Global Automotive Components and Systems Company Engages aPriori to Streamline Quoting

The company’s advanced exhaust and emissions control systems division will work with aPriori in this first phase.

Want to ensure that your goals are achievable and that you get the best outcome with a software vendor? Be a good partner in that engagement. It’s what happened between this new customer and aPriori.

With approximately 70,000 employees and various operations worldwide, the company provides a wide range of automotive components and systems. Its customers include major OEMs across the globe.

The company will begin its aPriori deployment within its advanced exhaust and emissions control systems division. This division’s products are essential for meeting regulatory standards and enhancing vehicle performance.

Currently, it is challenged by complex, time-consuming quotes for new exhaust systems requested by leading OEMs. The process takes up to eight weeks to complete, often with many changes. As a result, quote accuracy, response time, and final price confidence are compromised.

Additionally, this division has faced stiff competition from smaller companies in recent years, which has reduced their market share. In mid-2024, the company identified the necessity for a more efficient and impactful quoting solution to help retain its market-leading position.

That’s where aPriori came in. Our AI-powered design and sourcing insights ensure that cost targets are met faster and with more precision. Additionally, our automated quoting tool streamlines the process and ensures that all teams are working from consistent, centralized data.

As a result, customers foster stronger supplier relationships, identify the right supplier with the right capabilities in the right location, and accelerate quoting times, which leads to more wins.
