One set of products, two different documents

Portrait or landscape, images and item codes on a toggle, so one set of products makes a dealer list and a customer list.

A dealer and a customer want opposite things

One dealer, one walk-in, and two documents that should not look alike.

A dealer
  • Item codes and net rates — and as many products on a page as will fit
  • He is ordering — every extra page is a page he scrolls past
A walk-in customer
  • Pictures — and no codes at all
  • He is choosing — not ordering — and the code means nothing to him

Both lists come from the same products at the same rates. What changes is what you show.

The toggles matter more than the styles

Three toggles decide more than any style does.

Images on or off

The single decision that turns a trade document into a customer one.

Item codes on or off

Useful to a dealer, meaningless to a homeowner, and slightly off-putting when it is not.

Section grouping on or off

For a list covering several categories — hardware, then hinges, then channels — with headings and clean breaks between them.

Three layout styles sit underneath those choices, from a dense trade table to something more open and readable.

Portrait or landscape

Landscape where the table is wide — more columns, more products across the page, better for a dealer working through it on a laptop.

Portrait where the list will be read, printed or filed.

The header carries the date

Every list shows the date it applies from, a plus-GST note, and a line saying prices are subject to change.

Small, and it ends a conversation you have had before — the customer holding a list from February who is certain that is still the rate.
