Do More With Less

CalcuQuote has absolutely helped us compete more effectively by enabling our single quoter/purchaser to effectively handle the work of two to three people.

Scott Regnier | Process Engineer

 

Team That Cares

I have never seen such a great staff that gets engaged and buys into your success.

 

Jay Patel | CEO

 

Valuable Partnership

I think the partnership is probably the best thing that I love about CalcuQuote, is seeing them for the first time, nine years ago, and seeing where they are today at their ten-year anniversary, just impressive.

Margaret Cunha | Senior Director of Business Development

 

Instant Problem Identification

So I upload a BOM, and in 5 minutes I know what my serious problems are, and I can spend my time to address those issues.

Sabrina Beck | Vice President

Game-Changing Efficiency

CalcuQuote has made it so easy to get the best pricing in a quick manner. It has completely revolutionized how we quote our assemblies. Game changing!

Stacey Martindale | Sales Executive

Simplified Quoting Process

My favorite thing about CalcuQuote is how easy it makes quoting from not having to do so much on spreadsheets. It does so much for you with its APIs, with being able to do all the math behind the scenes.

Benjamin Leclair | Program Manager

Significant Time Saving

CalcuQuote has changed our business in a number of ways. I would say the most significant is the amount of time it takes to process a quote, which really helps us to dial in on the BOMs and the quote that we're processing on, what we want to focus on. It gives us the ability to process something very quickly via APIs and sped up the quoting process immensely.

Cara Knott | Material Cost Manager

Makes Quoting Easy

My favorite thing about CalcuQuote specifically QuoteCQ is how we process all of our quotes. It makes quoting easy, and I'm not a person that likes to quote things. You got to be very precise if the data from that quote is being used for other metrics. So CalcuQuote allows quotes to be processed faster and easier, and especially with these updates that CalcuQuote pushes out.

Sam Hogg | Senior Program Manager

Quick Labor Calculation

I was surprised that a lot of people don't use the labor side of CalcuQuote. I've been using CalcuQuote since 2015 and that was actually a lifesaver for me. With labor, everybody had to come to me to do it because I had all the magic in my head. So once I was able to put that into CalcuQuote, I was able to train others, and it became a fairly easy task to accomplish. It definitely becomes an extension of your company.

Wayne Sanita | VP Operations

Auto-Select is a Gold Mine

Consider the Auto Select tool. The Auto Select tool is a great gold mine for buyers in quarters of life.

Alfonso Cartagena | Director of Information Technology

 

Seamless Cetec Integration

I'm a senior buyer and I've been using CalcuQuote for one and a half years. I like it a lot because it also goes into Cetec really easily. It makes our jobs a half-time frame.

Mercedes Nihart | Purchasing Manager

Real-Time data

CQ enables us to review pricing but also multiple scenarios depending on the customer’s requirements such as inventory on hand for quick turnaround. We also use CQ for buying. The time between getting the quote and receiving the order is sometimes weeks which means pricing and inventory positions have changed. So when we receive a customer order, we use CQ again for pricing and material availability.

Lee Reeves | Director of Inventory Management

 

Focus On What Matters

We're in a really challenging environment right now, and some of the components are very difficult to find. That's where we need to put all of our effort. CalcuQuote has enabled us to distill down to those components that we need to pay the most attention to.

Sabrina Beck | Vice President

More Than Just Support

Out of all the companies we've interacted with in the post-COVID era, CalcuQuote's people are truly the best to work with. They provide customer service that genuinely makes you feel valued and cared for, which is incredibly refreshing when working with individuals you can connect with, rather than just a nameless, faceless contact.

Scott Regnier | Process Engineer

 

Intuitive BOM Health Reports

BOM Health monitoring is extremely intuitive and quick to use. It allows for me to provide my customers with a detailed health report on their BOM with the latest information from the top distributors. The value that we receive from the BOM Health reports is unmatched!

Matthew Lund | Account Manager

Optimized Inventory Usage

I think the biggest impact has been our ability to leverage existing inventory to drive down the total $$ we have tied up in inventory. Prior to MSP it was a challenge for us to manage all of our substitute components across our customer base. Having visibility through MSP has helped with that tremendously.

