CalcuQuote Enhances Automated Volume Price Negotiation Feature to Streamline Forecast-Based Sourcing
DALLAS, TX – CalcuQuote, a leading supply chain solutions provider for the electronics industry, is excited to announce that it has improved its automated volume price negotiation capability. This innovative feature helps electronics OEMs and EMS providers efficiently negotiate and secure pricing based on forecasted demand, dramatically simplifying one of the most time-consuming and critical aspects of strategic sourcing.
In a market where supply chain predictability and cost control are essential, CalcuQuote’s solution empowers purchasing teams with the tools to automate annual and volume-based pricing negotiations. By leveraging accurate demand forecasts and centralized supplier communication, the system delivers faster turnarounds, improved supplier alignment, and long-term cost savings.
Additional benefits to the upgraded feature include:

- Increased cost and risk visibility/transparency across the sourcing process
“This enhanced capability reflects our continued commitment to digitizing and optimizing the electronics supply chain,” said Kurt Gehring, VP of Product. “With automated volume price negotiation, our customers can streamline sourcing strategies, strengthen supplier partnerships, and make smarter, more proactive purchasing decisions.”
The feature integrates directly into CalcuQuote’s quoting and procurement ecosystem, enabling users to:
- Automatically send structured RFQs to suppliers based on projected volumes or annual demand
- Evaluate pricing tiers and supplier responses in real-time
- Compare offers across multiple scenarios
- Lock in negotiated pricing to support future builds and minimize manual entry errors
Already embraced by several leading electronics manufacturers, the feature has shown significant time savings in multi-line sourcing events and has improved the consistency of pricing across high-volume parts.
