our call

Start with Wholesale Gorilla — highest vibe code, weakest moat.

Logik.io

Building a basic conditional form UI is easy, but Logik.io is a headless constraint solver with real-time rule evaluation and dynamic Bill of Materials (BOM) outputs. Rebuilding high-speed nested rule resolution with a non-technical admin UI requires significant software engineering that quickly spirals beyond an AI prompt.

you can rebuild

  • Step-by-step visual product configuration frontend wizard
  • Basic conditional field visibility rules (if X selected, show Y)
  • Frontend price accumulation based on selected variant attributes
  • Standard JSON attribute payload generation for cart items
  • Simple image swapping based on selected option variations

what you lose

  • Sub-100ms headless rule engine built for enterprise catalog scale
  • Visual drag-and-drop rule builder for non-developer product managers
  • Dynamic Bill of Materials (BOM) multi-line creation for production ERPs
  • Native multi-way synchronization with Salesforce CPQ and SAP
  • Multi-attribute dynamic pricing matrices with volume dynamic recalculations

real moats

  • High-performance constraint satisfaction engine evaluated at millisecond scale
  • No-code administrative UI for operations and product teams to update complex business rules
  • Deep bidirectional sync hooks into enterprise CRMs and ERP production systems

  • Volume and quantity break discount rules
  • Wholesale account registration and approval workflows
  • Quick order matrix form for bulk purchasing

  • Turnkey Shopify admin UI for managing rules without code
  • Out-of-the-box compatibility with new Shopify theme updates
  • Pre-built email notification triggers for wholesale applications
  • Built-in handling of multiple currency conversions for wholesale rules
  • Dedicated app support for edge cases in Shopify cart transforms
