Estimating & Workflow

ESX file

The native estimate file format used by Xactimate, the estimating software common in property insurance work. An ESX file carries the line items, quantities, measurements, and unit prices of an estimate. ESXPress converts an insurance carrier's estimate PDF into an ESX file, keeping the price from the customer's PDF as the source of truth and flagging any product codes it cannot match.
