This global toy company works with a vast and complex network of vendors, suppliers, and contract manufacturers to turn their ideas into fun for kids. Their highly seasonal business along with multiple iterations of product design creates a challenging environment to quickly and accurately calculate costs. Their quoting process – enabled by spreadsheets – was bogged down with manual, disjointed activities and distrust of cost estimates that created blind spots for both the internal team and their vendor partners.
With ImpactECS, the company established a quoting that centralized BOM cost and historical quote data, provided accurate product cost answers, standardized quoting activities across departments, and improved communications and negotiations with vendors.
