aPriori Technologies

“As we grow and work on future products for mass market adoption, it is important we evaluate all supplier costs in detail to reduce our BOM costs to be competitive in the market.”

“aPriori has completely changed the way that Jabil designers and manufacturers collaborate with each other and with our suppliers. And that improved collaboration has led to enormous savings.”

“With aPriori, we can get highly accurate cost data for hundreds of parts in minutes.”

“The Pulse team consists of organizational leadership that can make lasting changes and influence tool usage in their respective areas. Our CEO and P&L owners attended our Pulse team meetings to ensure that aPriori was used across all product lines. We also presented a quarterly report through our global sourcing council, which included our other businesses within the Haier company, and we utilized aP Analytics for those reports.”

“As we looked at embedding aPriori should cost into our organization, I chose to approach it with a framework of change management because what we are working to do is to make lasting change in our organization. With aPriori, we are truly changing the methodology people use to design and source their parts.”

“aPriori doesn’t just help us save on costs, it helps us change the way we approach our products and processes. Together, we are engineering a better tomorrow.”

“We can take a customer model and import it right into aPriori. The technology allows us to get very precise bills of material very early in the process. Before, we had to do this manually, and the time difference is almost unbelievable! Instead of 3 days, now it’s 30 seconds to pull a design and generate a BOM.”

“A user can look at cost, how much capacity we have, and what investments we would need to make, all from aPriori. When we submit a quote to a customer, we are already confident that we understand our cost structure, and that our quote aligns with our business model.”

“aPriori gives us really accurate models because it works directly with real part geometry, not just someone’s subjective experience. We now have a complete digital history of every quote we’ve ever done since adopting aPriori in 2018. Before, this information was stored in different databases, ad hoc Excel sheets – it was a mess.”

“Carrier has been using aPriori to determine how carbon affects our die-cast and plastic parts and to help us see the best ways to remove CO2e in design. There is a lot of excitement at Carrier about sustainability and using aPriori to meet our ESG goals.”
