U.S. Midwest-Based Contract Manufacturer Enters Three-Year Engagement with aPriori

aPriori to help streamline quoting and ensure more profitable business for the company’s four manufacturing facilities.

Headquartered in the U.S. Midwest, this contract manufacturer serves industries including power distribution, medical and scientific instruments, and aerospace. Their focus is on making high-quality precision CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, certified welding, finishing, and value-added assemblies.

The company chose aPriori to facilitate a more streamlined quoting process, which was essential to their operational success. Efficient quoting entails speed, accuracy, and the ability to secure more profitable business wins.

aPriori has the capabilities to meet these requirements and ensure a seamless, successful transition. aPriori offers robust quoting capabilities by leveraging digital manufacturing simulation to:

• Rapidly generate accurate and consistent cost models
• Analyze 3D CAD models, utilizing their digital factories to simulate the manufacturing process and what-if scenarios
• Identify potential manufacturability issues and hidden cost drivers

Rather than creating quotes that take days or weeks, manufacturers can respond to RFQs within minutes. Not only can they quote faster, but they can also optimize designs for cost and production and achieve higher win rates and profitability. As a bonus, they gain greater transparency and foster better collaboration with customers and suppliers.

This manufacturer conducted its due diligence, thoroughly evaluating aPriori against their defined set of Required Capabilities. They also assessed other, lower-cost alternative solutions against that same set of Required Capabilities.

They ultimately decided that aPriori’s combination of speed, consistency, accuracy, and industry reputation for delivering on ROI and value was too good to pass up.
