Streamlining Quoting: Dorigo Systems Case Study
In a recent interview with Kin Leong, IS / IT Manager at Dorigo Systems, we delved into the collaborative journey of Dorigo, a leading electronics manufacturing services provider, as they strategically partnered with CalcuQuote to revolutionize their supply chain management and streamline the Request for Quote (RFQ) process, marking a significant transformation in their operations.
Dorigo Systems, based in Burnaby, British Columbia, has been serving the industry for over 35 years, but like many companies, it faced challenges in modernizing its quoting process. Here’s how CalcuQuote is helping Dorigo Systems streamline operations and stay competitive.

Challenge
Dorigo Systems’ quotation process was highly manual and labor-intensive, consuming approximately 15 man-hours to compile a single quote. This process was not only costly but also inefficient. With
many quotes being discarded, it became evident that they needed a more streamlined approach.
Additionally, the valuable data generated during the quoting process often remained trapped on paper, making it challenging to leverage in other departments like supply chain and procurement.
Objective
Solution and implementation
One of the critical factors that drew Dorigo to CalcuQuote was the platform’s flexibility. Dorigo Systems considered themselves unique in their industry, but Kin Leong realized that the core of the quotation process is consistent across the board. The real differentiator is how efficiently they manage the business and remain competitive.
Traditional methods, even with online tools like DigiKey, were often cumbersome, time-consuming, and limited to specific vendors’ offerings. CalcuQuote offered the automation and integration they sought.
Results
in their quoting process:
- Rapid Turnaround: With CalcuQuote’s intuitive interface and automation, Dorigo can now provide quotes in record time. What used to take days or even weeks can now be
accomplished in hours or minutes. This change has allowed them to meet customer demands for quicker responses and remain competitive. - Data-Driven Insights: Dorigo now leverages CalcuQuote’s BOM Health feature to provide customers with valuable insights into the health of their bills of materials. This capability
is particularly critical in today’s supply chain challenges, giving Dorigo’s customers a competitive edge - Improved Collaboration: CalcuQuote enhances collaboration between Dorigo Systems and its customers, offering them a value-added service that goes beyond traditional manufacturing. This strengthens customer relationships and positions Dorigo as a leader in the industry.
Future plans
Dorigo Systems’ journey with CalcuQuote exemplifies the shift towards digitization in the manufacturing industry. The platform’s ease of use, automation capabilities, and integration possibilities make it a powerful tool for modernizing operations and staying competitive.
In conclusion, the partnership between Dorigo Systems and CalcuQuote demonstrates how embracing technology and digital solutions can not only streamline processes but also empower companies to offer superior services to their customers. As the electronics manufacturing industry continues to evolve, a digitized supply chain will be a key driver of success, and CalcuQuote is leading the way.
