Website Quoting for Configurable Products

The problem

Most manufacturer websites explain the product, collect contact details and ask the buyer to wait. The dealer then starts the product conversation from the beginning.

What comes back through the form is a name, an email and a sentence.

Requirements and selected configuration

rep or dealer follows up

This is website quoting, not online checkout. The buyer receives a quote, and your team receives a lead with the requested configuration.

How it works

Needs analysis

The visitor describes the job in plain language, and Needs Analysis narrows it to one configuration.

Configure

Your rules apply, so what they build is something you can actually make.

Price

Your pricing logic runs, and the visitor sees a real number at the level you allow.

Quote

The quote is issued and routed to the dealer covering that territory, with the configuration attached.

What changes

Before A form submission that says "interested in commercial doors."

After A lead with the model, handing, glazing package and price.

Before The dealer starts with basic discovery.

After The dealer starts with the buyer's completed configuration.

Before Website demand is hard to measure.

After Each configuration adds product-level demand data.
