The award recognizes CalcuQuote’s continued focus on delivering practical, scalable tools
CalcuQuote, a leading supply chain solutions provider for the electronics industry, has been named a 2026 New Product Introduction (NPI) Award winner in the Software–Management category for its Price List Agreement (PLA) workflow.
The award recognizes CalcuQuote’s continued focus on delivering practical, scalable tools that modernize supply chain management for electronics manufacturers worldwide.
CalcuQuote’s PLA workflow transforms what has traditionally been a fragmented, spreadsheet- and email-driven sourcing process into a centralized, automated workflow. By allowing users to upload demand forecasts and automatically issue RFQs to multiple suppliers, the platform brings structure, repeatability, and scalability to volume pricing negotiations.
Workflow
The workflow is designed for efficiency and visibility. Users import demand forecasts using Excel or CSV files or push them into CalcuQuote’s application via API. From there, the system helps issue RFQs tailored to each supplier using highly configurable line cards and commodity classifications.
Suppliers respond through a collaboration workspace using standardized templates, eliminating inconsistent formatting and manual data consolidation. The system supports multi-round negotiations, automated award selection, centralized tracking, and real-time bid comparisons filtered by price, minimum order quantity, lead time, manufacturer, authorized status, country,
By digitizing and consolidating supplier communications, PLA reduces administrative overhead while improving traceability and auditability. All forecasts, RFQs, supplier responses, and awards are stored in a structured, cloud-based system, providing historical visibility and enabling future re-negotiations as demand shifts.
Innovation
Winners for the NPI Awards are selected by an independent panel of practicing engineers who evaluate entries based on innovation, functionality, and measurable impact on manufacturing operations.
