Pricing Tiers & Catalog Management

Q: Does this work with our existing storefront and accounting setup?

Yes, it is built to connect with common storefront platforms and accounting software already in use.

Q: How much manual involvement is still needed after setup?

A person still approves the initial rate change; the rest of the update and sync happens automatically.

Q: What happens if a mismatch is found between systems?

The mismatch is flagged for review rather than pushed live, so pricing stays consistent everywhere.

Q: Can this handle catalogs with many SKUs and tiers?

Yes, it is designed to scale across multiple SKUs and pricing tiers as a catalog grows.

Accurate pricing across every channel, without the manual spreadsheet juggling.

About This Automation

Pricing tiers and catalog updates require checking current rates, recalculating margins, and editing multiple systems by hand. This manual coordination is slow and prone to mismatches between storefront and accounting records.

An automated version recalculates tier pricing from a single change, pushes updates to sales channels at once, and rebuilds the customer catalog automatically. The result is consistent pricing everywhere with far less manual checking.

Key features:

Recalculates wholesale, retail, and VIP tier pricing from one logged change

Pushes updated prices to the storefront and accounting system simultaneously

Flags mismatches between live pricing sources before they reach customers

Notifies the sales team automatically once new pricing is confirmed

Rebuilds the customer-facing catalog document from approved pricing

Archives the previous price list version without manual filing

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Price Change Request Loggedtrigger

A new wholesale or retail price change request is entered, kicking off the pricing update workflow.

2. Calculate Tier Pricing

Price Sync recalculates wholesale, retail, and VIP tier prices based on the new cost and current margin rules.

3. Update Retail Price

The recalculated retail price is pushed directly to the matching product listing.

4. Update Pricing

SKU pricing is updated so invoices and sales orders reflect the new tier rates.

5. Check Catalog Consistency

Catalog Consistency compares live and prices for the SKU and flags any mismatch.

6. Resolve Pricing Mismatch

If a mismatch is found, an ops admin reviews and corrects the discrepancy manually before the catalog is refreshed.

7. Regenerate Catalog Document

Catalog Document rebuilds the customer-facing price catalog PDF using the confirmed, synced pricing and archives the prior version.

8. Notify Sales Team

A message alerts the sales team that new tier pricing is live and ready to quote.
