Business problem
CCC quote and requested-part information lived inside portal workflows that were not built for repeatable analytics extraction. Users needed quote details, XML artifacts, grid records, and requested parts in structured formats without repeatedly clicking through screens manually.
The challenge was to turn a portal-driven workflow into a reliable extraction process that could collect the right data, preserve useful artifacts, and produce files ready for downstream reporting.
System built
Built a Playwright-based automation system for CCC quote extraction, transaction search, pagination handling, detail extraction, jqGrid parsing, XML download capture, requested-part extraction, and browser-free XML processing modes.
The system converts portal activity into structured CSV, JSON, JSONL, XML, and Excel outputs that can support matching workflows, reporting pipelines, and operational analysis.
Extraction signals
Signals reviewed
The automation evaluates portal state, grid results, quote details, and XML artifacts before producing reporting-ready files.
Portal flow
How it works
Navigate
Automate the CCC portal workflow and move through the quote search and transaction screens.
The automation handles browser-driven navigation so repeat extraction work does not depend on manual portal clicking.
Search
Run supplier transaction searches and collect quote grid results across pages.
The grid layer turns portal table results into structured records that can be reviewed, normalized, and connected to quote details.
Extract
Open quote detail views, parse requested parts, and capture the operational fields needed for reporting.
The detail layer pulls useful quote-level and part-level information out of screens that were not designed for analytics workflows.
Capture XML
Download and preserve XML quote artifacts for browser-assisted and browser-free processing modes.
XML capture creates a stronger source artifact that can support repeated parsing, validation, and downstream extraction logic.
Deliver
Produce CSV, JSON, JSONL, XML, and Excel outputs for reporting, analysis, and downstream automation.
The final outputs turn portal activity into portable, structured files that support operational reporting and follow-up workflows.
Automation layers
What the extractor coordinates
Portal automation
Handles browser-driven workflow steps such as navigation, search, pagination, and quote-detail access.
Grid parser
Converts quote grid rows and jqGrid-style payloads into structured records that can be analyzed.
Detail extractor
Collects quote-level fields, requested parts, transaction context, and supporting operational details.
XML processor
Captures XML artifacts and supports browser-free parsing modes for repeatable extraction.
Impact signals
What the automation improved
Portal extraction workflow for CCC quote activity
CSV / JSON / JSONL / XML / Excel outputs
Requested-parts extraction from quote detail and XML sources
Pagination and grid parsing for repeatable collection
Browser-assisted and browser-free processing paths
Operational value
Portal workflows turned into structured outputs
Less manual portal work
Reduces repetitive clicking, searching, detail-opening, and file collection work inside CCC workflows.
More structured quote data
Transforms portal screens and XML artifacts into consistent outputs for reporting and analysis.
Better extraction traceability
Run outputs and artifacts make it easier to review what was collected and how it moved downstream.
Reporting-ready files
Creates data files that can feed Excel, analytics pipelines, matching workflows, and future reporting stages.
Why this project matters
A manual portal process converted into a repeatable extraction system.
This project shows how browser automation can turn portal-bound operational data into a structured reporting asset. Instead of repeatedly navigating quote screens by hand, the system captures grid data, quote details, XML artifacts, and requested parts through a repeatable workflow.
The value is not just automation. The value is transforming hard-to-access portal data into clean outputs that can support matching, reporting, and downstream analytics.
