Connecting custom quoting, approvals, dealer workflows, and production tracking.
What this business needed to solve.
Custom manufacturing businesses need systems capable of handling unique products, complex pricing, approvals, dealer relationships, and production workflows.
Before: The problems slowing the business down.
Custom product pricing required tribal knowledge and one-off spreadsheets for every quote.
Dealer partners had no consistent way to request quotes or track progress.
Design and customer approvals lived in email threads, slowing every project.
Once an order moved into production, visibility into status was limited for staff and customers.
From disconnected processes to one connected workflow.
- Pricing logic stored in spreadsheets and heads
- Manual dealer quoting over email
- Approvals lost in email threads
- Limited visibility into production
- Inconsistent process across projects
- Structured pricing rules inside the system
- Clear dealer quoting and approval workflow
- Approvals tracked inside each order
- Production status visible to the team
- Repeatable process across every order
