A method for pricing a product by a wholesaler. The method comprises providing
a master database of product information to a distributor, receiving a selection
of products from the distributor, wherein the distributor chooses the selection
from the master database and provides a variable margin amount for the products
to the wholesaler. The wholesaler associates a customer category with the variable
margin amounts, and then assigns the customer category to one of the products.
Finally, the wholesaler calculates a variable price for the products, based on
provided variable margin amount and transmits the calculated variable price for
the products to the distributor.
