Tech Retail

Tech Retail is a local estimation workbench for fixed-premises telephony and communications equipment planning. It helps you build an indicative numeric picture from adjustable parameters, so you can size what you may need before layout or buying decisions. Features Premises profile (Step 1) - Choose the premises type and enter staffed desk, counter, reception, and separated-area counts. - Get a live mini-summary while you build your premises inputs. Usage pattern (Step 2) - Set call intensity (low, medium, high) to reflect how busy the site is expected to be. - Add roaming staff needing cordless coverage, shared-area phones, and legacy analogue devices to retain. Coverage and infrastructure (Step 3) - Model infrastructure posture using average cable run band, existing cabling reuse level, and a growth allowance. - Select a resilience posture (basic, balanced, headroom) and see how it affects the estimated outputs. - Includes an image-led infrastructure view with patching and cabling context to support planning. Cost posture and transparent assumptions (Step 4) - Plan with a lean, standard, or robust planning posture. - Use an optional advanced local assumption editor for unit-cost bands stored only on your device. - Reset assumptions to defaults if you want to re-run the numeric picture. Results with charts, table, and range views - View indicative planning-only headline metrics: - live endpoints - estimated call channels - powered ports - cable range (metres) - indicative hardware budget band - Mandatory allocation donut to show the split across desk handsets, cordless, shared-area phones, and legacy. - Mandatory projection table with computed quantities and planning basis. - Range comparison bars derived from your selected posture and model inputs. - Results are labelled as indicative, local, assumption-based, non-binding, and for planning only. Local saved estimates, variants, and export - Save estimates locally on your device and reopen them later. - Duplicate an estimate to explore variants, and use Variant Compare to view up to three saved variants side-by-side. - Copy a summary and export locally for sharing or internal notes. Indicative planning estimate only Results are locally computed indicative planning outputs based on your assumptions. They are non-binding and for planning only, not a quotation, survey, or availability check. Designed for premises telephony planning on your own device, including office and customer-facing sites that need a transparent numeric picture before making buying or layout decisions.
