VULPINE LLC BID ENGINE GUIDE

How to use the cabinet pricing tool.

This is the quick operating guide for price lookup, cabinet bids, and customer-ready PDF quotes. Use this app as the working source, because it is built from the Multi-Family Master Sheet logic.

01

Use Product Sheets for lookup

Open Product Sheets when you only need to search cabinet SKUs, descriptions, framed items, frameless items, or finish pricing from the master catalog.

02

Use Dashboard for actual bids

Open Dashboard when you need a real quote. Pick construction type, pick finish, paste SKU quantities, adjust operational costs, and review the grand total.

03

Print Customer PDF for customers

Use the Print Customer PDF button after the bid is reviewed. Choose Print or Save as PDF in the browser dialog. This customer document hides internal margin, factor, master list, and control numbers.

What the numbers mean

Price Margin

Internal pricing lever used in the master formula. It affects cabinet sell price. Keep it at the approved bid margin unless told otherwise.

Discount

Reduces the cabinet subtotal. It does not reduce build, hardware, shipping, or install line items.

Build $/Box

Assembly/build charge multiplied by the total cabinet box count.

Handle $

Hardware charge multiplied by the handle count from the master catalog.

Ship $/Unit

Delivery/shipping charge multiplied by Unit Quantity.

Install $/Box

Installation charge multiplied by total cabinet boxes when Include install is turned on.

Rules before sending anything

  • Do not quote from the old PDF brochure. Use the HTML Product Sheets or Dashboard.
  • Do not send customers screenshots of the Dashboard. It contains internal pricing controls.
  • Do not ignore missing SKU warnings. If a line says missing, fix the SKU or construction type before sending a quote.
  • Do not change margin, discount, shipping, build, hardware, or install values unless the bid owner told you to.
  • Do not mix framed and frameless SKUs in one quote unless the project manager approves it.

Customer PDF process

  1. Finish the quote in Dashboard.
  2. Enter the customer name and project name if the proposal needs them.
  3. Confirm the Vulpine phone and email are correct: 480-364-8205 and sales@vulpinehomes.com.
  4. Click Print Customer PDF in the Grand Total Bid box.
  5. In the browser print dialog, choose Save as PDF if you need a file.
  6. Review the PDF before sending it. It should show the Vulpine logo, Vulpine LLC, contact info, line items, unit pricing, totals, and proposal total only.
  7. If the PDF shows internal controls or margin details, stop and use the Print Customer PDF button again from the Dashboard.
