OpenBOM

OpenBOM gets out of your way and lets you build products the way your team works. Start by importing an existing parts list from a spreadsheet or syncing from CAD. Create a shared catalog where each item has consistent fields—supplier, cost, lead time, UoM, lifecycle state—plus attachments like drawings and spec sheets. Define property templates with required fields and data types to keep entries clean. Assemble products by referencing items from the catalog; set per-level quantities, alternates, and reference designators. Batch-update attributes across many items, then use quick filters and saved views to focus on make parts, long-lead risk, or cost drivers. Add thumbnails so technicians can spot the right component at a glance.

Collaboration and control happen in the same place. Invite engineering, operations, and sourcing with role-based access. Multiple editors can update the same BOM, and changes appear instantly to everyone. Propose edits via a change request, capture the reason and effectivity, route for approval, then release a new revision. Compare revisions side by side to see what changed. Every update is logged with user, timestamp, and previous value for easy audits. Comment directly on rows, @mention teammates, and subscribe watchers so stakeholders get notified when critical parts change. Link items to related CAD files and electrical schematics to keep design context one click away. more
