QUOTING MADE SIMPLE

QUOTING MADE SIMPLE

For an EMS, quoting is a major drain on resources.  Since even the most successful company sees less than half of quotes turn to business, this has an enormous effect on the company's bottom line.  Quotes which are sent out too late often result in lost business that could and should have been won.  BOM Connector was design to change this. 
A day in the life of...

The Quoting Engineer

The quoting department is often made up of specially trained "quoting specialists" , but can also be staffed with purchasers performing a dual-function in the company. Either way, the job is a challenging one.  Similar to the purchaser, the quoting engineer must deal with myriad pricing, coming from numerous suppliers.  Prices are subject to change at short notice any of a number of factors can change market conditions dramatically. 
Add to this the fact that quoting is usually done under time constraints. And a simple re-design can set the entire process back signifcantly. 
With BOM Connector's BC-QUOTE module, users can reduce the time required to create a quotation by 75% or more.  Prototype quotations can often be done in mere minutes thanks to functions like DistiDirect and the Best Price engine. 

By streamlining previsously manual tasks such as BOM import and scrubbing and saving settings into a Customer Info Set, repeat quoting is accelerated based on the motto "what I did once i shouldnt have to do again" and its even more powerful twin - "what a member of my team has done once, no member should have to do again".

BC-QUOTE

Check out what BC-QUOTE can do for you.
BOM CLEANUP
Customer BOMs come in all "shapes and sizes" and often require considerable cleanup and scrubbing before they are "quote-ready". BOM Connector's powerful scrubbing tools eliminate a major headache.
  
ERP INTEGRATION
Often internal stocks can be used and parts don't need to be priced. Pre-negotiated prices are pulled directly from ERP using BC-LINK.  This can save the quoting department considerable time and effort.
  
FIND THE "BEST PRICE"
The rules-based Best Price engine selects the best supplier based on pre-saved templates. This allows a high degree of automation, particularly in the prototype phase.
  
RECALCULATION
Between quote and order signicant time can go by. Paricularly these days that can result is large price differentials. BOM Connector "REPRICE" feature can identify price changes, currency fluctuations or other issues that effect the bottom line.
  
PRODUCTION COSTS
Production costs can make up 25% or more of the total costs.  BOM Connector's Production Cost Calculator can give a complete roll-up of all process, production and project-related costs.  And all in one tool!
  
REPORTING
Whether from sales to management and all in between, it seems like everyone wants a report form the quoting department. With BOM Connector a powerful template-based reporting tool makes creating these a snap.
