Switch to Parter
Parter is a Supplyframe alternative for EMS teams that want the quote, not just the market data. Supplyframe’s network tells you what components cost across the industry. Parter takes the customer BOM itself, prices every line against live distributor stock, finds verified second sources, scores risk and compliance, and hands back a quote you can send the same day.

Four things between a customer RFQ and a quote you can send. What each one looks like on an intelligence platform, and what it turns into.
With Supplyframe
Supplyframe’s quoting tools, QuoteWin and Buymanager, manage the RFQ once it is structured. Getting a messy customer file into shape is still your team’s job.
With Parter
Any format, any structure, from any export. A spreadsheet, a PDF, or a pasted list. Parter works out the columns and structures the RFQ as you requested it.
With Supplyframe
Strong market data on where prices and lead times are heading, plus RFQs routed to your suppliers. Between the forecast and the supplier replies, the number your quote needs is still being assembled.
With Parter
Live price, stock and lead time on every line, source shown. Multi-quantity breaks priced in real time, and when a cheaper verified drop-in exists it sits right next to the line. The quote wins on margin, not just speed.
With Supplyframe
Component intelligence flags the risk on the parts you have. Finding a verified alternate is a separate search, part by part.
With Parter
Our AI Alternative Agent sweeps the whole BOM. Verified second sources and drop-ins from live inventory, screened for spec, stock and compliance, each with its form, fit and function assessment attached.
With Supplyframe
Dashboards and commodity forecasts are there when someone logs in to check. The connection back to the parts you actually quoted is yours to make.
With Parter
Parter keeps watching every part you quoted. PCNs read automatically, shortages flagged early, margins protected through production.
"Parter didn't just help us navigate the supply chain - it gave us the visibility to respond instantly and keep our manufacturing moving disruption free"

Pitching it internally
Sales wants faster turnaround, purchasing owns the sourcing, finance signs the invoice. Here is roughly how each one goes.
Parter scores risk, lifecycle and compliance on every line it quotes, with live pricing and verified second sources attached. Market signals and trends are in there too, so you see where prices and lead times are heading, next to the parts they affect. That is the coverage you subscribe to Supplyframe for, except it arrives inside the quote instead of a separate dashboard. With Supplyframe, someone reads the report, pulls the numbers, and carries them into the quote by hand. Once Parter puts all of it on every line automatically, there is nothing left for a standalone platform to do.
Parter is running the moment you send it one real customer RFQ. No implementation project, no data migration, no seats to provision across departments. Quote that RFQ in Parter this week, clock the turnaround, and let the result make the case. The rollout is the moment your team stops going back.
Parter wins back the quotes you are already losing: faster turnaround takes the RFQs you currently answer second, and sourcing every line instead of the ones somebody had time for takes cost out of the BOM itself. It also covers the market, lifecycle, compliance and risk data you pay Supplyframe for today, so this is less a new system than a consolidation of ones you already pay for. Trying it costs one real RFQ, and you walk into the next budget cycle with your own numbers.
We should look at Parter for quoting. It takes the customer file in whatever format it arrives, scrubs and structures it automatically, and prices every line against live distributor stock, lead time and cost. Risk, lifecycle and compliance are scored per line before we commit to a price, and the AI Alternative Agent returns verified second sources with the form, fit and function assessment attached, so purchasing approves them rather than takes its word for it. It covers a lot of the market data we look up separately today, built into the quote instead of next to it. The output is a complete, margin optimized quote we can send the same day instead of at the end of the week, and the parts stay monitored through production. We buy direct from our distributors exactly as we do now: no middleman, no markup. Trying it costs us one BOM. Here's their website: https://parter.ai
Everything you need to secure your BOM, outsmart market disruptions, and build an unbreakable supply chain - all in one proactive platform.
Drop in any customer file and the AI scrubs and structures it for you. Or connect your ERP or MRP through the Parter API.
Sales, purchasing and ops work the same RFQ, so nothing waits on a handover.

Price, availability and lifecycle tracked automatically, from quote through production.
Change notices read automatically, mapped to the parts you quoted, with a recommended action.
Automatic second sources and drop-in alternates from live inventory, screened for spec, stock and compliance.
How switching works
We import your BOMs and quote history, so the transition takes minutes rather than months. Any format, any structure, from any export, or a direct API connection to your ERP or MRP. Run it alongside what you quote in today, for as long as you like.
