MARKETS — AUTOMOTIVE
Move from RFQ to Production at Automotive Speed
Respond faster to high RFQ volumes, improve costing accuracy, manage engineering changes, and accelerate new program launches — while maintaining consistent processes across every facility and region you run.
WHY HARNESS SUITE
Stay Aligned with Your Customers’ Quality Requirements
Support IATF 16949 and APQP-driven processes through controlled revisions, traceability, standardized production documentation, and disciplined change management.
#01
High RFQ volume absorbed without adding estimators — templates, price books and reusable cost structures.
#02
Engineering changes controlled by revision, not by email — every change traceable to the print it came from.
#03
Consistent process across plants, languages and currencies from one connected platform.
CAPABILITIES
Built for Program Volume and Program Change
One connected platform that keeps automotive programs moving when RFQ volume spikes, programs multiply and engineering changes keep coming.
Program-Speed Quoting
Price a multi-variant platform from one structured input set instead of eight spreadsheets.
- Reusable cost structures by platform and variant
- Live material and labor costing at quote time
- Volume break pricing across annual release quantities
- Customer price books applied automatically by account
Change Control That Keeps Up
Engineering changes flow through costing, documentation and the floor without re-keying.
- Revision control on every print, BOM and spec
- Change impact visible before the quote is re-issued
- Full history on who changed what, and when
- Approved changes released straight into production
WHERE PROGRAMS LEAK MARGIN
The Cost of a Program Is Set Before the First Harness Is Built.
Most automotive harness margin is won or lost in the days between the RFQ arriving and the quote going out — and again in every engineering change after it. Harness Suite carries validated data forward instead of asking your team to rebuild it at each stage.
- Material and labor costing from current sources, not last year's sheet
- Engineering outputs generated from the quoted configuration
- Work orders pulled from your ERP, batched and sequenced
- Actual labor versus standard, tracked by job through the plant
ALSO INCLUDED
Built for the Details That Slow Down Automotive Programs
Multi-Plant Consistency
One process, one cost logic, across every facility and region.
Multi-Currency Quoting
Quote and cost in the customer's currency without a side calculation.
Prototype to Production
Carry the prototype build forward instead of re-entering it.
Launch Documentation
Standardized, multilingual production documentation generated from approved data.
From Quote to Harness Board — Built from the Same Data.
Every completed harness on the line traces back to the configuration that was quoted and the revision that was released. No re-drawn boards, no rebuilt documentation, no guessing which version is on the bench — the routing, the cut lengths and the connector callouts all came forward from the same connected record.
