Meridian Systems Group
Proposal / May 20, 2026
Prepared for Harbor Goods Trading

Sales Proposal

A practical plan to deploy a unified order management platform that reduces fulfillment errors and speeds up shipping.

Goal
99 percent within 90 days of go-live
12 weeks
Prepared for
Dana Whitfield
VP of Operations, Harbor Goods Trading
Valid until

Summary

One order platform replaces manual handoffs between sales and shipping

Harbor Goods Trading is scaling faster than its current order tools can support, and manual handoffs between sales, warehouse, and shipping are creating costly errors and delays. Meridian Systems Group will implement a unified order management platform that connects these workflows in one place, with a phased rollout designed to deliver measurable improvements without disrupting daily operations.

Your situation

Order accuracy rises from 94 to 99 percent

The Challenge

Orders move through three disconnected systems, so staff re-enter data by hand, mistakes slip through to customers, and the team has no reliable view of fulfillment status across channels.

Solution Overview

Meridian Systems Group will deploy a configured order management platform with integrated inventory sync, automated routing rules, and a shared operations dashboard, supported through go-live and team training.

Success Metrics

  • Order accuracy rate
    Current
    Roughly 94 percent
    Target
    99 percent within 90 days of go-live
  • Average fulfillment time
    Current
    Two business days
    Target
    Same-day processing for in-stock orders
  • Manual data entry hours
    Current
    About 30 hours per week
    Target
    Reduced to under 8 hours per week
Approach

A pilot on one channel proves results before full rollout

Methodology
Meridian Systems Group will run the engagement in four phases: discovery and configuration, integration build, pilot rollout, and full go-live. Each phase ends with a sign-off review so Harbor Goods can confirm progress before the next stage begins.
Description

A staged delivery model that proves value on a single channel first, then expands across the operation once results are confirmed.

Client Dependencies

  • Access to current order, inventory, and shipping data
  • One operations lead available for review checkpoints
  • API credentials for existing systems and carrier accounts
  • Availability of warehouse staff for pilot testing and training
Scope

Configuration through training across every sales channel

In Scope

  • Discovery of current order and fulfillment workflows
  • Platform configuration for products, channels, and routing rules
  • Integration with inventory and shipping carrier systems
  • Pilot rollout on one sales channel with monitoring
  • Team training and go-live support across all channels

Out of Scope

  • Custom hardware procurement for the warehouse
  • Migration of historical orders older than 24 months
  • Ongoing managed operations after the support window
  • Third-party platform subscription and license fees

Success Prerequisites

  • Source system data is available and reasonably clean
  • A single operations owner approves each milestone
  • Pilot channel is selected before configuration begins
Plan

Live on all channels in 12 weeks

Template questions

What should a sales proposal include?

A strong sales proposal includes an executive summary, the buyer's problem and business case, your proposed solution and scope, deliverables, a timeline, clear pricing, qualifications or proof, and terms. This template provides each of these sections so you can present a complete, credible offer.

How should I structure pricing in a sales proposal?

Tie pricing to clearly defined deliverables, show a single total cost, and break it into a payment schedule linked to milestones such as acceptance, pilot sign-off, and go-live. This template uses a fixed-price model with phase fees and milestone payments that always add up to the total.

How long should a sales proposal be?

Long enough to answer the buyer's key questions and no longer. For most B2B deals that means a few pages covering the problem, solution, scope, timeline, pricing, and terms. Lead with the executive summary so a busy decision-maker can grasp the value quickly.

How do I write a sales proposal that wins the deal?

Focus on the buyer's outcome rather than your features, quantify the impact with measurable success metrics, scope the work clearly so there are no surprises, and make pricing and next steps easy to say yes to. This template is organized to do exactly that.
