Quote Any Custom Door in Minutes, Not Hours
Your customers want answers fast. A slow or inaccurate quote doesn't just cost you the sale - it costs you the relationship. Seradex Configurable Product Quoting lets your team generate precise, fully-loaded quotes for any door specification: custom sizes, species, core construction, finish, hardware, and glazing - all priced automatically from your live BOM and margin rules. No spreadsheets. No back-and-forth with engineering. No errors.
ROI Snapshot - The Cost of Slow Quoting
Most door teams shrink quote cycles from several hours to under ten minutes once BOM-backed rules replace spreadsheets, see more quotes per rep without adding headcount (often in the 30%+ range), and run into fewer customer pricing disputes when margins are enforced in software rather than in email threads.
- Speed: multi-hour quoting becomes minutes with the same product complexity.
- Volume and accuracy: rule-driven pricing supports higher quote throughput with fewer exceptions.
- Margin hygiene: centralized pricing typically reduces dispute volume (many organizations report on the order of 25% fewer disputes).
Key Features Built for Door & Millwork Configurability
Multi-Level Product Configurator
Build quotes around your real door configurations - not generic catalog items. Define every option (species, construction, prep, certification) and let the system calculate the correct BOM, routing, and price automatically.
Automated Pricing Rules & Margin Controls
Pricing logic is centralized: material adders, finish surcharges, hardware upcharges, quantity breaks, and dealer-specific discounts are all calculated automatically. Every quote protects your margin without relying on the salesperson's spreadsheet.
Live BOM & Inventory Validation
Before a quote leaves your system, Seradex checks your live inventory and material availability. If a species or component is on backorder, your team knows before committing a delivery date to the customer.
Integration with Production Scheduling & Routing
Accepted quotes convert directly to work orders - complete with cut-list, BOM, and routing instructions for each work center. No re-entry. No transcription errors.
Professional Quote Documents
Generate branded, detailed quote packages that include door specifications, finish details, hardware schedules, pricing, and terms. Commercial buyers and architects expect this level of detail.
Multi-Project & Volume Quoting
Quote large commercial projects - entire building packages with dozens of door types - just as easily as a single residential unit. Seradex handles multi-line, multi-specification quotes in a single transaction.

Seamless Quote-to-Production Conversion
A multi-facility millwork operation connected their configurable quoting directly to production scheduling. Quotes converted to work orders instantly - with full BOM, cut-lists, and routing attached - eliminating the two-day lag between order acceptance and shop floor release.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions to help you better understand our solutions and processes.
Can the system handle our custom species and finish combinations?
Yes. Seradex allows you to define your full product matrix - species, core, finish, prep - with pricing rules specific to each combination.
What happens when a material we quote isn't in stock?
The system flags inventory shortfalls at quote time, allowing your team to offer alternatives or confirm extended lead times before promising a delivery date.
Can dealers generate their own quotes through a portal?
Yes. With the Seradex Dealer Portal, your partners can configure and request quotes within your pre-approved pricing rules - reducing inbound calls and accelerating the order cycle.
How does it handle large commercial packages with many door types?
Seradex supports multi-line quotes with different specifications per opening - ideal for commercial projects quoting entire floor plans or building packages.
Does the quote link directly to production?
Yes. When a quote is accepted and converted to a sales order, all BOM, routing, and scheduling data carries through - no re-entry required.
Expert Tips: Maximizing Quoting Efficiency
- Build your complete product matrix before go-live. The more complete your option rules, the faster and more accurate your quotes.
- Centralize discount authority. Define discount tiers by customer class and enforce them in the system - not in the rep's head.
- Connect quoting to inventory from day one. A quote based on unavailable material is a liability, not an asset.
- Train dealers on self-service quoting. Shifting routine quotes to the dealer portal frees your inside sales team for complex commercial packages.
- Review margin by quote type quarterly. Identify which configurations are systematically under-priced and correct the rules before they erode profitability.
