The new version, Source Tool 1.15, has a new RFQ wizard to speed up the RFQ creation.
Documents and drawings can be uploaded for the suppliers to view which means that the buyer can receive quotes direct, even for complex designs.
With the new Source Tool the buyers will have complete access to all the suppliers in the FI Engineering network and can view comprehensive profiles of their history and capability.
