Project Summary

Sunflower Lab developed AWS-based modules that automate quotation generation for a family-owned packaging manufacturer. The software produces automatic quotes based on client data and distribution usage and is being expanded with additional modules. The client is satisfied with responsive support and expects labor cost savings equivalent to two full-time employees over time.

Key Challenges

Difficulty remembering and assigning tasks to employees
Trouble tracking orders, containers, and quotations
Need to develop seven or eight software modules to automate processes

Project Deliverables

Automatic quotation generation software
Multiple AWS-based modules for distribution and quoting
Integration to automatically send price and data to clients

Project Solution

Sunflower Lab developed custom software modules hosted on AWS to automate the generation and delivery of client quotations. The system accepts client data and produces recurring quotations (monthly or bimonthly), automatically sending pricing and details to clients. The engagement is iterative and ongoing, with additional modules and expanded manufacturing-focused features planned.

Project Outcome

Issues are resolved within 24 hours
Software produces labor savings equivalent to two full-time employees
