Custom Dealer Pricing, Quotation and Distribution Workflows

Give different dealers the right prices, product access and quotation workflow without relying on disconnected spreadsheets and manual follow-ups.

  • Manage dealer-specific visibility and pricing
  • Turn product selection into an estimate or quotation
  • Connect approvals, contracts and invoices as requirements evolve

Common operational challenges

Where distribution workflows become difficult

When price lists differ by partner and the quotation process spans multiple tools, the team loses visibility into which rules apply.

01Dealer-specific price rules

The same product has different prices for different partners

Distributor and franchise channels often need account-specific cost factors, margins and product access. A single public price does not reflect the actual sales process.

HOW WE APPROACH IT

Build a role-aware cost matrix with dealer-specific visibility and pricing calculations, including clear administrative controls.

  • Dealer-specific cost and selling-price rules
  • Role and product visibility management
  • Pricing consistency during quotation creation

02Estimates and order handoffs

Quotes, contracts and invoices become disconnected

When estimates are prepared separately from contracts and payments, teams spend time reconciling versions, approvals and outstanding actions.

HOW WE APPROACH IT

Link estimates to a controlled quotation-to-contract workflow; commission invoicing, payments and reminders only as part of agreed scope.

  • Estimate and quotation records
  • Approval and contract workflow design
  • Potential invoice and payment integration

Common questions

Questions from distribution teams

Can each dealer see different product prices?

Yes. A role-based portal can apply pricing tiers, discounts, markups or cost matrices to different dealer accounts.

Can dealers create quotations using configured products?

A portal can turn selected products and measured quantities into estimates, with documented approvals and revisions.

Can this integrate with our existing accounting system?

Integration depends on the accounting platform’s API, access permissions and the particular data that must be synchronized.
