Decisions before delivery
Design around how your sales team quotes.
Good implementation follows clear business, content and ownership decisions.
Quote or checkout?
Use quotations when price, specification or availability needs confirmation. Use checkout only when purchase terms can be made clear upfront.
Capture useful detail
Decide which quantities, units, technical requirements and attachments the sales team needs before preparing a quote.
Plan catalogue ownership
Agree how products, photos and specifications are maintained, and whether an ERP or another system holds the source records.

Before we begin
What to settle before a supplier website.
Specific answers follow discovery, but these principles guide the recommendation.
Can customers request several products in one quote?
Yes. MJ Trader demonstrates a quote-list journey that groups product requirements and quantities into one enquiry.
Do we need to publish prices?
Only when those prices are valid for the public buying journey. A quotation-led site can ask staff to confirm price and availability before a sale.
Can staff update the catalogue?
Yes, if catalogue administration is included in the scope. We agree editable fields, product-image requirements and staff access during discovery.
Can a supplier website connect to an ERP?
We can scope that connection after confirming the existing system, data ownership and API access. The public website and private business system can also remain separate when that suits the workflow.
