How Finishing Companies Can Use Modern Software to Overcome Quoting Challenges

June 08, 2021 |

Are you quoting based on incomplete data and uncertainty around volumes and lead times? Do you know if you are quoting the same parts more than once? It can be like a game of telephone to try to understand what the end buyer is looking for. And often, you may not even know you won a job until the part shows up on your doorstep. This makes planning hard and quoting quickly even harder.
