What's New in CalcuQuote: March 2025

It’s been a big season at CalcuQuote! From workflow enhancements to supplier collaboration tools, we’ve rolled out exciting updates across QuoteCQ, ShopCQ, and DevCQ. Here’s a closer look at what’s new, grouped by application to help you find the features that matter most to your team.


What's New in QuoteCQ? 

✨ Project-Level Files 

Upload and manage documents directly at the RFQ/Project level, not just at the line level. Whether it’s specs, compliance forms, or supplier guidelines—it’s all in one place.

Why it’s great: Your team gets faster access to what they need without digging through files.

✨ Set PLA Bid Sheet Start and Expiration Dates

Define when your bids start and when they end with more control than ever. No more guessing or misaligned timelines with your suppliers when gathering PLA pricing. 

Why it’s great: Keeps your team and your suppliers aligned with clear expectations.

✨ BOM Scrub Integration with Scrub My BOM

Now integrated directly into QuoteCQ, Scrub My BOM lets you instantly retrieve part data like lifecycle status, RoHS, and datasheet links during the BOM import process.

Why it’s great: Better decisions start with better data—now built right into your workflow.

 

✨ DocParser: CSV and Excel Support

DocParser can now handle both CSV and Excel files, making BOM uploads easier regardless of the format.

Why it’s great: No more reformatting—just drag, drop, and get to work.

🛒 ShopCQ Updates

✨ TI Quote ID in Backlog

When pricing is pulled from Texas Instruments via API, the corresponding Quote ID now shows up in your backlog.

Why it’s great: It’s all about traceability—now you know exactly where pricing came from and can back it up if needed.

✨ Improved Demand Screen Filters

We’ve enhanced performance on the Demand screen to make filtering faster and more responsive—especially with large datasets.

Why it’s great: Spend less time waiting and more time making decisions.


 

🔧 DevCQ / OpenAPI Enhancements

✨ OpenAPIs for PLAQuote

We’ve added new OpenAPI endpoints so you can programmatically access PLAQuote data—perfect for automation and custom integrations.

Why it’s great: It unlocks flexibility for teams who want to scale or integrate quoting into other systems.

✨ Supplier Endpoint Updates

New and improved API endpoints for supplier details make it easier to manage your supplier data with precision and speed.

Why it’s great: More API power = more control and cleaner data pipelines.

 


🛠️ Platform-Wide Updates

✨ Increased Character Limit on Company Addresses

We’ve expanded the allowed length of address fields in your company profile.

Why it’s great: Now even the world’s longest street names won’t hold you back.
