Lots of these places have discounts when you spend tiers of money. 1.5% discount if you spend 10k a year. 2.5% for spending 25k and so on kind of a thing.
Contractor rates basically, give us business and we give you a deal. So you may pay $100, but Bob can go and get it for $90.
"If only there was a way to keep track of that, maybe someone in accounting could think of something. Anyone got some ideas? No? If only those computer things were more useful, could we track with those? Anyone? Damn, I guess accounting will have to keep manually tracking everything. Why do we have a website again? Oh yeah, it's like the sears catalog on the intertubes."

Yea I see a lot of software online that has their tiers and pricing for it. The only time they have a 'call for pricing' is when it's truly ridiculous amounts. They'll have like
10 users 10 bucks 100 users 90 bucks 1000 users 800 bucks 100000 users call for pricing.
Most of these places have vendor portals so you can see individual pricing, you can also call, some places also sell to general public, but their pricing is based off of market conditions, so a week after the catalog is out, a large portion is outdated. General public don’t have accounts and the vast majority aren’t going to sign up for one off faucet cartridge either.
Do you think it would work for Walmart to price milk at one price the entire year for an example?
I think you missed this part:
You know, where you can edit things quickly, or even have the price update automatically as your costs change.
So the issue being, everyone has their own unique pricing, and here’s the real reason, most people are friggen stupid. The customer will inevitably be logged out, and then when viewing the website get enraged when the pricing jumps 15% overnight. So when it defaults to “call or login for pricing” the customer should realize they are logged out, and they also aren’t seeing incorrect pricing leading them to go elsewhere.
People are stupid, keep this in mind when you think of why something is probably done.
