00:00:05:21 - 00:00:06:04
Once we've

00:00:06:04 - 00:00:10:13
configured the RFQ module as seen
in the previous tutorials in this series,

00:00:10:25 - 00:00:14:12
we're able to utilize it to request
and receive quotes for jobs.

00:00:15:03 - 00:00:17:15
In this tutorial,
we'll explore this workflow

00:00:17:15 - 00:00:20:03
as seen on the front end
of your Infigo storefront.

00:00:21:09 - 00:00:25:17
We begin by navigating to
one of our products which require a quote.

00:00:26:20 - 00:00:28:20
So I've got this
setup on a test storefront

00:00:28:20 - 00:00:31:18
and I've just got the one product
set up as a featured product.

00:00:33:07 - 00:00:36:19
We can see that this has been configured
as we saw in a previous tutorial,

00:00:36:19 - 00:00:42:04
to require a quotation
in order to purchase.

00:00:42:09 - 00:00:45:21
So I'm just going to enter a quantity,

00:00:45:22 - 00:00:48:17
click quote
and then enter a quote reference

00:00:50:17 - 00:00:53:13
from the perspective of the customer
requesting the quote

00:00:53:29 - 00:00:57:19
that will now be saved into the
my accounts area.

00:00:58:00 - 00:01:01:29
They also have an additional quote URL
which gives them some particular reference

00:01:02:09 - 00:01:05:16
on the quote that was placed.

00:01:05:27 - 00:01:08:01
So if I go to the accounts area

00:01:10:13 - 00:01:12:12
saved quotes,

00:01:12:21 - 00:01:15:08
then all of my available quotes
will appear here,

00:01:15:28 - 00:01:18:08
including
the one I've just placed at the moment.

00:01:18:08 - 00:01:22:08
There's No Child Quotes because none of
our suppliers have yet to place a bid.

00:01:23:25 - 00:01:27:09
So from the suppliers perspective,
we now see they received an email,

00:01:27:09 - 00:01:28:22
something like this.

00:01:28:22 - 00:01:31:05
As we mentioned in that specific tutorial,

00:01:31:15 - 00:01:35:02
the default templates that are provided
are very, very basic.

00:01:35:10 - 00:01:38:16
They could really do with some tidying up
with your own branding

00:01:38:16 - 00:01:41:20
and your own formatting
to get the emails looking nice.

00:01:42:11 - 00:01:44:26
However, the email
that was received by the supplier

00:01:44:26 - 00:01:48:21
does have a URL contained within it.

00:01:48:28 - 00:01:52:19
I can just copy and paste that

00:01:52:19 - 00:01:54:23
and now I'm viewing this
from the perspective

00:01:54:23 - 00:01:58:06
of our supplier.

00:01:59:07 - 00:02:03:04
By utilizing that link,
they get taken to this bid form.

00:02:03:16 - 00:02:06:26
So we may have customized the form
with some text over here

00:02:06:26 - 00:02:08:29
if we want to give them
some specific information.

00:02:09:13 - 00:02:12:22
But what they're primarily going to do
is to take a look over on the right hand

00:02:12:22 - 00:02:16:14
side, at the information
related to the quote.

00:02:17:02 - 00:02:20:11
Then they can return some references,
some add some notes,

00:02:20:29 - 00:02:24:26
or just declined to quote at
all for this particular job

00:02:40:07 - 00:02:41:05
they have submits,

00:02:41:05 - 00:02:43:28
they get a message saying whether the

00:02:45:02 - 00:02:47:04
submission of that particular

00:02:47:04 - 00:02:49:18
bit has been completed or not.

00:02:50:04 - 00:02:53:16
And then what happens at this point
is that information now

00:02:53:16 - 00:02:57:07
gets sent back to the customer
that actually requested

00:02:57:07 - 00:02:59:17
the quotation.

