QuoteWin 4.0 Installation Impacts Quoting Process at O-E-M Worldwide
Austin, TX – March 22, 1999 – Installation of PolyDyne® Development Corporation’s QuoteWin 4.0 quote management software at the offices of O-E-M Worldwide in Watertown, South Dakota is positively impacting internal quoting processes and streamlining communication, adding value and providing flexibility for quote data evaluation.
Since installation of QuoteWin 4.0 in December of 1998, O-E-M Worldwide has reduced cycle time, completed semi-annual contract negotiations using quote data and initiated SupplyWin connections with their valued suppliers to initiate an internal quoting process of immediate data exchange and increased productivity, according to Joe Bjerke, Purchasing Manager at O-E-M Worldwide.
“The process change has been like night and day to us,” said Bjerke. “Using QuoteWin has replaced our cumbersome process of hand faxing RFQs and manually inputting data to a completely streamlined process of immediate (electronic) data transfer. Using quote data for our semi-annual contract negotiations gave us valuable information that we previously had not been able to access immediately.”
Complete quote process improvement and utilizing data for profitable business decisions are realities for contract manufacturers who implement QuoteWin, according to PolyDyne Development Corp. president David Tabb.
“Our customers report immediate improvement in cycle time, reduction of materials costs and increase in revenue upon implementation of QuoteWin,” said Tabb. “Our customers are continuously demonstrating new and powerful ways they effectively use QuoteWin to manipulate pricing data specific to their internal processes and overall business goals. Reducing the cost of business operations and increasing profit and sales margins is something QuoteWin customers can expect when they install our software and experience the paradigm shift of manual quote manipulation to automated, electronic and customized quote manipulation.”
