QuoteWerks Real-time Pricing & Availability

The QuoteWerks real-time pricing and availability feature retrieves the current pricing and warehouse availability of products from your distributors. With access to this real-time up-to-date information you no longer have to import massive distributor product files containing over 500,000 products every day to have this current information. The real-time pricing and availability information QuoteWerks retrieves from the distributors is based on your customer account, so the pricing that is returned is specific to you and the same pricing you would see when logged in on the distributor's website. The real-time pricing and availability requires a list of part numbers which can come from a database or from our Product Content Subscription.

Overview

It is very important to these companies to have access to real-time pricing and availability information so that they have all the tools they need to get product to their customer fast and as low priced as possible. Having access to real-time pricing gives the company the ability to deliver last minute price savings to their customer. Having access to real-time availability gives the company the ability to know if the product will ship today, or if it will be backordered.  Since a backordered product cannot be shipped to a customer, knowing that a product is backordered before placing an order will give you the tools you need to make a good purchasing decision.

The Real-time Module can also provide Real-time Product Content and search online merchants.

A real-time module using our DataOnDemand^TM  technology is available for QuoteWerks that delivers Accutech Data, ASI, Arbitech, Bell Micro, BlueStar, Comstor, D&H, Dexxxon Digital Storage, Digitek, EET Nordic, Ingram Micro, Jenne, Northamber, Printer Essentials, ScanSource, Supercom, Supplies Network, TD SYNNEX, Westcoast, and Westcon Group real-time pricing and availability to QuoteWerks users (For details on the D&H, Ingram Micro, and TD SYNNEX real-time offerings and how to get setup to use their services click here).

Real-time Licensing

The real-time module licensing and pricing is based on the "reserved concurrency" model. Whenever a user on the network uses the real-time module, a license is reserved for that user and is not released until the user exits QuoteWerks.  The number of real-time licenses does not need to match the total number of QuoteWerks licenses. So, for example, in a 2-user installation of QuoteWerks with a single Real-time license, if user 1 logs into QuoteWerks and uses the Real-time pricing first, user 2 will not be able to use Real-time pricing until user 1 logs out of QuoteWerks.
