Tri-Springs — Private Label Water, Quote to Invoice
Client: Tri-Springs
One Next.js app serving three audiences for a Tennessee spring water bottler — a public brochure site, a staff dashboard running quotes, production orders, invoices and bill-of-materials costing, and a tokenized proof page where private-label customers approve their own label artwork.
Context & Objective
Tri-Springs ran on a WordPress + Oxygen Builder site with quoting and label approvals happening off-system. They needed one place where a private-label enquiry becomes a priced quote, an accepted quote opens a production run, and the customer signs off on the artwork before anything is printed.
Outcome
Replaced the WordPress site and the off-system paperwork with a single application. Quotes, orders and invoices are numbered per year and costed from a real bill of materials; every label approval is recorded with the name, timestamp and IP of whoever approved it.
Key Highlights
- Quote → production order → invoice, with per-year document numbering that never reissues a number
- Bill-of-materials costing at four granularities — per bottle, case, pallet and order — with scrap and whole-unit rounding
- Cost snapshots on each order, so a supplier price change never rewrites a finished job's margin
- Label designer storing artwork as millimetre-based JSON, versioned on every save
- Shared pure SVG renderer — what a customer approves is exactly what staff designed
- Print preflight for bleed, safe margin, minimum type size, image DPI and required blocks
- Tokenized 30-day proof links with no customer login, recording name, timestamp and IP on approval
