  • Patent number: 10373214
    Abstract: A method includes generating a delta price and generating a final price using the delta price. A process and system provide an ability to determine a product's final price with a selected set of features in which multiple configurations are to be generated. The ability to determine such final prices can be based on the ability to determine the change in price between one configuration of a product and that of another product configuration (e.g. the product configured with the desired feature(s)). A customer is able to select one or more features, and so view the effect on the product's final price, as well as compare the prices (and incremental price differences) between various configurations of a given product. This increases the likelihood of the purchase being made, because it provides the potential purchaser with the final price earlier in the sales cycle.

  • Publication number: 20040267674
    Abstract: An automated pricing system for calculating pricing for items and item orders has, a sever node connected to a data network for serving pricing information; a pricing application running on the server node for calculating the pricing information served; and a data repository accessible to the server node for storing at least one pricing data model and rules for manipulating the model. The server node receives requests for pricing, accesses rules created for pricing factors used in at least one pricing sequence to price an item or items of the request and uses the pricing application to calculate the correct pricing results including order sub totals and order total amounts for the request based on sorting and/or conflict resolution of the rules accessed for each factor.
