Wave review

The supplier pricing API returned 200 before the write landed, which is how we ended up sending the same quote request three times in testing. Idempotency key on our side, keyed on the quote id. Problem gone. But it is worth saying out loud because no demo shows you this part, and it is the part that decides whether the thing survives a real week. Second thing that nearly broke it: one supplier record in forty arrives with no currency field. We validate on ingest and alert on the gap now, rather than finding out from a customer.

Two days a week, gone to quoting. That was the number before we touched anything. The instinct is to buy a quoting platform. We mapped the process first and found that two of seven steps carried most of the delay. We automated those two and left the rest alone. Turnaround went from 2.5 days to 4 hours. Nobody learned a new system. The scope we did not take on is the reason it worked.
