To offer the most cost-competitive solutions, CEMS uses the most powerful quote processing tools available and combined with CEMS Program Managers help cut material and production costs and streamline communication, making a positive impact on your profit margins and corporate growth.

CEMS uses innovation and the newest technologies to automate and optimize the sourcing of direct material and intelligently manage the entire sourcing project via the Internet, including pre-negotiation, RFQ processing, spend analysis, commodity management, supplier strategy, business analytics and purchase order generation. By utilizing this state-of-the-art technology, the time CEMS saves in quoting and procuring material results in product saving for you.

CEMS automated purchasing processes are executed locally and are tightly linked with our global commodity management processes, supplier networks and hub programs. Our global procurement strategy, drawing on established relationships with qualified suppliers around the world, permits us to purchase components where costs are lowest. Our procurement staff compiles a complete pre-production BOM evaluation detailing minimum order quantities (MOQ), standard pack quantities (SPQ), component lead times, and cost estimates ensuring your product release and costs meet time-to-market demands. In addition, CEMS works with the supply base to inform you of material that is obsolete or going end of life (EOL) and works toward a Qualified Vendor List (QVL) to increase the China content and reduce your product cost.

If your supply chain solution requires product to be produced domestically CEMS has the flexibility to move materials from China providing you with opportunities for material cost savings by leveraging your total material demands.

Increase your global supply chain strength and reduce your costs by allowing CEMS to give you the complete cost competitive advantage you need.
