Case study · Custom software
A quoting tool that thinks like the factory.
Lidasur Aluminios manufactures aluminum joinery and sells through a network of distributors. Its custom quoting tool, integrated into the company website, now absorbs work that used to occupy the internal team every day.
Context
Every order arrived by phone or email. Someone on the team took the details by hand and calculated the price in an internal spreadsheet with hundreds of variables: profiles, measurements, glass, accessories, finishes. The process depended on a few people and every quote was a chance for error.
The challenge
Let distributors quote on their own, with the factory's real logic, and have the order arrive ready for production. The critical point was modeling how the company actually quotes, not imposing a generic logic on it.
What we built
- In-depth discoveryBefore writing code, weeks spent understanding how a price is built at Lidasur: rules, exceptions and the cases only the team knew about.
- Quoting tool built into the websiteA tool for distributors that reproduces that logic step by step and delivers the price on the spot.
- Orders ready for productionEvery confirmed quote enters the internal workflow with all the data the factory needs, with no retyping.
- The same engine for the teamInternal staff quote on the same tool: faster and with fewer errors.
Outcome
A volume of orders that would once have required a dedicated person is now entered directly by distributors. And when the process changes, the system follows: that is the difference off-the-shelf software cannot offer.
