A single complex PCBA quote can consume three weeks of full-time work in manual RFQ processes, and many EMS companies can only respond to about 60% of incoming RFQs due to capacity constraints — meaning roughly 4 in 10 requests never even get a reply. While your team is still cross-checking the BOM and chasing component availability, the buyer has already moved to a faster competitor.

Every engineer and technician you have is already committed to SMT lines, box build assembly, and quality control.

Fragmented email chains and manual data entry mean your first response happens days later, long after a faster competitor has already begun scoping the PCBA work. With PCB assembly capturing 48.29% of the US EMS market in 2025, buyers have options; if your first touch comes Monday morning, the conversation may already be over."}],"quickWins":["After-hours coverage without hiring: our AI receptionist answers inbound OEM calls 24/7, including weekends, so after-hours RFQs get a qualified response in under 60 seconds instead of sitting in the inbox until Monday.","Recover missed demand this quarter: pipeline reactivation turns the old RFQ and RFI contacts already in your CRM back into booked calls — and you only pay for the conversations that come back."],"subheadline":"Worqd's AI receptionist answers, qualifies, and books every inbound inquiry for your electronics assembly business the moment it arrives — so OEM customers never slip away to a faster contract manufacturer.","problemTitle":"Why EMS Companies Lose RFQs Before Quoting Even Starts","testimonials":[{"quote":"OEM engineers were emailing RFQs at 9pm on Fridays and waiting until Monday for a reply.
