At OpenBOM, we are committed to meeting these needs by continuously enhancing our platform with features that drive efficiency and productivity.

One of the most frequently requested features by our customers has been the ability to generate QR codes for items in their catalogs. Listening to our customers’ feedback is at the heart of our development process, and we are excited to announce the upcoming release of Automatic Item QR Code Generation in OpenBOM.

Here is a quick summary and some examples of what this new feature will allow you to do (please note, it is activated automatically and doesn’t require any special setup)
