Customer Experience
Instead of proceeding to checkout from the Cart page, your customer requests a quote on their cart items by clicking the Request Quote button. They will receive a 'Quote Confirmation' email and your nominated admin staff member(s) will receive a 'Quote Submitted' email.
As with the Standard mode, a quotation request is loaded into your ERP, e.g., PRONTO, with the quotation status: '02'. In the ERP, your Sales Rep and Customer Service team can easily identify the items on the quote, check cost (and margin), etc. After any price adjustments, the team converts the quotation to a Sales Order directly in your ERP. This is re-integrated online.
Quote notification emails
After a quote has been submitted, your admin staff will receive a 'Quote Submitted' email. The customer will receive the 'Quote Confirmation' email.

Include Approvals
The Standard and Approved mode is automatically integrated with the Approvals feature on your website. If Approvals is active for the customer and the total for a quote will exceed the user's budget, approval is needed when the quote is converted to an order.
