Build products faster with accurate data and agile processes

OpenBOM is a powerful cloud-based platform that integrates with your existing tools and brings product information together into a single source of truth.

Whether your teams are collocated, distributed, or fully remote, OpenBOM provides an engaging, intuitive, instant collaboration experience with multiple options for real-time or asynchronous teamwork on an online product structure. OpenBOM’s patented simultaneous data sharing and editing capabilities allow you to collaborate within the team and across multiple companies.

The data management architecture of OpenBOM is built using flexible data objects holding different information sets semantically connected together. These data objects are flexible and generic allowing you to build any data structures using predefined and fully customizable attributes. The multi-tenant data model allows role-based access to data shared between multiple companies.

OpenBOM supports automatic tracking of changes, full revision support, change request and approval mechanisms. With OpenBOM it’s easy to track changes of items, BOM structures, CAD files, related information, and documents

You can store, organize, and manage your items in OpenBOM with ease. Item catalogs bring together all the things you manage during the design and production of your products, including inventory levels for production and vendor and supplier information.

OpenBOM looks similar to Excel to mirror its simplicity and ease of use. OpenBOM manages your product data and brings connected information together into a single source of truth with full flexibility and without the complexity of traditional PLM and ERP systems.

OpenBOM’s flexible data model allows the integration of file storage using catalogs, BOMs, and other data types. OpenBOM manages file revisions including CAD files, drawings, specifications and other documents using internal file management capabilities. OpenBOM Design Projects allows to manage local files and connect to cloud CAD systems and design storages (Autodesk Platform Services, Altium 365) . OpenBOM integrates with external cloud storages (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, etc.)

OpenBOM helps you manage production batches and perform inventory and procurement planning, including gap analysis, planning BOM, and purchase order management. You can define quantity on hand for each item and manage item inventory.

OpenBOM provides flexible formula and calculation support mechanisms. Using OpenBOM’s formulas you can easily roll up costs and perform operations on any data properties stored in OpenBOM.

OpenBOM’s CAD integrations are ready to “plug in” and have been built using the best-in-class technology. You can easily import your bills of materials, upload CAD files in native format, and derivative files (PDF, DXF, STEP) from your favorite CAD software in minutes using the OpenBOM plugins.

OpenBOM’s graph model is purpose-built to store and navigate relationships so that you can integrate, access, and analyze product information in the company and beyond.

Want to build a custom integration that’s not included in the out-of-the-box scope? OpenBOM’s developer tools let you integrate data across your enterprise stack, connect to other online applications, and create custom solutions for your business.
