Quotations are prepared by opening the last similar one and editing it. Pricing logic lives in a senior person's head, so nobody else can quote without asking. Preparation takes hours, errors slip through, and follow-up is inconsistent — all while the customer is comparing you against vendors who replied the same day.
What this solution does
This solution encodes your pricing rules into a system so anyone authorised can produce an accurate, properly formatted quotation in minutes. Approval sits where you want it, the document goes out in your format, and follow-up runs until the customer decides.
How it works
Pricing rules captured
Your rate structure — item rates, slabs, customer categories, discount authority, taxes, freight and terms — is documented and encoded as rules.
Requirement entered
A salesperson selects the customer and items, or enters specifications for configured products. The system applies the correct rates automatically.
Approval where needed
Quotations within normal discount limits go straight out; anything beyond routes to the right approver with the margin impact shown.
Document generated and sent
A professional PDF in your format, with annexures and terms, delivered over email and WhatsApp with read tracking.
Follow-up and conversion
Reminders run on schedule until the customer responds; on acceptance the quotation converts to an order without re-entry.
The difference it makes
What changes once this is in place
Quote while the enquiry is warm
Minutes instead of hours means you are often the first credible quotation the buyer receives, which matters more than price in many deals.
Pricing discipline
Rules and approval limits prevent the margin erosion that happens when discounting is informal.
Anyone can quote accurately
Pricing knowledge moves from one person's head into the system, which removes a bottleneck and a business risk.
Win rates become visible
Quotation outcome tracking shows which pricing and which customers actually convert.
What's included
- Pricing rule engine: rate lists, slabs, customer categories, discount authority
- Quotation builder with item selection and specification-based configuration
- Automatic tax, freight and terms application
- Approval workflow with margin visibility for the approver
- Branded multi-page PDF with annexures and standard terms
- Version history so revisions are tracked rather than overwritten
- Delivery over email and WhatsApp with read tracking
- Follow-up reminder sequences with reply detection
- Conversion to sales order on acceptance
- Reporting: quotation value, win rate, average discount, turnaround time
This is a good fit if
- You issue quotations regularly and each one takes significant preparation
- Pricing involves rate lists, slabs, customer categories or configuration
- Only one or two people currently know how to price correctly
- Quotation follow-up is inconsistent and outcomes are not tracked
Limitations you should know about
Every solution has constraints. We would rather you read them here than discover them after signing.
- Your pricing rules must be articulable; where pricing is genuinely intuitive and case-by-case, the system can only assist rather than automate
- Highly engineered products may still need technical review before a quotation is released, and we build that step in rather than around
- Rate structures need an owner to keep them current, otherwise the system quotes yesterday's prices accurately
Technology we typically use
- Next.js
- PostgreSQL
- FastAPI
- PDF generation
- WhatsApp Business API
- Resend
