Hello,
My client requires a functionality by which a client may ask for a product quotation through a simple email. On his sites will be a listing of products and in the navigation a link titled "request quotation"
The idea is that the client makes his quotation request using a simple email or contact form where he may specify anything at all. He may ask "do you have a product which this and that characteristics?? "
The admin receives such email and somehow generates a random link to send to the client with a certain expiry time. this link will link the user to a page where is displayed the procuct(s) that fulfill his request.
he can then select a check box and accept, or, simply refuse the quotation.
The idea is to have the client passing through different statuses for his request : Open, Approved, Rejected, Processing, In Production, Shipped and Closed
There is no online payment, all is done through emails and admin backend management. I am not sure how the payment details are done but this is not in my goals at the moment. The different user status are so that the admin can keep track of all users that have asked for quotations.
When a user's link expires, the admin can always go back to the backend panel and send a new one. He can manage orders statuses of course for all users
I hope that my explanation was clear enough
I'd like to know if there is any module which does this kind of job by using simple email exchange. If not, if there is anything that can be modified or adapted or if I would need to develop a new module, and in case, if anyone has any suggestions it would be great.
Best
