CalcuQuote + Cetec ERP = Seamlessly connected

A Global Collaboration on Integration

A diverse group of professionals, including attendees from Europe, joined the webinar to explore the integration between Cetec ERP and CalcuQuote, offering real-time insights and live interactions. The session provided a comprehensive look into system integrations, highlighting specific use cases in contract manufacturing, especially focusing on PCVA cable wire harness processes.

Simplifying RFQ Management and Supply Chain Automation

Taylor Wagen, CEO of Cetec ERP, introduced the company's solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, focusing on RFQ management and traceability challenges. CalcuQuote's software was designed to optimize the end-to-end RFQ process, providing visibility into stock, price, and lead times—critical for cable and wire harness companies. Both platforms aimed to reduce human intervention in repetitive tasks, enhancing supply chain efficiency.

The Power of APIs: Connecting Systems Effortlessly

A key focus of the webinar was the significance of APIs in integrating systems. APIs were described as the "glue" that allows different software programs to communicate seamlessly, eliminating redundancy and reducing errors. With pre-built APIs, Cetec ERP and CalcuQuote streamline processes like order fulfillment, inventory management, and purchase order creation, minimizing manual effort.

Enhancing Part Management and Procurement Efficiency

One of the challenges discussed was managing part numbers and bill of materials (BOM) revisions in contract manufacturing. The integration between Cetec ERP and CalcuQuote automates these tasks, improving part management and reducing duplicate entries. This efficiency allows manufacturers to quickly respond to changing demands and optimize their procurement cycles.

Conclusion

As Cetec ERP and CalcuQuote continue to refine their integration, they offer businesses a more automated and connected approach to supply chain management. This collaboration reduces manual labor, increases visibility, and simplifies decision-making, ultimately helping companies focus on delivering quality products faster and more efficiently.
