Pricing Accuracy
Insert excerpt
Error rates on manually prepared quotes often range from 20% up to 40% or more.
Error rates on larger buildings are higher due to more complex pricing rules and formulas.
Pricing for certified wind and snow loads adds an extra layer of complexity.
Salespeople and dealers often vary in how they price the same building.
Pricing documentation and data are not complete nor consistent.
Due to these issues, IdeaRoom cannot guarantee 100% accurate pricing. Achieving that goal would be too costly and distract from more important, achievable business objectives. IdeaRoom focuses on reducing carport design and pricing errors. This improves the customer’s purchasing experience and increases dealer sales capacity and efficiency. In this context, specific pricing issues are not typically significant. Achieving and maintaining high-quality pricing is a collaboration between the supplier, the dealers, and IdeaRoom, and we work with you to implement best practices for testing, validation, and maintenance.
Pricing Policy
Most suppliers have an official policy that pricing is subject to change without notice and pricing errors are the responsibility of the dealer and will be corrected before any order is finalized. When releasing IdeaRoom to your dealer network and the public, it’s important to communicate clearly how you plan to handle pricing discrepancies on an IdeaRoom-generated quote.
