The global digital manufacturing company
unveiled its advanced e-commerce system built to accelerate speed
and agility in quoting, design analysis, and ordering.
Digital manufacturing leader Protolabs (NYSE: PRLB) has launched
its new digital quoting platform to further accelerate and improve
its customers’ e-commerce experience. The platform was rolled out
to its European customers in early November, and a U.S. launch is
set to follow in the coming months.
In response to the need for a more streamlined quoting and
ordering experience that supports accelerated product development
and on-demand manufacturing needs, the new platform brings a
comprehensive tool for both product development and procurement
teams looking for a more efficient, online-based process for
manufacturing. The launch comes at a time when companies and
manufacturers alike look to respond to extreme challenges in their
markets and supply chains.
“The focus now, more than ever, is on speed and making sure new
products are either first to market or ready when the end customer
needs them,” said Bjoern Klaas, Vice President and Managing
Director of Protolabs Europe. “That is why we are so excited to be
launching our brand new digital quoting experience.”
In addition to a modern, user-friendly interface, the new
quoting platform lets users better manage their project
requirements, collaborate easier with colleagues, and see new
levels of transparency into their orders. Like the previous
platform, its flagship feature—interactive design for
manufacturability (DFM) analysis—remains, but is more intuitive
than ever before.
“Speed in testing parts, speed in getting products to market
fast, speed in manufacturing throughout product life cycles—these
have always been vital elements in any project. But they are even
more so now,” explained Rich Baker, Protolabs’ CTO who led the
launch of the platform. “Unprecedented changes in many of our
markets are underway due to customer demand and the ongoing
pandemic, but technological advancement in manufacturing are
throwing the doors of innovation wide open to allow suppliers and
their customers to pivot quickly. And that agility is often the
difference between success and failure.”
Klaas closed with a look back, and a look forward: “We
revolutionized manufacturing two decades ago by automating the
traditional manufacturing process. And we are revolutionizing it
once again through this new platform. It is a very intriguing time
for manufacturing and we recognize that as consumer needs change,
supply chains must evolve with them to support their needs along
the way. Our new e-commerce system does just that.”
The digital quoting platform is now live for all of Protolabs’
European customers at protolabs.co.uk.
