B2B SaaS Platform
Multi-tenant configure-price-quote system for industrial distributors
Sales dashboard with pipeline value, quote velocity, and activity feed
Product catalog with category filters and quote intelligence
33% of B2B orders contain pricing errors. Industrial distributors rely on spreadsheets for quoting—slow, error-prone, with no visibility into pipeline or approval status. Existing CPQ tools are enterprise-priced and require months of implementation.
Interviewed distributors and resellers about their quoting pain points. Analyzed existing CPQ market (Salesforce CPQ, DealHub, PandaDoc) and identified a gap: no affordable, self-service option for small-to-mid industrial distributors. Validated that core needs were pricing accuracy, approval speed, and pipeline visibility.

Concurrent session management with device fingerprinting for shared-login scenarios. Full REST API with webhooks.
