Complete audit & operations reference: products, customizer, pricing, quoting, production. Audience: admin operators + technical team.
Sketcher.Design runs two connected business lines on one platform: (a) a global design subscription (design services, plans, projects, collaboration) and (b) UAE print production (products/SKUs, an online customizer, a quote engine with vendor matching, and order fulfillment). Everything product-related funnels into the quote/order pipeline, while everything design-related funnels into projects and design requests.
The architecture has four layers: admin data setup (categories, attributes, cost slabs, vendors) feeds a customer-facing layer (catalogs, product detail, customizer), which triggers a backend pipeline (quote matching, pricing, CRM, notifications), monitored by scheduled workflows (SLA, quote expiry, vendor risk, product sync).
