    Purchase Electronics Component Faster and Smarter

    Real-time purchasing automation for electronics manufacturers. CalcuQuote acts as your intelligent data hub — connecting your ERP, suppliers, and systems through powerful APIs to automate every step of purchasing. Create, modify, and monitor POs with speed, accuracy, and total transparency — all from your ERP or the CalcuQuote UI. 

    Connect your ERP and supplier APIs, enabling automatic PO processes.

    Your ERP holds critical data — but without live supplier connectivity and automation, it’s only half the story. CalcuQuote Purchase bridges that gap, serving as both your data hub and automation engine for electronic component buying.

    CalcuQuote connects your ERP and supplier APIs in real time, giving you a single, connected view of every purchase order and every component you need, across every supplier. So you can move from reactive buying to proactive decision-making.

    Your purchasing automation engine

    Our Purchase solution automates the entire order process — creating, confirming,, modifying, and monitoring POs directly through supplier APIs.

    We take pride in our 99% retention rate. Listen to what our customers say about CQ

    "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 | Delta Group Electronics
    "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 | Altek Electronics
    "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."
