CalcuQuote
AI score: 86 / 100
Exceptional for SMB
Quoting and BOM management plugin for EMS / PCBA shops
Type: plug-ins / best-of-breed · Tech: modern · Budget: incidental ($0–$10k/yr)
Core verticals: PCBA / EMS, electronics
Functions: sales / CRM, engineering / PLM, purchasing, digital / e-commerce
The leading quoting tool for electronics contract manufacturers. Connects to component distributors for real-time pricing. Integrates with Cetec ERP and others. Not a full ERP, a best-of-breed quoting layer.
editor's note: This is a plugin, not a standalone ERP. Pairs with Cetec, Manex, or other EMS-focused ERPs. If you're quoting PCBAs in spreadsheets, this is the single highest-ROI tool to add.
Industry-standard EMS quoting plugin, AI-driven BOM cleanup, Gerber reading, 40+ supplier integrations, and strong Capterra reviews; only meaningful penalty is no published pricing.
