Pricing Engine
Pricing Engine for cost build-up, margin control and quote output
Material cost in. MOQ checked. Margin rule applied. Quote out. PES keeps that price build-up explainable — so sales does not invent margin in chat.

Why this software exists
Margin disappears when every salesperson builds price differently
When price is rebuilt in personal workbooks, margin becomes a negotiation habit. PES exists so cost, MOQ and margin rules stay inside the quote before it goes out. PES exists for materials with MOQ, product BOM links, pricing rules by quantity ranges, direct/overhead costs, cost/price/margin calculation and multi-language/currency PDF quotes — offline.Typical control gaps
- The same item is priced differently depending on who calculates.
- MOQ and quantity-break rules are applied inconsistently.
- Direct and overhead costs are omitted or guessed.
- Managers cannot explain margin on a sent quote.
- PDF quotes are rebuilt manually from old templates.

Daily use
A commercial day where every quote can show how the price was built
PES walks teams through materials, BOM links, quantity rules and overhead allocation to cost, price and margin — then outputs a PDF quote in the chosen language and currency.Business results

Offline export of professional quotes for customer send.Compared with Excel
- Excel can compute a price; PES enforces MOQ, BOM links and quantity rules in a reusable process.
- Margin logic becomes visible instead of buried in personal workbooks.
- PDF quotes are generated from the same calculation — not copied from old files.
Why not stay in spreadsheets?
Why PES is better than spreadsheet pricing for margin discipline
Spreadsheets can compute a price once, but consistent margin rules, MOQ logic and PDF quotes need one pricing engine — not a personal file that changes with every copy.Implementation
Start with materials, BOM and the pricing rules you already trust
- Enter materials with MOQ and link products through BOM.
- Configure quantity-range rules and overhead allocation.
- Run first calculations and verify margin with finance.
- Issue PDF quotes; revisit rules when costs shift.
