has time to read end to end. Viewport reads them: it pulls the equipment schedules straight into your selection tool, and puts every spec exception on top — with the clause it came from.

The problem

A bid is only as good as what someone actually read.

Custom equipment is sold against documents written for engineers and lawyers, not for the person quoting the job. So schedules get retyped by hand, a 90-page spec gets skimmed, and the requirement that matters sits in paragraph 2.9.B on page 61. Nobody finds it until the submittal comes back rejected, or the job goes to someone else.

  1. 01

    Retyped by hand.

    Every unit on every schedule, keyed into the selection tool one field at a time.

  2. 02

    Too long to read every time.

    Hundreds of requirements per section. Most comply. The few that don’t are the ones that cost money.

  3. 03

    Found too late.

    A missed requirement shows up as a rejected submittal, a change order, or a unit rebuilt on your dime.

Two tools, one bid

Quote it fast. Quote it right.

Viewport Select

In production

Schedules into your selection tool, without the retyping.

Drop in a plan set. Select finds the equipment schedules and returns every unit as structured data — tag, airflow, static pressure, capacity, motor and electrical — ready to prepopulate the selection software your engineers already use.

  • Works inside your existing selection tool
  • You choose which schedules matter
  • Prepopulates; your engineer stays in control

Built for manufacturers with a selection tool.

Viewport Spec Check

Early access

Every spec exception, before you price the job.

Drop in the project spec and your equipment spec. Spec Check pulls out the testable requirements, sets aside the boilerplate, and evaluates each one: complies, deviates but meets intent, or needs a formal exception. Exceptions come first. Every line cites the clause it came from.

  • Exceptions on top, not buried in 250 lines
  • A citation on every line
  • Built for the bid / no-bid call

Built for rep firms and application engineering.

Why engineers trust it

Every answer shows its work.

  1. Cited to the clause.

    Every requirement points to the section and paragraph it came from. Check any line in seconds.

  2. Nothing quietly dropped.

    If something couldn’t be evaluated, it’s flagged, not hidden. You see exactly what still needs a person.

  3. Your engineers make the call.

    Viewport does the reading. Your people decide what to bid, and how.

Who it’s for

For manufacturers.

Application engineering and selection-tool owners at manufacturers of engineered-to-order equipment: custom air handlers, fan walls, computer-room units. Faster quotes from the team you already have, and a concrete answer when leadership asks what your AI plan is.

For rep firms.

Independent reps who quote engineered equipment and live with the consequences. Know what’s in the spec before you price the job, and decide fast whether to bid at all.

Who’s behind it

Built from inside the industry.

Viewport was founded by a mechanical engineer who spent a decade in commercial HVAC: application engineering, sales and product management for engineered equipment. Every feature started as a job that went sideways, not a line on a software roadmap.
