Every quote configured, priced, sourced and approved by rule.
A configure, price, quote and sourcing engine for servers, storage and networking, with five audiences on one codebase: customer, sales desk, management, engineering, sourcing. A workload or part list goes in; a compatibility check of 100+ rules, market-verified cost, margin floor and approval routing produce a sealed proposal, and a worker sources the parts.
