Simplify the Supplier RFQ Process
Breaking down barriers to effective collaboration between manufacturers and suppliers generates rewarding outcomes for both sides of the partnership. Enable uninterrupted collaboration, accelerate RFQ response times and time-to-market while reducing the cost of sales.
 |
Challenge |
Today's request for quote (RFQ) process is hindered by the sharing of files. The manual, time-consuming effort to convert files to a neutral format, reduce file size and fidelity, create partial views to protect IP, while adding risk by uploading to file-sharing sites all inhibits efficiency and security.
 |
Business Impact
|
The inefficient process of sharing 3D CAD data during the time-sensitive RFQ process reduces win rates and increases cost of sales for suppliers, and slows time to market and profitability for OEMs. It also requires costly effort from specialized engineering resources.
 |
Solution |
A scalable and repeatable 3D visualization solution that reduces or eliminates the need to exchange large data files, enables use of high-quality 3D data with low-cost software and hardware regardless of the development platforms, and maintains the security of everyone's intellectual property.

IMPORT ANY 3D MODEL
Upload any major CAD from more than 70 different file formats across multiple software versions, track version history, and take complete control over how you share CAD data.
VISUALIZE COMBINED SOLUTION
Combine your models from any supported format to create a unified full-product Vertex model for collaboration with suppliers and partners.
DIRECT INTEGRATION FROM ANY ENTERPRISE SYSTEM
Directly synchronize product configurations with any PLM or PDM, ensuring your data aligns with your systems of record. (e.g., pull CAD data from PLM and product configuration from ERP.)
In addition, product-related metadata can be synchronized from any enterprise system. (e.g., directly incorporate your ERP pricing information without having to first embed into your CAD system.)
RFQ COLLABORATION
Shared supplier team workspaces allow for easy, secure collaboration between individual supplier and OEM.
VERTEX STORIES
Share 3D snapshots and comment, markup, measure, and cross-section together with your colleagues. Create, track, and resolve issues, attach other file types, and selectively give collaborators access to cross-sectioning, measurement, and model export.
