PolyDyne Software Selected by Flextronics International for Strategic Sourcing Solution
February 12, 2001; Austin, Texas: – PolyDyne Software, a world leader in e-commerce, supply chain software tools for OEMs, CEMs, and component suppliers, announced today that Flextronics International has completed implementation of QuoteWin®, a strategic sourcing tool for contract manufacturers.
Flextronics has installed the industry-leading solution for supply chain management and quote processing in strategic quoting centers in Europe and Asia. Using the same quote processing system has kept the company’s quoting process efficient, consistent and globally competitive.
By standardizing their quoting process with the QuoteWin solution Flextronics has gained valuable synergy across their global manufacturing sites. QuoteWin has allowed Flextronics to quote business competitively in any part of the world by sharing intelligent market information among their sites.
Earlier last year Flextronics, one of the top four largest global contract manufacturing companies in the electronics industry, merged with the Dii Group (Dovatron). Dovatron has relied on QuoteWin to manage its quoting process for the past five years and was one of the first companies to adopt PolyDyne’s quoting tool.
Having seen first-hand what Dovatron has been able to accomplish by using QuoteWin, Flextronics felt that it was only logical to adopt the system as their quote processing solution.
Flextronics has started to experience similar results utilizing the QuoteWin solution: reduced quote cycle time, increased productivity, and reduced material costs.
QuoteWin is also known for its ability to improve operating efficiencies, which results in increased customer retention.
David Tabb, president and CEO of PolyDyne, summed up the importance of the implementation. “We are very excited that Flextronics has added value to their quoting process by using the QuoteWin solution. This adoption by one of the leaders in contract manufacturing reinforces PolyDyne’s position as a market leader in strategic sourcing solutions in the electronics industry,” he said.
