Case Study: Soucy achieves 2.5-day quoting and faster time-to-market with aPriori

How Soucy Streamlined Their Quoting Process with International Suppliers

Soucy is a Canadian manufacturer of components for motorsport, industrial, agricultural, and defense vehicles with about 1,700 employees across North America and Asia. Their Power Sports and print-to-build divisions faced long quoting delays from overseas suppliers—initial cost estimates could take up to seven days, stretching customer response times to 9–10 days and hindering rapid product iteration and time-to-market.

Soucy implemented aPriori digital factories to simulate manufacturing from 3D CAD, generate supplier-specific cost models, and catch manufacturability issues early. The change cut cost-visibility lead time to 2.5 days with average accuracy of ±3%, reduced internal quoting effort from eight hours to one (saving up to ~3,150 hours/year), sped tractor-division pricing from weeks to half a day, and improved supplier collaboration and value-engineering opportunities.
