Understanding How We Price Your Custom Cable Assemblies: A Guide for Our Customers

Our goal is to provide clarity on our pricing process and ensure that you have all the necessary information to receive an accurate and competitive quote.

The Importance of Information

To begin crafting a detailed and precise price quote, we need specific information from you. Here’s what you should provide us:

1. Prints and Bill of Materials (BOM): Supply us with accurate and matching prints and BOMs for each build. This helps us understand the materials and components required.
2. Revision Notes: If there are any updates or changes to the initial design, please include revision notes. These ensure we are quoting based on the latest specifications.
3. Manufacturer and Part Numbers: Include the manufacturer’s name and part numbers alongside your own part numbers. If needed, we can assist in researching parts to ensure the best options are used.
4. Specification Requirements: Clearly state any specific requirements such as assembly, cleaning, or packaging specifications. Special requirements might influence the complexity and labor involved.
5. Quantity and Volume Pricing: Specify the quantity required and whether you’re interested in volume pricing. Volume requests can significantly impact pricing due to potential discounts.
6. Lead-Time Needs: Inform us of any lead-time requirements, particularly if expedited delivery is necessary. Quick turnarounds may involve additional costs due to expedited supplier shipping and internal scheduling.

Factors Influencing Pricing

Understanding the factors that affect pricing will help you appreciate how we build your quote:

• Material Costs: The cost of materials is a primary factor. We source components from multiple suppliers to secure competitive rates. Prices depend on the unit cost, available volume discounts, and the availability of materials.
• Labor Costs: Labor expenses are calculated based on the time required to assemble your custom cables. More complex designs require more time, impacting the overall labor cost. Our efficient processes and historical data guide us in estimating these costs accurately.
• Complexity of Design: The intricacy of your cable assembly can affect the price. Designs needing specialized tooling or testing will incur additional costs. We assess each design carefully to allocate the necessary resources.
• Volume Discounts: If you’re considering higher quantities, we explore volume discounts with our suppliers. These can lead to reduced costs per unit, making our pricing more favorable for larger orders.

Our Approach to Value Communication

We aim to help you understand the value encapsulated in our pricing:

• Quality Assurance: We highlight the quality of our materials and the expertise involved in the assembly process. Our commitment to meeting strict industry standards underscores the value we offer.
• Customer Education: We offer resources like informative articles and case studies to help demystify the pricing process. This education builds trust and aids in making informed decisions.