Brant Littrell | Director of Supply Chain

Discovering New Features

There are a lot of features I didn't know CalcuQuote has and that was good. I've had a fun time!

Mercedes Nihart | Purchasing Manager

Expert Tips and Tricks

I picked a lot of tips and tricks along the way and got to work with several industry experts to get their feedback on how they are using the tool.

Kyle Hungerford | Supply Chain Manager

 

Global Solution Hub

My biggest takeaway from Accelerate is that it's kind of a hub for people from all over the world to come to talk about solutions to similar problems.

Sam Hogg | Senior Program Manager

Valuable Technology Insights

It's seriously been nice to hear and share their experiences and how they are using the technology. Get some ideas on what we could do. So I would highly highly recommend it.

Matt Miers | General Manager

Collaborative Ideas Exchange

My favorite thing is definitely talking to other contract manufacturers that are not regional, so we have competitors regionally, but I'm meeting so many CMs from other states dealing with the same problems but with different solutions. We're just bouncing ideas off each other.

Sam Hogg | Senior Program Manager

Valuable Industry Connections

I would come back to the conference. I picked up a lot of knowledge and got to connect with other industry veterans who have been in the space a lot longer than me.

Kyle Hungerford | Supply Chain Manager

 

Quoting in Minutes

A 100-line item BOM that used to take approximately two hours to price out now takes only 10-15 minutes with CalcuQuote.

Scott Regnier | Process Engineer

 

Engaging Industry Think Tank

I would recommend Accelerate conference because there is a lot of value to come out here and really to get into think tank with like-minded people: industry leaders, product team from CQ. Also the user community; speaking with them and hearing their challenges is cathartic in a lot of ways, and it creates a sense of community.

Chris de Leon | CEO

Better Takeaway

 

This group is really special, it's a small group. You get a lot more of the customer feedback of the pain points and what they're really seeing, what they really need for next steps, and it just gives us a better takeaway of what we should then be talking to our internal teams about for investment and future state, so that's what I like about it.

Margaret Cunha | Senior Director of Business Development

 

Valuable Strategic Insights

I attended Accelerate last year, and I got a lot out of it. So this year I obviously wanted to come back, and I had to sell the team some higher-level decision-makers to tag along with me this time. It's all due to what I got out the last year and the high-level, big picture, macro view of some of the problems.

Sam Hogg | Senior Program Manager

Industry Knowledge and Networking

I would come back to the conference. I picked up a lot of knowledge, not only on the tool itself but getting to connect with other industry veterans who have been in the space a lot longer than me. I've got to see their side of how their business works in terms of distribution.

Kyle Hungerford | Supply Chain Manager

 

Meaningful In-Person Connections

One key takeaway to share from this conference is the one that gets back to people factor. We all resort to meeting each other remote online, having webinars which is all great, but there is a difference when you make an extra effort to travel to see gathering of people from different locations. It gives you a bigger sense of purpose.

Chris de Leon | CEO

Valuable Networking Opportunities

Out of the conference, I got to meet a lot of cool people. Specifically, I did meet one other EMS owner, and I'm excited to start talking to him. We're both on the hunt for good MES (Manufacturing Execution System) software. This other person is also interested in new ideas and has the exact same pain points. It'll be nice to connect and see what we decide on.

Raj Vora | Manufacturing Engineer

 

Inspiring Community and Culture

About Accelerate I like that it's nice to meet the extended community and know that there is that type of culture that I am trying to recreate in my company; it's nice to see that you guys are effectively able to do. I would recommend Accelerate conference because there is a lot of value to come out here and really to get into think tank with like-minded people.

Chris de Leon | CEO

Infectious Company Culture

The culture you are building in your company is clear to see and quite infectious! Your customers understand the value and welcome the warmth, fun and experience you provide to them in your product and in your people!

Margaret Cunha | Senior Director of Business Development

Effective Problem-Solving

It's it's good to see some of the common problems that people are having. We're having some of the same issues that they are but then it seems like all those problems CalcuQuote has the answers almost for or knows about them and is working on them.

Benjamin Leclair | Program Manager

My Journey to CalcuQuote

I started my journey been going to IPC events, SMTA events, and then from that journey, it brought us to CalcuQuote. We've decided and launched CalcuQuote internally, and then the next step was to be part of the CalcuQuote events and organizations. We can learn what we don't know and become better.

