Case Study: Ultratech cuts quote generation from days to minutes with Hexagon FormingSuite COSTOPTIMIZER Professional

Streamlining quoting for greater competitiveness and customer service

Ultratech, a family-owned tool and die and production metal stamper, faced a significant challenge in its quoting process. When receiving requests from automotive OEMs and suppliers, generating a single quote could take one to two days due to the complex, manual process of designing part layouts. This slow speed was a major competitive disadvantage in an industry where rapid turnaround is essential. To address this, Ultratech turned to Hexagon and implemented its FormingSuite COSTOPTIMIZER® Professional software.

The solution from Hexagon streamlined the entire quoting workflow. Ultratech could now import part data and generate a detailed quote, including cost breakdowns and tooling assessments, in just minutes instead of days. This massive increase in speed allowed them to respond to urgent client requests with professionalism and win new business. The software also improved accuracy, contributing to an exceptional quality rate of only one defective part per million produced. Hexagon's technology enabled Ultratech to solidify its position as a trusted and highly responsive supplier in the automotive industry.
