Quantaprice Overview

Quantaprice is a high-performance pricing platform designed for organisations that need accurate, consistent, and fast prices across many systems.
It supports both B2B and B2C use cases without forcing your business into one model.
Instead, it focuses on the underlying challenges shared by both: large product catalogs, complex price logic, frequent updates, and the need for predictable performance under load.

Quantaprice is built to remove friction in pricing operations.
It ingests updates efficiently, evaluates prices deterministically, and delivers results with stable latency even at scale.
The service is easy to integrate, easy to operate, and designed to remain reliable as your pricing needs evolve.

Why Quantaprice?​

Works equally well for B2B and B2C​

B2B often includes negotiated contracts, customer-specific lists, quantity brackets, and long-running agreements.
B2C often demands fast lookups, VAT handling, rounding rules, dynamic adjustments, and high volumes of product-page queries.
Quantaprice handles both naturally by focusing on the shared foundations:

  • Large catalogs
  • Multiple price fields
  • Overrides and fallbacks
  • Rounding and VAT logic
  • Bundles and composite products
  • High query volumes

No assumptions are made about your business model.
Your pricing structure defines the behaviour — not the other way around.

Predictable performance at any scale​

Consistent latency is a core design goal.
Price queries for a handful of SKUs or thousands behave predictably, even with many price lists, bundles, or quantity-based rules. Quantaprice avoids the slowdowns typical of relational joins, dynamic rule engines, or externally fetched data.

Designed for constant change​

Pricing changes frequently — supplier updates, campaign adjustments, new agreements, seasonal changes, overrides, or reorganised price lists.
Quantaprice is built for fast ingestion, safe replication, and stable behaviour during and after updates.

Operational simplicity​

The service is stateless at the API layer and predictable at the storage layer.
Replicas stay aligned, backups are lightweight, and monitoring is built around meaningful metrics rather than noise.
This keeps operations straightforward even with large datasets.

Key Capabilities​

Fast and deterministic price evaluation​

Quantaprice evaluates multiple SKUs, price lists, quantity brackets, bundles, and VAT logic in a single request.
The calculation pipeline remains consistent and transparent, ensuring that every system that queries it receives the same result.

High-throughput price updates​

Updates are applied efficiently and safely, with replicas kept in sync.
This makes it viable to run large-scale synchronisations, frequent adjustments, or external system imports without impacting query performance.

Scheduled pricing​

Future pricing is first-class.
Updates can be scheduled to activate at a precise moment — useful for campaigns, contract rollouts, seasonal pricing, or coordinated changes across markets.

Historical pricing​

Quantaprice maintains configurable price history.
This enables:

  • Regulatory or compliance needs
  • Audit trails
  • Debugging and support
  • “Price as of” evaluations for past dates

Retention windows are adjustable per customer cluster.

Bundles and composite products​

Both fixed-price and component-based bundles are supported.
Quantaprice handles mixed VAT scenarios, currency differences, and multi-level compositions consistently and efficiently.

Metadata-driven flexibility​

Articles and price lists can include arbitrary metadata for:

  • Filtering
  • Routing logic
  • Conditional adjustments
  • Integrations
  • Feature flags or segmentation

This adds flexibility without schema migrations.

Clean and predictable API​

The REST API is stateless, low-latency, and designed for high-traffic usage.
It integrates naturally with e-commerce platforms, ERP systems, mobile apps, custom tools, and data pipelines.

Replication and resilience​

Quantaprice supports master/replica setups for redundancy and read scaling.
Replication is continuous and fault-tolerant, with built-in mechanisms for:

  • Backups
  • Cleanup
  • Health monitoring
  • Sequence tracking

This ensures consistent data across nodes without heavy operational burden.

What You Gain​

  • High-performance pricing engine for large catalogs
  • Deterministic pricing behaviour
  • Full support for both B2B and B2C patterns
  • Flexible management of price lists and overrides
  • Scheduled future prices
  • Historical pricing capabilities
  • Robust support for bundles and composite items
  • Metadata-driven extensions
  • Reliable replication for production environments

Quantaprice gives your organisation the confidence that every system — internal or customer-facing — receives the correct price, immediately and consistently, no matter how complex the underlying logic becomes.
