Oprela for manufacturers of retail equipment and store fit-outs
One estimate for the entire store: zones, items, shared batches of identical products, total costs, margin, versions, and approvals with price fixing. How a retail equipment manufacturer calculates and manages large projects.
Fitting out a store isn't just about one product; it's a whole project: dozens of types of shelving, counters, display cases, and shelves in different zones, often in hundreds of units. The client wants one price for the entire store, then changes the list several times. Every change in the table risks forgetting an item or counting the same shelf twice at different prices.
Estimate for the entire project
The Store Equipment Estimate in Oprela is a single document for the entire store:
- Zones — sales floor, checkout, warehouse, display window.
- Items in each zone with quantities. Each item is a product with its own specification and cost.
- Shared batches. Identical products from different zones are counted as one batch. Therefore, a shelf costs the same regardless of where it's placed, and setup costs are distributed across the entire quantity.
- Total costs — delivery, installation, design.
- Margin at the level of the entire estimate.
Versions and approvals
When the client makes changes, you create a new version instead of overwriting the old one. You can always see what has changed between versions. After approval, prices are fixed: subsequent material price increases won't change the approved estimate unnoticed by you, and recalculations are done consciously.
Scenarios
Compare options: cheaper material, different coating, different quantity. The client gets a reasoned choice, not just a single number.
From estimate to production
The approved estimate becomes a client proposal, and after acceptance, it turns into production orders. Then follow the usual steps: cutting, routing, workshop, quality control. For large series of identical products, shared cutting and planning are used.
