Point search for OE / AM codes in your management software
General overview
By integrating your management software with Quoting24, you can return customized prices and availability in real time for the specific customer you are writing to when searching for codes.
This lets you quickly retrieve the customer's specific commercial conditions.
The goal is to allow Quoting24, once a product code has been identified, to automatically retrieve:
- Availability and net price for the specific customer
- Product metadata: descriptive information, brand, any active promotions and other related attributes.
- The flow is designed to interface transparently with the ERP APIs of the Supplier's management system.
Search parameters
From Quoting24 to the Supplier

Search code
Preferably an AM or OE code.
The search should not be limited only to exact product codes, but should also: - Search for alternative codes
