Brooks Automation Selects NexPrise for Supplier Quote Management
Semiconductor Automation Company Implements NexPrise Cost Estimation and Quote
Manager to Centralize Multiple RFQ Processes and Improve Communication
CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NexPrise, Inc.
(OTC:NXPS.OB) (BULLETIN BOARD: NXPS.OB) today announced that Brooks Automation
has chosen NexPrise to centralize the Request for Quote (RFQ) system for its
suppliers. The leading semiconductor automation company will implement
NexPrise Cost Estimation and Quote Manager as part of its supplier management
strategy to improve communication both within the company and with suppliers,
and to build a centralized system for its multiple RFQ requirements.
Based in Massachusetts, Brooks Automation is a leading provider of automation
solutions and services to semiconductor Original Equipment Manufacturers
(OEM's), semiconductor chip manufacturers and other companies in complex
manufacturing industries. Brooks had various supplier quote management
processes and saw a need to improve visibility and communications when dealing
with its suppliers.
Brooks Automation selected NexPrise Cost Estimation and Quote Manager
applications and, following a short pilot, is now working to implement a
unified RFQ solution. "Several other vendors tried to tell us how to change
our RFQ process to fit their solutions, but NexPrise was the only one with a
flexible, open system that adapted to how we work, while at the same time
simplifying the process," said Chuck Allen, Director of Strategic Sourcing,
Brooks Automation.
Brooks Automation identified several key features of the NexPrise system that
will best address its needs when the implementation is complete later this
year:
-- Single, Customized Process for RFQs: The NexPrise system supports the
business process the company already has in place by offering a
solution that mimics, while at the same time simplifies, the
methodology of the previous system.
-- Online, Real-Time Interaction: Suppliers will be able to view and
respond to RFQs in real-time via a web-based interface. This
information will be maintained a single, centralized database.
-- Visibility into Supplier Relationship: The database will enable the
company to track and audit this process for the first time, giving
Brooks Automation visibility into its relationships with suppliers,
such as by tracking suppliers' response times.
-- Improved Communication: With increased visibility, Brooks Automation
is now able to communicate more effectively with its supplier base. At
the same time, users in various locations within Brooks Automation also
have a view into the process -- leading to improved communication
between internal organizations and geographies.
