Poly9 AI · for manufacturers

Mood board to priced collection buyers can share.

To turn a mood board into a priced collection, link each item to a product in your catalog, set its finish and size, and price it from your rules. Poly9 AI shows a certified price where a rule covers the line and price on request where one is missing. It publishes the collection at one link buyers open on a phone and forward to their team.

The problem

Mood boards sell the story. Pricing closes it.

Inspiration without pricing

A buyer sees the mood board, loves the direction, asks what it costs. You built the board to show the story, not to quote it. The pricing comes later, in a spreadsheet, disconnected from the vision.

PDF or screenshots

You export a PDF or take screenshots of the mood board and send it over email. The buyer cannot configure finish or size, cannot share it easily with their team, and the pricing is a separate attachment they have to match up by hand.

Vision and numbers stay separate

The mood board lives in one tool, the quote in another. The buyer approves the aesthetic but waits for the numbers. By the time your price arrives, they have moved on to someone who quoted the collection at once.

How it works

Configure, price, share one link.

Poly9 AI configures every item on the mood board. It prices each one from your approved rules, or shows price on request where a rule is missing. The collection publishes at a shareable link. The buyer opens it on a phone, explores finish and size options, and forwards it to their team.

Step 1
Start with the mood board
A style story, a lifestyle room, or a set of products you want to present together. Built in Poly9 AI or assembled from existing imagery and product data in your catalog.
Step 2
Configure each item
Link each item on the board to a product in your catalog, then set the finish, size and material you recommend. The buyer sees that configuration first and can change it in the link.
Step 3
Price from rules or POR
If your pricing rules cover the configuration, the collection shows certified pricing. If a rule is missing for a finish or size, that line shows price on request. Never a guess.
Step 4
Publish and share the link
The collection publishes at a unique link. The buyer opens it on a phone, explores the options, sees pricing or POR per item, and forwards the link to their team. The collection stays live, so a rule you add later prices an item that showed POR before.

The contrast

Mood board PDF vs priced collection link

Compare what a buyer receives today with what Poly9 AI delivers.

	Mood board PDF or screenshot	Priced collection link
Format	Static image or PDF export	Live link, opens on any device
Pricing	Separate spreadsheet or follow-up email	Certified from rules or POR, shown with each item
Options	Fixed image, cannot change finish or size	Buyer configures finish, size, material in the link
Sharing	Forward the PDF attachment	Copy and paste one link
Updates	Re-export and resend the whole file	Edit a price rule once, the link reflects it
Buyer team approval	Email thread with attachments	One link the whole team opens

Trust mechanism

Certified pricing or honest price on request.

Poly9 AI prices every configured item from your approved rules. When a rule is missing, the line shows price on request with the configuration attached, so your follow-up is a real quote instead of a clarification thread. The buyer sees which items are priced and which need follow-up before they forward the link.

Rules you control

Every price comes from a rule you wrote and approved. Cost recipes, grade matrices, MOQ bands. No AI-guessed numbers.

POR when gaps exist

A finish, size or material you have not priced shows price on request. The buyer knows to expect follow-up. You never send a number you cannot defend.

Live link stays current

Add the missing rule and the collection reflects it on the next visit. The buyer who saved the link last month sees the current price today.

Questions about priced collections from mood boards

How is this different from a mood board guide or lifestyle room?

A mood board shows the visual story. A priced collection adds a price or price on request to every piece, so the buyer can approve it and share it with their team. The mood board guide covers building the story; this workflow covers pricing it from your rules in one link.

What if we do not have pricing rules for everything in the board?

Items without a loaded rule show price on request. The buyer sees which items are priced and which need follow-up. They can still share the link with their team, and when you add the rule later the collection reflects the new price.

Can buyers change the finish or size in the collection?

Yes. The collection starts with the configuration you recommend, but buyers can explore other finishes, sizes and materials. If your rules cover the new configuration, they see a certified price. If not, it returns price on request.

Do we need a Poly9 AI account to build the mood board first?

You need the products in your Poly9 AI catalog, because that is where the options and pricing rules live. The board itself can start anywhere: bring the images and the product list, and build the collection from the matching catalog items. A board built in Poly9 AI skips the matching step.

What do buyers see when they open the collection link?

A curated set of products with photos, the recommended finish and size, and either a certified price from your rules or price on request. They can configure options, add items to their own collection, and forward the link to their team.

Can the same collection be shared with multiple buyers?

Yes. One collection link can go to as many buyers as you like, and each one opens the same curated set. Each buyer picks their own finishes and sizes in the link, and every configuration is priced from the same rules or shown as price on request.
