## How orders work

Three transaction models depending on which line is being ordered:

- **Rep-firm orders** (most categories): the manufacturer is the vendor of record (ships and invoices the customer); Prater handles the customer-facing workflow end-to-end (quoting, PO entry, status, technical Q&A). Pricing is quote-only — submit a request for current quotation. Applies to Indeeco, Heatrex, Accutherm, Solar Products, WIKA-ST, tecsis, Cincinnati Sub-Zero (CSZ), Reuland Electric, and all Fluke Process Instruments and Raytek lines other than Mi3, CI, CM, and 3iplus series.
- **Authorized distribution — buy-resell**: for Badger Meter family brands, select Raytek lines (Mi3, CI, CM, 3iplus), Hi-Heat, and SunWize. Customer PO is issued to Prater Technical Partners Inc.; Prater purchases from the manufacturer; products are received at the Brooklyn warehouse for inspection and consolidation; Prater ships to the customer and invoices directly. Unit prices for catalog items are published online. SunWize and Hi-Heat ship by factory drop-ship rather than the Brooklyn two-stage flow.
- **Direct-from-stock fulfillment**: select Raytek Mi3 SKUs, Badger Vision, and Badger RecordALL are stocked at the Brooklyn warehouse for same/next-day shipment.

Prater provides meter programming (loading customer-specific configuration, calibration parameters, and communication settings) and commissioning assistance (remote or on-site startup support) for ordered and stocked devices. Full field installation, ongoing on-site repair, and standalone calibration services are referred to manufacturer-authorized service networks or qualified third-party shops.
