The four stages of harness quoting — automated

STAGE 01 — BOM & WIRE LIST ENGINEERING

Forward the RFQ. Get a BOM and wire list back.

The moment an RFQ arrives, forward the email or upload the package. Cableteque AI processes the entire quote package and hands engineering a finished BOM, a from-to wire list and a short list of review items to close out with Cableteque AI.

  • Any format, including PDF, TIFF, Excel, XML and native CAD exports, with multi-assembly packages in one upload
  • Edit the BOM and wire list like a spreadsheet, or let Cableteque AI resolve review items
  • Trace branches and dimensions in the built-in stick-drawing tool, with connectivity already in place
  • Wire lengths, tubes, tapes and coverings calculated, and terminals, seals and plugs auto-picked

STAGE 02 — MATERIAL SOURCING

Every source, priced in minutes

Cableteque prices every part across every source you buy from, then picks the best offer based on your purchasing rules. No spreadsheets, and no phone and email chase.

  • Your inventory from your ERP and your negotiated prices from Excel price lists
  • Live APIs with 30+ distributors at your contract pricing using your unique API keys
  • Supplier RFQs sent from Cableteque, with responses read by Cableteque AI
  • Best offer chosen on price, availability, lead time and minimum order quantity

STAGE 03 — LABOR ESTIMATION

Your labor template, filled in automatically

Your work centers, operations and time standards load as-is. Cableteque counts operations from the BOM and wire list the way your engineers do and fills 60–80% of your template automatically.

  • No reformatting or migrating your template
  • Engineers adjust only the operations that need their judgment
  • Time per category and per assembly, ready for costing
  • Consistent across every estimator on your team

STAGE 04 — QUOTE FINALIZATION

Set your margins. Send the quote.

Material and labor costs combine into one quote for every quantity break. Apply your markups or an overall margin and send a customer-ready PDF.

  • Full cost breakdown in one view
  • Batch pricing across every quantity break at once
  • Material and labor markups, or one overall margin
  • Quote and cost data synced to your ERP or CRM

Wire harness shops that quote faster and win more business

"It’s astonishing how quickly our metrics changed. Before Cableteque, a normal quote took at least five days, and when things got busy, the queue could mean waiting a month just for a quote. Now, we’ve cut that time in half, and the backlog is gone, even during our busiest months."

"We were quoting on average a week to week-and-a-half turnaround on an average size package. It's honestly two to three days using Cableteque. It took us from a position where we always had in our minds that we need to hire additional quoting personnel, to now we don't even think about that as one of our initiatives. I could probably do five times as many quotes as we're doing now without needing to hire additional people"

"The proof is in the pudding. When you actually use it and recognize what it will do, you won't need me to tell you. You'll be able to see it. We thought we heard about what it would do, and we just sat and thought, 'No, it really can't do all that.' And when it could, it blows your mind away."

Frequently asked questions

What is Cableteque?

Cableteque is quoting software built specifically for wire harness and cable assembly manufacturers. It reads a customer's RFQ package, builds the BOM and wire list, sources every part at your negotiated rates, fills your labor template and produces a customer-ready quote. More than 100 manufacturers and 500+ users process over 100,000 quotes a year through Cableteque.

What is Cableteque AI?

Cableteque AI is the first AI built specifically for wire harnesses. It reads the entire quote package, including everything on the drawing and everything off it, such as notes, workmanship specs and AVLs, in structured or unstructured form. It is connected to the Cableteque Component Library and runs through every stage of the quote, while your engineers keep control of every decision.

What is the Cableteque Component Library?

The Cableteque Component Library holds more than 10 million parts, 2 million of them with full datasheet-level detail: what each part is, its attributes, what it mates with, what works with it, and the accessories and tooling that go with it. A dedicated team of engineers builds and maintains it using Cableteque's own tools. It powers auto-pick, sourcing and labor counts.

What files can I upload?

Forward the RFQ email or upload the package as it arrives: PDF, scanned prints, TIFF, Excel, CSV, XML and native CAD exports. Multi-file and multi-assembly packages go in as one upload.

Does Cableteque calculate wire lengths and coverings?

Yes. Connectivity comes from the wire list, so your engineer traces the branches and dimensions over the drawing in Cableteque's built-in stick-drawing tool and assigns the connectors at each end. Cableteque then calculates wire cut lengths, sizes tubes, tapes and coverings for each bundle, and auto-picks terminals, wire seals and cavity plugs.

Does Cableteque use our negotiated pricing?

Yes. Cableteque connects to 30+ distributors through your own API keys, so you see your contract pricing. It also uses your inventory from your ERP and your Excel price lists, sends supplier RFQs and reads the responses with Cableteque AI, then picks the best offer on price, availability, lead time and minimum order quantity.

Can we keep our own labor template?

Yes. Cableteque loads your work centers, operations and time standards as-is and fills 60–80% of the template automatically from the BOM and wire list. Engineers adjust only the operations that need their judgment.

Does Cableteque replace our ERP?

No. Your ERP stays your system of record for production, inventory and accounting. Cableteque handles quoting and sends the quote and cost data to your ERP or CRM.

How much does Cableteque cost?

Cableteque is a monthly subscription, with annual plans available at a discount. Pricing is based on how many assemblies you quote, how complex they are (measured in BOM lines), and any add-ons, such as additional modules, government hosting, ERP integration or additional sites. Contact us for a quote.

Can Cableteque handle CUI and ITAR-controlled data?

Yes. Cableteque is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as FedRAMP Ready (legacy designation) and is registered with the U.S. State Department under ITAR. Defense and other regulated programs run on CabletequeGov, a dedicated environment on AWS GovCloud with U.S.-only data residency. Only U.S. persons can access CabletequeGov and its data. Customer data is protected with encryption, access management and continuous monitoring, and Cableteque does not train AI models on customer data. See our Security page for full details.

Where is my data hosted?

Cableteque runs on AWS. Commercial customers are hosted in US regions by default, and European customers can be hosted in AWS Europe Central, which supports GDPR. Defense and other regulated programs can use CabletequeGov, a dedicated government environment. Cableteque does not train AI models on customer data. See our Security page for the full details.

How long does it take to get started?

Most customers write their first quotes in Cableteque within 30 days and are quoting live work within 45–60 days. By the end of their first three months, they’re getting full value from the platform. Onboarding covers your labor template, distributor accounts and part preferences, and Cableteque’s team supports you throughout.
