A Symson alternative for B2B distributors
Priced on the quote, not only the list
Every quote line gets its own price in about a second, for that customer and quantity.
Learned from won and lost quotes
B2B distributors rarely have retail-style demand curves. Elastly learns from the quotes you won and lost instead.
Writeback built in
Prices land on quote lines, price levels and store price lists directly, not through spreadsheets or an API project.
