CalcuQuote's Automated Pricing Workflow Wins Industry Recognition
Event summary
- CalcuQuote, a business unit of Elisa Industriq, won the 2026 NPI Award in the Software - Management category for its Price List Agreement (PLA) workflow.
- The PLA workflow automates volume pricing negotiations by integrating demand forecasts and RFQ issuance into a centralized platform.
- The workflow supports over 50 currencies and daily exchange rate updates, targeting mid-market and enterprise sourcing teams.
- CalcuQuote will demonstrate the PLA workflow at APEX EXPO in Anaheim, California, from March 17-19, 2026.
The big picture
The award highlights the growing need for digital transformation within the electronics manufacturing supply chain, where manual processes remain prevalent. CalcuQuote's PLA workflow addresses a significant pain point – the complexity and inefficiency of volume pricing negotiations – which represents a multi-billion dollar market opportunity. Elisa Industriq's acquisition of CalcuQuote positions them to capitalize on this trend, but execution and integration will be key to realizing the full potential.
What we're watching
- Adoption Rate
- The success of Elisa Industriq's CalcuQuote hinges on the platform's adoption rate among electronics manufacturers, particularly given the reliance on existing spreadsheet-based processes.
- Integration Depth
- Further integration of CalcuQuote’s workflow with other enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems will be crucial for maximizing efficiency and demonstrating a broader return on investment for clients.
- Competitive Landscape
- The emergence of competing automated pricing solutions could erode CalcuQuote's market share if the platform fails to continually innovate and address evolving client needs.
