AUSTIN, TX (January 14, 2026) - Cetec ERP, a cloud-based ERP platform built for manufacturers, and Cableteque, a software platform connecting wire harness design to manufacturing, announced a new partnership to streamline quoting and execution for wire harness and cable assembly teams.
The integration connects Cableteque’s automated quoting product, Quoteque, with real-time unallocated inventory and material cost data from the Cetec ERP system. The result is a quoting workflow that is faster, more accurate, and directly connected to downstream production and operational processes. The collaboration reflects both companies' commitment to transforming manufacturing operations through integrated, data-driven software.
Wire harness and cable assembly manufacturers often struggle with a manual, time-intensive quoting process, which prevents them from winning new business. Many estimators spend hours gathering material costs, checking stock availability, and reconciling part numbers across systems before a quote can even be finalized.
A recent survey by the Wiring Harness Manufacturers' Association (WHMA) found that 74% of wire harness manufacturers describe their quoting process as manual, time-intensive, and too slow. This integration addresses that core friction by bringing ERP inventory and historical cost data into Cableteque’s quoting environment, right where estimators already work.
How the Integration Works
The Cableteque-Cetec ERP integration creates a seamless data flow between quoting and ERP by:
-
Automated synchronization: Manufacturer part numbers, internal part numbers, unallocated stock levels, and material costs sync automatically from Cetec ERP into Cableteque via API.
-
Real-time visibility in quoting: Estimators can see Cetec ERP stock availability and historical costs alongside Cableteque’s real-time distributor pricing while sourcing materials.
-
Clean handoff to ERP: Finalized, costed BOMs and labor estimates flow back into Cetec ERP to support production planning and job execution.
By eliminating manual data transfers between systems, manufacturers reduce quote turnaround time, improve costing accuracy, and respond to RFQs with more confidence.

Customer Testimonial
“To be able to take Cetec ERP and know that it integrates directly to Cableteque, there’s just nothing that beats it. You don't have to do all the extra legwork, all the data entry, all the uploading all your new stuff to a new program, none of that. It's automatic and that saves you so much time.”
- Benjamin LeClair, Program Manager, S&Y Industries
The Partnership
The Cableteque–Cetec ERP integration represents a significant step forward for wire harness manufacturers, giving teams a direct path from RFQ to production. By automatically synchronizing inventory and cost data between the systems and into the quoting workflow, manufacturers can eliminate manual data transfers, reduce estimator legwork, quote with greater accuracy, and respond to customer RFQs faster, enabling a quicker transition into manufacturing.
“We built Quoteque to automate wire harness quoting, but our customers were still spending lots of time syncing ERP data manually. This integration with Cetec ERP solves that problem and lets our mutual customers focus on winning more business.”
- Aidan Vrobel, Head of Growth, Cableteque
“We’ve been supporting wire harness manufacturers for a long time, and quoting has remained a largely manual, painful process. Cableteque has brought fresh momentum and innovation to the wire harness industry. Their integration into Cetec ERP is a meaningful step forward for our shared customers, reducing manual effort and giving teams more time for growth and problem-solving.”
- Scott Ryan, Senior Consultant, Cetec ERP
