Company goods
The Company goods section allows you to work with product collections—windows and doors made from different profiles.
Distributors can edit information about product collections, the terms of sale for which they have received from their suppliers in the Vitrager system.
By creating its own collection, the company becomes a supplier in the system and can sell them independently and provide dealer terms to other companies.

Calculation of construction costs
To calculate the cost of structures, we use your price list for basic templates and the interpolation method. The resulting price is almost identical to the calculated material costs.
To create a price grid, you take the minimum and maximum permissible dimensions for each template separately and calculate prices in this range with the selected step (the price grid step does not have to be uniform).
Ten points in height and ten in width are sufficient for an accurate calculation (the greater the number of calculation points, the more accurate the resulting price will be). If it is not possible to manufacture a structure when certain sizes intersect, this pair of sizes (height + width) is omitted.
In most designs, the user can independently divide any part of the block with an impost (add a jumper) and add an opening in the desired place, allowing them to achieve the desired window configuration.
When calculating, the program focuses on the existing design template that is closest to the resulting design (without opening).
The AI then analyzes all existing openings in the design and adds their cost, based on calculations using your templates. All calculations are performed according to the actual dimensions of the opening area.
The more templates (price grids) you upload, the more accurate the prices will be and the faster the calculation will be. The complete list of available templates has been compiled based on many years of experience and is the most optimal.
Prices are uploaded separately for each collection (profile system).
To upload, you need to know the ID of your collection and the ID of the templates for which you will be uploading prices. To find them, go to the “Prices” section in the corresponding collection (they are written on the template for each template). The template ID is the same for all collections of the corresponding product type.
The price grid that is loaded is the cost of such a design in the selected configuration.
Each product type has a list of options that the user can change when creating the desired design. The options selected by default must be included in the price that is loaded. They are defined in the “Basic collection parameters” section.
In terms of the system, all collection options are elements of the “additional assortment” or “company colors” — they must be created in advance to fill the collection.
When the user replaces one of the design elements with an alternative, the program subtracts the cost of the base element and adds the cost of the selected one (the list of available elements for each option must be configured in the “Collection colors” and “Collection compatibility” sections). The main options are double-glazed windows, handles, imposts, etc.
Full list of options:
For window collections and sliding systems:
- Default collection colors (profile, base, and seal colors)
- handle
- transom
- double-glazed window
- burglar-proof
For balcony doors:
- Default collection colors (profile, base, and seal colors)

Price upload

Prices for additional assortment
The additional assortment is divided into two options based on the cost calculation principle:
- Category: Double-glazed windows. The resulting price consists of three parts
- price per area (price_primary)
- price per perimeter (price_secondary)
- price per unit (price_piece)
- An example of such an item in the file (item number on the portal and three prices):
- All other categories currently have only one price per unit of measurement. An example of such an item in the file (item number on the portal and price):
Prices for the entire additional assortment can be downloaded in a single file. Prices change only for the assortment present in the file, i.e., the file may contain only those items for which there are changes. Example of the resulting file:
The system has a concept of a “derivative glass unit” — the main purpose of its creation is to simplify price administration. That is, there is a basic glass unit with its own prices per area, perimeter, and unit. There can be many derivatives of this basic unit, where prices per area and perimeter are calculated by a coefficient to the prices of the basic glass unit, and each has its own price per unit. Please note that if there are “derived” glass units in the list when loading prices, they will lose their connection to the base unit and become independent.
