Managing Prices

Keeping your prices current on HyperQuote directly affects how often your products are included in customer quotes and how quickly orders close. The pricing management system is designed for the reality of building material markets — where prices can change daily and bulk updates are the norm.

Your prices are managed through the supplier portal with full version history. Every price change is logged with a timestamp, the previous value, and who made the change. This audit trail protects both you and HyperQuote when questions arise about agreed pricing.

You can view your complete price list filtered by product category, update date, or price change status. Each product shows the current price, the date it was last updated, and a freshness indicator that the HyperQuote procurement team uses to assess reliability.

Individual prices can be updated directly in the portal. Select a product, enter the new price, and confirm. For trusted suppliers, price changes take effect immediately. For newer suppliers, price changes may require a brief approval step.

When you update a price, the system automatically flags any active quotes that reference that product. The HyperQuote team is notified so they can assess whether outstanding quotes need revision.

For large catalogs, individual updates are impractical. The portal supports three bulk update methods:

• CSV upload — Download your current price list as a CSV template, update prices in a spreadsheet, and re-upload. The system shows a preview diff of all changes before you confirm.
• Percentage adjustment — Apply a flat percentage increase or decrease across your entire catalog or a specific category. Useful for across-the-board cost adjustments.
• New price list upload — Upload a fresh catalog document (PDF, Excel, CSV) and let the AI detect price changes against your existing products. You review the detected changes before confirming.

All bulk operations show a preview before applying, so you can verify the changes are correct.

Building materials pricing often varies by quantity. The portal supports tier-based pricing where you set different unit prices at different quantity breakpoints. For example: EGP 48/bag for 1-499 bags, EGP 45/bag for 500-999, EGP 42/bag for 1,000+.

Tier pricing feeds directly into the quoting engine. When a customer requests 800 bags of cement, the system automatically applies your tier-appropriate pricing.

If your pricing varies by delivery region — common for heavy materials where freight cost differs significantly — you can maintain region-tagged price lists. Each price list is associated with a geographic zone, and the system matches customer delivery addresses to the appropriate regional pricing.

The HyperQuote system tracks how recently you updated each price. Products with fresh prices (updated within 24 hours) are quoted to customers instantly — the sales team can build a quote in real time. Products with aging prices (1-3 days old) require a quick confirmation before quoting. Products with stale prices (over 3 days) drop out of instant quoting entirely and require full procurement involvement.

Suppliers who maintain consistently fresh pricing data see higher quote inclusion rates, better win rates, and priority treatment during sourcing.
