Valkyn AIHome / Panel builder quotations
Quoting for panel builders, from enquiry to bill of materials to price
A panel enquiry turns into a bill of materials with breakers, busbars, enclosures and accessories, each priced from a supplier list that changes. Valkyn builds quotation systems around that work, so your engineers stop rebuilding the same spreadsheet for every panel.
Why panel quotations are slow
Quotation software for electrical panel builders turns a customer enquiry, single-line diagram or panel schedule into a priced bill of materials and a quotation. Panel quotes are slow for specific reasons: every panel is a different combination of breakers, busbars, enclosures, meters and accessories; component prices come from supplier price lists that change, sometimes with different discounts per brand; customers ask for revisions and alternatives; and the margin depends on labour and copper as much as on components. A quotation system for panel builders keeps the component catalogue and every supplier price list versioned, builds the bill of materials from your own templates, applies your discount authority so no one prices below their limit, and records which price list each quotation used, so a price change can be traced to the open quotes it affects.
What the system holds
Versioned price lists
Every supplier price list kept with its effective date, so you know which quotes a price change affects.
BOM templates
Your standard panel builds as templates, adjusted per enquiry rather than rebuilt.
Discount authority
Limits by person and brand, with approvals routed when a quote goes below them.
Revisions
Every revision of a quotation kept, with what changed and who changed it.
Where engineers stay in charge
Technical selection, substitutions and the final price stay with your engineers and sales managers. The system prepares the bill of materials and the quotation; a person approves it. Valkyn builds it on your price lists and templates at a fixed price, and you own the code.

Common questions
What is quotation software for panel builders?
A system that turns an enquiry or panel schedule into a priced bill of materials and quotation, using your component catalogue, supplier price lists and discount rules, for an engineer to approve.
Can it handle supplier price list changes?
Yes. Price lists are versioned with effective dates, and each quotation records which list it used, so open quotes affected by a change can be found.
Does it replace our ERP?
No. It connects to the ERP you run. Replacing the quoting part of Odoo or another system is an option when that part is the bottleneck.
