Start Your Partnership with a Transparent RFQ Process
Worldwide Sourcing & Solutions (WSS) understands that an accurate and timely quote is the foundation of a successful partnership. Manufacturing complexity should never translate into quoting ambiguity. Our well-defined, data-driven quoting process ensures you receive competitive, transparent, and comprehensive proposals from the world’s most qualified manufacturing facilities.
From the moment you submit your initial Request for Quote (RFQ), we work to eliminate unknowns, giving you a clear path forward and a precise understanding of your total landed costs.
Our 3-Step Project Quoting Workflow
Our process is designed for speed and accuracy, leveraging our global network of facilities and deep engineering expertise.
We ensure every variable is accounted for, from material fluctuations to exchange rates.
Step 1: Request for Quote (RFQ) Submission & Confidentiality
The quoting process begins when you submit your RFQ along with a print or technical drawing.
- Submission Review: Our team of experts immediately reviews the print for technical specifications, material requirements, and volume needs. We will reach out promptly to clarify any required details, ensuring our quote is built on a complete understanding of your vision.
- Proprietary Protection: We treat all customer documentation with the highest level of security. All WSS employees and supply chain partners are immediately bound by Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) to safeguard your proprietary information.
Step 2: Dual-Footprint Assessment & Cost Modeling
Once all requirements are clear, our dedicated quoting team assesses the optimal manufacturing processes and cost models.
- Process Assessment: We determine the most qualified manufacturing facilities—whether it’s U.S.-based domestic production in Illinois or a solution from our global sourcing network in India, Vietnam, or China.
- Cost Optimization: We analyze the production route (Casting, Machining, Forging, etc.) and leverage our global buying power to calculate the most competitive cost, ensuring the final quote is based on the most efficient manufacturing location for your specific needs.
Step 3: Detailed Quote Delivery
We return a detailed, actionable quote to you. Our quotes are comprehensive and fully transparent, allowing you to make an informed, confident decision.
- Comprehensive Breakdown: The quote provides a detailed, granular breakdown of your total costs, including:
- Unit Price
- Duties and Taxes
- Tooling Costs (if applicable)
- Manufacturing Processes (PPAP submission and final production runs)
- Timelines (if applicable)
- Shipping Lead Times (domestic vs. import estimates)
- Data-Driven Accuracy: Our quotes are live and data-driven, taking into account current raw material costs, logistics, shipping, and currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The WSS Quoting Difference: Risk Mitigation & Accuracy
We go beyond simply providing a price. Our process is a commitment to precision and risk mitigation long before the first piece is manufactured.
- Engineering Oversight: We are different from other companies that use sourcing, WSS engineers are directly involved in the quote process, ensuring the proposed manufacturing route is feasible, scalable, and optimized for PPAP compliance from the very start.
- Time-to-Market Clarity: We clearly define lead times based on your chosen manufacturing path: ~ 90 days for import product or 15-20 days domestically when raw material is supplied, giving you immediate clarity for production planning.
- One Point of Contact: You work directly with WSS experts who speak your language, ensuring clear communication and eliminating the risk of misinterpretation or dealing with multiple overseas contacts.
