A size grid that prices itselfSoon

Brikl’s Order Builder brings on-demand pricing to the bulk orders you place today. Type quantities per size and colorway, watch the volume break and the margin move as you type, and place the order without building a store first — it routes straight to production.

Why it exists

Most bulk orders are still built in a spreadsheet

A size grid in one file, a price list in another, decoration in an email, and the margin worked out afterwards — if at all. Order Builder is that spreadsheet, except it knows the supplier’s cost, knows the price breaks, knows the decoration and tells you the margin while you’re still typing.

The grid is the product

Open a product inside the order and it expands into the thing you were going to build by hand anyway.

A row per colorway, a column per size

Every colorway gets its own row and every size its own column, with a running row total in units and revenue and a total-units line underneath. The shape matches how the order is actually placed.

Quantity, sell and cost on every cell

Three lines per colorway — what you're ordering, what you're charging and what it costs you. Cost is inherited from the catalog unless you override it, and says so.

It behaves like a spreadsheet

Select a range and the count and sum appear. Set a value and apply it to everything selected. Drag the fill handle across a row, or paste a column straight from a spreadsheet — and undo the fill if it wasn't what you meant.

Focus on one colorway at a time

A large order in eight colorways is a lot of rows. Focus mode narrows the grid to one colorway while the totals stay honest, then puts the rest back.

Colorways the order needs, not just the ones on the shelf

Pick from what the product carries — each colour shown with its swatch and its hex — and every one you tick becomes a row in the grid. A colour the product doesn’t carry yet can be added by name and swatch, and joins that product’s palette for the order.

1

Sizes are a column, and you can add one

The grid runs the product's size range, with a + to add a size the range doesn't include.

2

Label a row

Each colorway row takes its own label — the squad, the department, the location — so a split order stays readable at production.

3

Split a row

One colorway can be split into more than one line when part of the run needs to be treated differently.

The pricing

On-demand pricing, on a bulk order

This is the part that doesn’t exist in a spreadsheet: the numbers move while you build, because the platform already knows the cost and the breaks.

1

The volume break re-rates as you type

Add units and the order crosses a price break; the product row says which break it's on now, and every sell price in the grid updates with it. Nobody has to look up a price table and retype a column.

2

Per-unit and subtotal, always visible

Units, per-unit price, product total and decoration sit above the grid for each product, and the order total sits at the top of the screen. The number you'd have to compute is already computed.

3

Charges are typed, not lumped together

A decoration charge, a supplier charge and a bill-only charge behave differently, so they're labelled differently. Tick the ones that apply to a product; the rest stay in the library untouched.

4

Margin at the bottom of it all

The order summary carries the price breakdown — merchandise, decoration run charges, setup fees, extra charges, discount, shipping and tax — then revenue, cost, profit and margin. You know what the order is worth before you send it.

Everything the order needs around it

The grid is where the order is built. The record beside it holds the rest — and none of it is a separate document you have to keep in step.

1

Order setup

How the order is being run, and what it's called. It auto-saves as you work and stays a draft until you take it forward.

2

Customer

Who it's for, and where it's going. Fulfilment reads from the customer and delivery details.

3

Artwork

What gets decorated and with what — set per item rather than per order, and prepared for production.

4

Charges

The typed charges applied to each product, each with quantity, net cost, profit percentage and price.

5

People

Who owns the order on your team, and who the contact is on the other side.

6

Summary

A printable order document: customer, every product with its units, colorways, placements and decoration methods, the full price breakdown, and profit and margin at the foot.

Image placeholder · 21:9Order Builder — the order record open beside the gridProduct UI, light

Every order, wherever it came from

Orders built here sit alongside orders that arrived from a store, a team store or the marketplace. One list, one set of columns, one deadline to watch.

1

Source

Direct, store, team store or marketplace — labelled on the row, because how an order arrived changes how it's handled.

2

Status and progress

Draft, in negotiation, pending confirmation, in production, shipped, delivered or rejected, with a progress bar that matches.

3

In-hands date

The date it has to land, and how far away that is — in ten days, due tomorrow, or eight days overdue, stated in words rather than left to arithmetic.

4

Amount

What the order is worth, on the row, so a list of orders is also a list of what's at stake.

5

Customer and owner

Who it's for and who's responsible. In a shared account this is what stops an order falling between two people.

6

Bulk actions

Select several orders and act on all of them at once, rather than opening each in turn.

Starting one takes a pick: products from the Marketplace, or an empty order to fill in later. Either way it’s created as pending, with nothing in production — see Create from anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Brikl Order Builder?
It's how you place a bulk order in Brikl. A per-size, per-colorway grid takes quantities, prices them at the volume break the order qualifies for, applies decoration and charges at the item level, and shows the margin as you build. No store has to exist first, and the finished order routes to production.
Do I need a storefront to place an order?
No. Order Builder is the direct path: create the order, add products, fill the grid and send it. Orders that arrive from a store, a team store or the marketplace land in the same list and are worked the same way.
Can I paste quantities from a spreadsheet?
Yes. The grid takes a pasted column or block the way a spreadsheet does, and the fill handle drags a value across a row. If a fill wasn't what you meant, undo puts it back.
Does the price change as the quantity grows?
Yes. The product row shows the price break the order currently qualifies for, and every sell price in the grid re-rates when the quantity crosses into the next one. The per-unit figure above the grid moves with it.
Can I add a color the supplier doesn't list?
Yes. The colour panel has a new-colour option: name it, pick a swatch or type a hex value, and it joins that product's palette for the order.
How are setup fees and surcharges handled?
As typed charges you tick per product — a decoration charge, a supplier charge, or a bill-only charge. Each has its own quantity, net cost, profit percentage and price, and editing one on an order applies to that order only; your charge library is unchanged.
Where do I see the margin?
In the order summary, alongside the full price breakdown. Revenue, cost, profit and margin are stated for the whole order — which is the number the conversation is actually about.
Is the order saved while I work?
It auto-saves, and the bar tells you when it last did. An order stays a draft until you take it forward, so a half-built order is a normal state rather than something to be nervous about.
How do I follow an order after it's placed?
From the orders list: source, status, progress, amount, customer, owner, the in-hands date and how far away it is — including when it's overdue. Every order you have is on one screen with its deadline attached.
