Provider of quoting and supply chain software for the EMS industry, CalcuQuote has announced it is building a searchable global directory of PCB manufacturers as part of plans to better connect PCB manufacturers with EMS companies.
CalcuQuote was started with the mission of creating a fast, accurate and efficient quoting process for the Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) industry. The primary problem to solve for a long time was sourcing components on the Bill of Material (BOM). Thanks to the work of industry leaders, it is now easier than ever to quickly source the components on your BOM. API based transactions, adopted by the industry’s largest suppliers, have enabled near instant response for BOMs with hundreds of part numbers.
CalcuQuote is now working on the next evolution of supply chain connectedness: working with “make to order” suppliers such as Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturers.
With hundreds of EMS companies across the globe using the CQ ecosystem process tens of thousands of quotes each month, CalcuQuote says it is in a unique position to help connect the PCB manufacturers with EMS companies.
As a first step in this journey, the company is building a global directory of PCB manufacturers that will be searchable within the CQ ecosystem so users can easily collaborate with their preferred PCB suppliers or discover new partners for a more resilient supply chain.
PCB manufacturers can participate in this directory for free, forever, with the added benefits of showcasing their capabilities, discovering new opportunities and more easily collaborating with their customers, the company said.
“We see this as a win-win scenario for the electronics industry,” says Chintan Sutaria, CEO of CalcuQuote. “The whole industry is expected to be faster, more resilient and more efficient. The only way to meet all of those criteria is to reduce the friction of doing business through innovation.”