Jay Patel | CEO

 

Worth the Investment

Come and spend the time, it's worth the investment, not only for what you learn from the CalcuQuote team, but what you learn from the other folks in the industry that are living the same pain points that you're living.

Margaret Cunha | Senior Director of Business Development

 

Streamlined Productivity

CalcuQuote only made my team more productive by bypassing the endless variations of the process and getting to the questions that really mattered.

Robert Donavan | CEO

Industry Expertise

It was easy to see that countless projects completed by CalcuQuote have given them the experience to not only get the work done but shorten the effort by already knowing the best way to go about it.

Robert Donavan | CEO

Innovative and User-Friendly

To someone who hasn't been using CalcuQuote for the start, I would tell that CalcuQuote sells itself. Anyone who costed a BOM themselves, which I've done for many years, it's an easy sell. It's the user interface and the innovations that are constantly coming out keeps you up with the times.

Chris de Leon | CEO

Efficiency Through Seamless Integration

The seamless connection between quoting and purchasing is particularly useful and time-saving.

Scott Regnier | Process Engineer

 

Essential Quoting Software

If I had a friend who was maybe interested in CalcuQuote, I would tell them if you're not using software to quote, you're not quoting correctly. If you're not using software to quote; start because then once you get one feature, you will start looking at the next feature and every day you might capture something.

Raj Vora | Manufacturing Engineer

 

New Supply Chain Perspective

I've been a CalcuQuote customer for several years now. It has changed the way we quote and interact with our supply chain. It's giving us a new perspective on how our supply chain behaves in the way of lead times and allocations. I would recommend to take a look at CalcuQuote!

Alfonso Cartagena | Director of Information Technology

 

Exceptional Customer Support

My favorite thing about CalcuQuote is the CalcuQuote team truly and how responsive they are. When I have trouble, whether it's a feature I would like to see or something that's not quite working. The customer support team is there and willing to help and resolve the issue quickly so that I don't feel alone facing this trouble and getting frustrated.

Cara Knott | Material Cost Manager

Inspiring Support

Hi CalcuQuote Team, Your support has been invaluable. Thank you for being a source of inspiration.

Moti Ben-Zur | Director of Quality and Engineering

 

Cost-Effective Quote Management

Our experience so far with CalcuQuote has been fantastic, the customer service is amazing but most of all what you will get out of it is a quote managment system at very bare minimum. With their low cost, even if you don't use every single feature, if you just have quote management software that can manage it at the indivisual part number level, you will already start saving money in time instantly.

Raj Vora | Manufacturing Engineer

 

Streamlined Quoting Efficiency

We are seeing measurable ROI from CalcuQuote. We recently were working on a project where we needed to quote 20 different assemblies for a customer, each with unique quantity requirements and a three-week deadline. CalcuQuote’s multi-quantity quoting, real-time distributor inventory awareness, and attrition management enabled us to meet this demand efficiently, reinforcing our commitment to an exceptional customer experience.

Monica Wallace | Supply Chain Supervisor

 

Quoting Process Transformation

Partnering with CalcuQuote has revolutionized our quoting process. What once required the use of four separate tools—two spreadsheets, an in-house system, and a cloud platform—has been streamlined into a single, efficient cloud- based solution. This transformation slashed our quote turnaround time by an impressive 40%, enabling us to respond to opportunities faster than ever before.

Andrew Williams | Director of Product Engagement

 

Faster Learning Together

Then you get like-minded people together, we all can get to the place that we want to go a lot faster by relying on each other and learning from each other.

Jay Patel | CEO

 

Conference Young Vibes

 

CalcuQuote keeps it really fresh, really raw, which I like. It's got a real young vibe.

Margaret Cunha | Senior Director of Business Development

 

Team That Invests in Our Success

 

We could see that CalcuQuote’s team cared about customers as much as we do. From leadership down to support, they were invested in our success. That made the decision easier.

Mario Soosaipillai | Chief Financial Officer 

 

Fast and Smooth Onboarding

 

The onboarding process was remarkably smooth and fast. After just a few hours of training, we were able to complete and send out our first quote.
