Custom supplier-selection and quotation engine
Engineering challenge
A made-to-order box did not have a static price. The system had to turn dimensions, corrugation type, quality, quantity, location, and postcode into an offer based on materials, price bands, and the available suppliers.
Delivered solution
We developed a Magento Commerce module that managed suppliers, materials, and prices organised by quantity band. The engine evaluated the parameters entered in the PWA, selected the best available supplier offer, applied the commercial margin, and calculated freight for the specified destination.
Operational value
The PWA could immediately present product and freight pricing for a specific configuration. The customer could then turn the quotation into an order without waiting for a separate manual quotation.
