QuoteDesk — Fast Quotation & Pricing Desk
Turn hours of manual quotation work into governed, human-approved workflows — pilot target: minutes per quote.
Scoped engagement with a documented delivery path
Overview
Turn an everyday problem into a clear workflow
Sales teams lose deals while waiting for quotations: pricing lookups across price lists, discounts, stock and currency checks, then re-typing into documents — every quote a small project.
Teams this is designed for
Sales directors and commercial managers in distribution, manufacturing and B2B services.
What it includes
Draft quotations from your price lists, stock and customer history
Discount and margin guardrails with human approval before sending
Persian and English quotation documents from one source
Full audit trail of who approved what
The intended outcome
Pilot target: quotation turnaround cut from hours toward minutes, with pricing discipline and a documented approval trail — measured against your baseline during the pilot.
Workflow
How would this work in practice?
An illustrative situation
This scenario explains a possible workflow; it is not a customer case study.
The starting point
A distributor receives an inquiry for several items.
The proposed workflow
The draft combines approved prices, availability and discount rules; a salesperson checks exceptions.
An output to examine
The team issues a traceable quote after approval.
Before (illustrative workflow)
- Request arrives by phone or message
- Salesperson searches price lists and stock
- Manager checks discount by chat
- Document re-typed in Word/Excel
- Sent hours later — sometimes after the customer bought elsewhere
After (illustrative workflow)
- Request captured once, structured
- Draft quote assembled automatically from governed sources
- Human reviews and approves in one screen
- Branded quotation issued in minutes; every step logged
The engagement path
Understand the workflow
Review the current process, representative data, constraints and the people responsible for decisions.
Run a bounded pilot
Test one agreed workflow with real examples, human review and success measures tied to your current baseline.
Review before expanding
Decide the next step from observed results. Any production rollout, training and ongoing support are specified in the agreed proposal.
Inputs & deliverables
What do we start with, and what do you receive?
Inputs we discuss
- Current price lists and stock snapshots
- Discount authority and quotation templates
- A sample of past quotations
Price lists, discount rules, stock data (file or API), customer history, quotation template.
Proposed deliverables
- A reviewed quotation draft and approval route
- Price-source and revision history
- Team handover and operating guide
Discovery workshop, configured pilot on your real quotations, deployment with approval workflow, training and support.
Scope and responsibilities
Prices, promises and outbound messages remain subject to your approved rules and human authority. Channel access is verified before any integration is proposed.
Success measures
How will we evaluate the result?
- Time from inquiry to approved draft
- Pricing corrections before and after approval
Your team agrees the baseline, target and measurement method before implementation. Results depend on data quality and the operating context.
Questions
Common questions
Does it send quotes automatically?
No. Every quotation is approved by a human before it reaches a customer — that is a design principle, not a limitation.
Does it replace our ERP?
No. QuoteDesk works alongside your existing systems, reading governed data and producing documents your process already uses.
What should we share to start?
A short description of the process, a few representative examples and the decision owner are enough for the first conversation. Do not send confidential files through the public request form.
Is this ready-to-buy software?
This is an implementation engagement with a documented delivery approach. Configuration, integration, price and timing depend on your data, systems and agreed scope.
Do we need to replace our current systems?
Not automatically. We first examine the existing tools and access methods. Keeping, connecting or replacing a component is an explicit scope decision.
