Pictures from a recent Engineering meet: the department did a full-scale cardboard mock-up of a new weldment we are bidding on. Then we got every one in a room together to gauge actual weld times, capacity requirements, human resource requirements, etc. Stupendous job from everyone involved. It really says a lot about the ingenuity we have here! BERMO INCORPORATED Announces its On-Site Quotation Services: QOTE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Minneapolis, MN – BERMO INC. is excited to announce the launch of Quoting On-Site To Excel (QOTE), a unique and value-added service that provide customers with prices at customer premises’, greatly reducing customers quoting cycle. The launch date for QOTE was September 1st, 2016. BERMO INC. has created yet another breakthrough in OEM customer service following the successful launch of its automated FRED quoting program earlier this year. As with FRED, the new QOTE initiative brings estimates to customers that much quicker: customers will have direct, uninterrupted access to BERMO INC's talented estimators to provide on-site pricing, as well as closer proximity to designer counterparts. "With the FRED. program, we were able to get quotes 40% faster to our customers. This new initiative [QOTE], brings the customer and their pricing needs more immediate. Couple this with Product Development participation and you’re left with a greatly reduced, cheaper, purchasing experience.” -- David Berdass, Vice President, BERMO INC. BERMO INC. will communicate this new service to both existing customers and new prospects through emails, its website, and through normal sales channels. The service is free-of-charge to all customers. For more information, call 763-786-7676 or visit www.bermo.com. BERMO INCORPORATED is a privately owned-and-operated manufacturer founded in 1947 that specializes in metal fabricating, stamping, welding, and assembly. It's 300,000 square-foot facility runs 3 shifts, 5 days a week, and staffs more than 250 employees. An article by MetalForming Magazine Bermo Inc., Minneapolis, MN, has released its F.R.E.D. (First-of-its-kind Rapid Estimate Delivery) quotation software, created inhouse to provide automated quotations for its OEM customer base. The program links customers’ CAD models to suit Bermo's manufacturing processes, which include laser cutting, metal stamping, forming, welding and assembly. With the new software, customers can expect to receive quotations within minutes.
“This software program was inaugurated out of the sheer amount of RFQs that we process day-after-day,” says David Berdass, Bermo vice president. “Not only will we be able to serve our customers better, it will make us more cost-efficient and allow us to direct resources toward even more innovations for our customers.” This spring, updates to the F.R.E.D. software (the name also is a nod to the company’s late founder, Fred Berdass) will give customers the ability to perform online preliminary quotations before having to send in requests.

Giving people a voice may be at the very core of what makes an engaging, sustaining culture—and this probably applies as much to the fab shop as it does the Iowa electorate. Seeing people caucus made me think of the “communication boards” posted throughout Bermo Inc., a custom fabricator and stamper north of the Twin Cities. On these boards people post ideas, and those ideas undergo a set process that makes it virtually impossible to dismiss any idea outright. We’ll detail this process in next month’s FABRICATOR magazine. |