00:03:00:09 - 00:03:04:01
So the actual customer
now has received a couple of emails

00:03:04:01 - 00:03:06:24
to prompt the fact
that there's been some response.

00:03:07:09 - 00:03:10:22
So what we can see there is we've
got an email which is being returned,

00:03:10:22 - 00:03:15:04
which is just giving some information
saying that particular supplier has

00:03:15:04 - 00:03:18:27
responded to that request for quotation
with some associated information.

00:03:19:18 - 00:03:21:27
And also
because there was only one potential

00:03:21:27 - 00:03:23:05
supplier

00:03:25:09 - 00:03:28:20
in contention for that particular example
that we set up.

00:03:29:05 - 00:03:33:07
They've got a second email through which
to do is to do with all bids received.

00:03:33:18 - 00:03:36:24
It's not just means that all of the bids
from all of the suppliers

00:03:36:24 - 00:03:39:11
have been received
for that particular job.

00:03:41:04 - 00:03:41:08
There

00:03:41:08 - 00:03:43:27
is a link there where they can go
straight to their quotes area.

00:03:44:08 - 00:03:46:20
Or I can just go back to the same site
I was on.

00:03:47:14 - 00:03:49:21
I'll just refresh the saved quotes page

00:03:51:21 - 00:03:55:13
and we'll now see that
that quote has come through in the Child

00:03:55:13 - 00:04:04:08
Quotes area, the ability
to email that quotes elsewhere,

00:04:04:26 - 00:04:08:08
or if I'm ready to accept it,
I can click open quote

00:04:09:17 - 00:04:11:03
where I now have the ability.

00:04:11:03 - 00:04:15:24
It gives you the price
based on what the supplier has quoted.

00:04:16:23 - 00:04:18:22
And then I can add that to my basket
and then just proceed as normal

00:04:19:00 - 00:04:20:15
and then just proceed as normal

00:04:20:15 - 00:04:46:24
through our checkout process.

00:04:46:24 - 00:04:50:23
Once the order has been placed, the order
information, as always, will be within

00:04:51:07 - 00:04:54:23
the customer's order area.

00:04:55:18 - 00:04:56:09
Then, from the

00:04:56:09 - 00:04:59:21
suppliers perspective,
another email will be received.

00:05:00:10 - 00:05:01:26
Something similar to this.

00:05:01:26 - 00:05:04:06
But again, it can be customized to make it
look a little bit

00:05:05:11 - 00:05:05:29
better.

00:05:06:05 - 00:05:10:21
This is saying that the supplier has won
that job and is now giving

00:05:10:21 - 00:05:16:03
all the relevant information
and prompts them to follow the next steps.

00:05:16:03 - 00:05:20:17
So once that job has been processed,
once that job has been completed

00:05:20:17 - 00:05:24:17
and is being dispatched, then
they have the ability to click this link

00:05:24:17 - 00:05:28:22
here to mark
the item are shipped on the system

00:05:30:23 - 00:05:33:21
so that will take them to the shipped
form.

00:05:33:21 - 00:05:36:15
And again, remember,
this is what the supplier is going to see.

00:05:37:14 - 00:05:40:11
That supplier can confirm
that job is shipped.

00:05:40:11 - 00:05:42:23
They can add a tracking number
if necessary

00:05:47:26 - 00:05:48:18
and then submit

00:05:54:13 - 00:05:56:00
from the customer's perspective.

00:05:56:00 - 00:05:58:07
That's now using the configure storefront.

00:05:58:07 - 00:06:01:11
If you go back into their orders
and refresh the order information,

00:06:01:20 - 00:06:06:29
we can see
that job has now set to be completed.

00:06:06:29 - 00:06:10:06
Also is updated with information
based on when it was shipped.

00:06:10:06 - 00:06:13:26
So when the supplier actually completed
that shipped form

00:06:14:07 - 00:06:17:03
along with the tracking number
that the supplier

00:06:17:03 - 00:06:20:01
has input.
