Personalized Costing Modeling Session + Custom Tools + Expert Guidance + Certification
Why tailored costing platforms fall short
Software quote pricing platforms used by EMS manufacturers mainly produce noise to mask internal EMS supplier costs. Inaccurate and incomplete solutions sets are incorporated. Most platforms and tools for assessing component availability and quote pricing of programs in the contract electronics industry are crafted to serve the interests of third-party suppliers, vendors, EMS manufacturers, and electronics distributors.
