PolyDyne Software Inc. Company Overview
April 28, 2000; Austin, Texas: PolyDyne Software Inc. (PolyDyne) provides the electronics manufacturing marketplace with the industry solution to quote processing needs: the eWin Product Suite, the only quote processing software solution with elements customized for the OEM, contract manufacturer and component supplier segments of the marketplace.
Industry leaders such as Arrow Electronics, Flextronics, ON Semiconductor (formerly Motorola) and SCI systems have used PolyDyne products to increase profits while reducing product costs and development expenses. Users also gain a distinct competitive advantage by increasing quote throughput productivity and eliminating manual-entry errors.
The eWin Product Suite comprises three individual software packages:
• QuoteWin®: the most powerful and robust quote processing tool availableto contract manufacturers.
Considered the standard in the industry, QuoteWin allows users to cut their cycle time to less than 3 days
while increasing their productivity by over 30%. The efficiency leads directly to a higher number of quotes
processed and won. Customers include more than half of the top 50 contract manufactures in the US,
Asia, Europe and Mexico.
• SupplyWin™: the complement to QuoteWin designed specifically for component suppliers.
Manufacturers and distributors use SupplyWin to interface directly with the contract manufacturer’s
QuoteWin systems, further speeding quote turn-around time and accuracy through automation. SupplyWin is
installed at 85% of the top 20 distributors in North America, with over 80 locations in North America.
• DesignWin™: the only quote-processing tool designed exclusively for OEMs.
This extensive quote software facilitates the outsourcing and component costing processes by using
real-time data to test and validate pricing strategies, and interfaces directly with QuoteWin
to complete the electronics manufacturing quote chain.
PolyDyne has been providing these groundbreaking quote-processing software tools to the electronics manufacturing industry from its headquarters in Austin, Texas since 1993. PolyDyne’s founder and president David Tabb identified the need for an industry solution to quote processing while working for a Fortune 100 company and gaining experience with OEMs and contract manufacturers.
Today, PolyDyne continues to drive development that will lead the way for supply chain management solutions into the future. Recent developments include PolyNet, a full-featured Value-Added Network that uses the latest and most secure Internet technology available. PolyNet was developed exclusively for PolyDyne’s QuoteWin and SupplyWin customers to provide high-quality, lower cost VAN service. It offers customers a proven communications provider with guaranteed flexibility and better customer service. The PolyDyne Extended Resource Quoting (PERQs) application was developed specifically for emerging contract manufacturers who are looking for an affordable entry point into the QuoteWin system.
PolyDyne prides itself on the level of customer support they offer and encourages customer feedback to learn about the industry’s needs. This information flows directly into development of new products. The company also hosts annual user conferences where customers can review beta versions of product developments and directly impact the direction of R&D.
PolyDyne stays in the forefront of development and service by implementing new and innovative technologies impacting the electronics manufacturing industry. The company is driven by a desire to create and implement solutions that impact industry processes and create new standards of excellence. These aims are achieved through close collaboration with strategic alliances such as Oracle, AT&T and Centura and allow the company to create new standards of excellence and positively impact the industry.
