Electronics OEM equipment manufacturers outsourcing product design and manufacturing focus on spend (cost) of contract electronics services fees and pricing. But, there remains no contract electronics provider (or quoting software vendor) today capable of accurate pricing when performing the full quote process that holds the best interest of equipment manufacturers (customers of contract electronics services) in mind.
Third-party quote software vendors serve contract electronics providers, not OEM equipment manufacturers.
The VentureOutsource.com site is changing the tables, shifting control of the information gathering and quote phase management to customers – the electronics OEM equipment manufacturer.
This page contains dozens of links to articles and resources that can help electronic OEM decision makers take control of the request-for-quote (RFQ) and request-for-proposal (RFP) phase when seeking, selecting and engaging contract electronics solutions partners. The content is focused on contact electronics industry best practices (v. practices common in industry).
