Teaching an AI agent to quote bulk pricing correctly
How we structure tiers, stock rules and approval limits so the agent never undersells you.
Start with tiers, not exceptions
Most wholesalers already have informal bulk pricing — a per-unit discount past a certain quantity, sometimes negotiated case by case. Before the agent can quote correctly, that informal logic needs to become an explicit tier table: quantity bands, prices, and which products they apply to.
Stock and reservation rules
A quote is only useful if the stock is real. The agent checks live inventory before quoting a bulk price, and can place a short hold — typically 48 to 72 hours — so the customer has time to confirm without the stock being sold elsewhere first.
Where the agent stops and a human starts
Every business sets an approval ceiling: order size, discount depth, or a specific customer list that always routes to a human before confirming. The agent quotes and reserves; it doesn't have authority to go below the floor price without sign-off.
