System and method for configuring the display of sale items recommended based on customer need and heuristically managing customer need-based purchasing recommendations

An information handling system operating a customer need-based configuration recommendation management system to enhance configuration selection for a custom information handling system build comprising:

• a processor executing machine readable executable code instructions of the customer need-based configuration recommendation management system to define a plurality of preset user functional requirement definitions for a configuration of one or more sale items to configure components and software for an on-sale custom information handling system build available via a web interface, wherein the each of the plurality of preset user functional definitions corresponds to one of a plurality of need-based categories of customers relating to operating capabilities of the custom information handling system;
• a memory to store a plurality of list configurations used with information handling systems, each of the plurality of list configurations including a configuration of sale items of components and software associated with one of the plurality of preset user functional definitions, wherein each of the sale items have different sale item types of components and software from one another and are identified as being compatible with one another according to component and software compatibility data for a custom information handling system build stored in memory;
• and
• a configurator for a user-selected need-based category to present one of the plurality of list configurations for information handling systems including a configuration of sale items of components and software associated with the first functional requirement definition for the user-selected need-based category and prompt the user to select for purchase the presented sale item component or software for inclusion in the custom information handling system build;
• wherein one of the plurality of sale items of components and software within the presented stored list configuration for information handling systems having a first item type is associated with an accuracy counter variable having a higher value in comparison to a plurality of accuracy counter variables associated with other sale items not within the presented stored list configuration having the first sale item type.
