Why Electronics distributors choose Quotery
AI BOM import, parametric part matching, and lifecycle tracking that turns a 200-line quote from an afternoon into something that finishes before your customer hangs up.

Your BOMs Import Themselves
A customer emails a spreadsheet. 187 lines. Manufacturer part numbers mixed with internal codes, a few cells that say "same as above," and line 143 that is just "capacitor." Another sends a PDF exported from Oracle. A third texts a photo of a whiteboard from the morning standup. Your inside sales team copies, pastes, searches, guesses. Three hours later they have matched maybe 70 percent of it.
Quotery reads BOMs in any format. A spreadsheet. A PDF. A screenshot from SAP. An email body that someone typed by hand. The AI maps every line to your catalog. Exact MPN matches resolve instantly. Partial matches surface alternates ranked by confidence. Lines it cannot resolve land in a review queue with the closest candidates already pre-sorted. No data entry. No cross-referencing across six browser tabs.
A 200-line BOM finishes while the customer is still on the phone explaining what they need. Your sales team replies to the email with the quote attached instead of a promise to "get back to you tomorrow."
Parametric Search That Finds Parts Your Customers Cannot Name
Engineers think in parameters. 10k ohm. 0603 package. 1 percent tolerance. X7R dielectric. When they email "I need a resistor for a sensor front-end, low noise is important," your team has to translate intent into a part number across a catalog of four million SKUs. The search takes ten minutes. The callback asking for clarification takes another hour. The customer is already pricing alternatives on Octopart while they wait.
Every product in Quotery carries structured parametric attributes. Resistance, capacitance, voltage rating, package type, tolerance, temperature coefficient, dielectric type. All searchable. All filterable in combination. A sales rep types "10uF ceramic 25V 0805 X7R" and sees every matching part across every line card in under a second. The system ranks results by availability and margin, not alphabetically.
Your customer asks a vague question and gets a quote with the exact part they meant. No callback. No clarification loop. No reason to check Digi-Key.
Obsolescence That Does Not Ambush Your Customer's Production Line
A part goes NRND in Q1. End of Life in Q2. Unobtainable by Q3. Your customer has 12,000 units scheduled for Q4. The last time buy window closed while the notification email sat unread in a procurement inbox three job changes ago. The redesign costs north of $200,000. The contract manufacturer idles a line for six weeks. Everyone blames the distributor.
Quotery tracks lifecycle status on every product in your catalog and cross-references it against open quotes. When a part transitions from Active to NRND, every quote line that depends on it gets flagged. When it hits EOL with a last time buy date, an alert fires. Your team notifies the customer before the window closes, quote in hand, quantities pre-calculated from their order history. The system does not wait for someone to notice.
The customer places the last time buy through you. Their line keeps running. You booked revenue that would have gone to a broker on the gray market at 3x markup. Nobody has to explain a line-down situation to a VP of Operations.
Alternate Sourcing That Wins on Margin Without Sacrificing Spec
The same op-amp ships from TI, STMicro, and onsemi. Your customer specified TI out of habit. TI is at 26-week lead time and your margin is four points. STMicro has 8,500 units in stock at the Dallas warehouse with an eight-point margin and ships this week. The customer gets the exact same parametric performance. You get twice the profit. But your sales rep quoted the TI part because that is what the BOM said.
Quotery maintains alternate and equivalent part relationships across your entire catalog. When a quote line carries a long lead time, a low margin, or a stockout risk, the system automatically surfaces every alternate with better availability and economics. Form, fit, function equivalence is validated at the parametric level — not guessed from a cross-reference PDF from 2019. The rep sees the TI part, the STMicro alternate with live inventory, and the margin difference between the two, all on the same screen.
The customer gets a choice: the specified part at 26 weeks, or the functionally identical alternate that ships tomorrow at the same price. Most pick the alternate. Your margin doubles. Their line does not wait six months.
AR and AP Built for the Working Capital Reality of Component Distribution
You ship a production order at $185,000 on net 30 terms to a contract manufacturer building for a Tier 1 automotive supplier. Your supplier wants payment at net 15. The gap between collecting from your customer and paying your supplier is 15 days of working capital that your credit line has to float. Multiply that by 40 customers and 12 supplier payment runs a month. One late payment from a large OEM and the whole thing tightens.
Quotery gives you AR aging by customer with drill-down to the invoice and line level. AP handles supplier invoices, multi-level approvals, and batched payment runs on the same platform. Customers pay via card, ACH, wire, Amazon Pay, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. You see exactly which receivables are due when and which payables need to clear before the next supplier cutoff. D+2 settlement standard. Instant payout when you need liquidity for a supplier order that cannot wait.
You stop managing cash flow in a spreadsheet that is always three days out of date. You see the full picture before the call with your bank.
RoHS, REACH, and Conflict Minerals Compliance That Ships With the Quote
A CEM in Germany requires full REACH declarations on every line item. Your customer in California needs Prop 65 sign-off before receiving inspection will accept the shipment. A non-compliant part shipped into a regulated jurisdiction does not just get returned. It triggers a corrective action report, a supplier audit, and a conversation with a compliance officer who does not care that "nobody told us." The liability cascades up the supply chain.
Quotery stores compliance data at the product level. RoHS status with exemption tracking. REACH SVHC declarations updated to the latest candidate list. Conflict minerals reporting templates for Section 1502. California Prop 65 flags. When a quote line includes a non-compliant part headed to a regulated jurisdiction, the system flags it before the quote goes out. Compliance documentation attaches to the quote PDF in one click. Your customer's quality team gets what they need without sending three reminder emails.
You ship compliant by default. The paperwork is already done before the customer asks for it. Your distributor scorecard stays clean.
Frequently asked questions
Electronic component quoting software automates the path from a customer BOM to a priced quote. Quotery imports BOMs from spreadsheets, PDFs, and screenshots, matches every line to your catalog with AI, supports parametric search across attributes like resistance, package type, and tolerance, tracks lifecycle status against open quotes, surfaces form-fit-function alternates with better availability, and attaches RoHS and REACH compliance documentation to the quote PDF.
Drop in a spreadsheet, a PDF, a screenshot from SAP, or an email body typed by hand. Quotery's AI maps every line to your catalog: exact MPN matches resolve instantly, partial matches surface alternates ranked by confidence, and lines it cannot resolve land in a review queue with the closest candidates pre-sorted. A 200-line BOM finishes while the customer is still on the phone explaining what they need.
Yes. Quotery tracks lifecycle status on every product in your catalog and cross-references it against open quotes. When a part transitions from Active to NRND, every quote line that depends on it gets flagged. When it hits End of Life with a last time buy date, an alert fires, with quantities pre-calculated from the customer's order history, so your team notifies the customer before the window closes.
Quotery starts with a free 14 day trial, no credit card required, so you can test AI BOM import, parametric search, and lifecycle tracking on real quotes before committing. Current plans and monthly pricing, including options for growing teams and enterprise operations, are listed on the Quotery pricing page with a full feature comparison.
