      Integrating Vendor Quote API

      With an ever changing market, price fluctuations occur quicker than ever. A critical problem not only for CalcuQuote customers but also partners!

      A solution is here. CalcuQuote now integrates with certain vendors to tie pricing inquiries with a unique Quote ID that is viewable for customers and vendors. This is currently available for TTI, TI and DigiKey.

      Even better, nothing changes from CalcuQuote users! Your process is the same while improving the relationship with your vendor.

      Here is what will happen:

      1. A CalcuQuote User (QuoteCQ or Shop) will run Update Pricing.

      2. Automatically a Quote ID will be added to each price result. This is viewable in the CQ Price Selector as an additional column.

      3. For both QuoteCQ and ShopCQ, the user will make normal selections made through various methods.

      4. For ShopCQ, the Quote ID will be included on the PO when sent via API to share with your vendor.

      The Quote API(s) secures pricing for 30 days from time of query and allows a continued improved relationship with your rep!

      Keep a look out for more Quote APIs in the future!
