Combine product options, pricing, and service commitments into a viable business offer.
In furniture stores, a quote is more than just a list of products the customer has selected. Product configurations, quantities, color and material options, delivery addresses, assembly services, promotions, discounts, payment plans, and validity periods must be properly managed within the same document.
Minerva Offer Management combines product selections created in-store or during scheduled meetings with up-to-date product, price, stock, cost, and delivery data. Offers can be associated with customer, sales consultant, store, campaign, and appointment records; changes can be saved as new versions.

Manage revisions in a traceable way.
When a customer changes the product, quantity, fabric, or delivery terms, this should not overwrite the old offer. The date of each revision, the changed elements, the price impact, and the responsible employee should be traceable. This ensures that the final scope agreed upon with the customer is clearly preserved.
Verify the offer with an actual operation.
The delivery date, discount, or product option shown on the offer must be applicable at the time of sale. To avoid making false promises to the customer, the price, campaign, stock, and validity conditions should be re-checked when the offer is converted into an order.
Transform the bidding process from a free-form document prepared by a sales consultant into a corporate business process operating with product, price, margin, delivery, and approval rules.
