Quoting Platform Evaluation Guide

Twenty-four questions across six criteria that every EMS should be asking their procurement platform.

Written for shops between 25 and 150 people, where the same handful of people do everything.
Includes the criteria we lose on, named, with the type of shop that should choose differently.

Every question is one you can put to a vendor directly, phrased so a vague answer is obvious.
No form fields beyond name, work email and company. Nothing about budget or timeline.

Performance figures, benchmarks, win-rate ranges, and ROI examples in these materials are illustrative. They reflect industry research, aggregated customer data, and modeled scenarios, and are provided to explain how quote speed can affect competitive outcomes. They are not a promise or guarantee of specific results. Actual results depend on your bill of materials, data quality, sourcing conditions, market pricing, and how your team uses the platform, and they will vary.

The 60-Minute Quote Challenge returns a complete, priced quote in 60 minutes or less for most submitted BOMs. Completion time depends on BOM size, complexity, file format, and data completeness. Some BOMs, including those with significant custom, proprietary, or engineering-dependent content, require additional time. Where that happens, Breadboard explains the exceptions and delivers the remaining quote.
