Converge Partners With OpenBOM - Modern BOM and Inventory Management

Build products faster with accurate data and agile processes

OpenBOM reimagines traditional PLM systems by offering a unique blend of PDM, PLM, and ERP functions, helping customers integrate design, quoting, and production processes.

OpenBOM strategy includes:

  • Digital BOM and Connected Lifecycle
  • Seamless multi-CAD integrations
  • Integrated production planning (RFQ/PO, Inventory, ERP).

OpenBOM Solves Five Key Problems:

  1. Simplifying Bill of Materials (BOM) management
  2. Streamlining CAD data management and BOM creation
  3. Improving Order Management (RFQ, PO, Inventory)
  4. Ensuring accurate data transfer to ERP
  5. Enabling seamless collaboration with contract manufacturers.

Agile Product Development

A traditional waterfall process usually includes people responsible for each step of the overall product development process but is poorly connected and integrated. Multiple engineers working in MCAD, PCB design tools, and software development, and later, integrating and combining the results in a single bill of materials (BOM) with all related information, performing purchasing and assembly.
OpenBOM allows companies to move from a traditional waterfall model to the agile process. It includes the capability to iterate faster with minimum effort.

 

 

What You Can Do With OpenBOM

There’s a lot that our customers can achieve with OpenBOM, but here’s a quick rundown of the most important things to know when you’re just getting started:

Item Management

BOM MGMT

Prod. Planning

Procurement Plan

Real-Time Collab

CAD Integration

Change MGMT

Document and Files

Cloud-based, Multi-tenant Platform

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

Flexible & Multi-tenant Data Model

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.

Distributed Item Master Management

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.

File Storage and Document Management
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.)

Cost Planning, Formulas, and Calculations
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.

Knowledge Graph and Data Analytics
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.

Real-time & Asynchronous Collaboration

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.

Change History, Revision Control, & Change Management
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

Flexible Structured Bills of Materials with Visualization and Spreadsheet-like User Experience
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.

Production Planning, Inventory Management and Purchase Orders
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.

Integration With Your CAD Tools
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.

Open REST API and Integrations
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.

We bridge the gap between Engineering and IT teams helping you make the right choice for managing CAD in the Cloud efficiently while taking the ongoing burden off your IT department to manage the applications.
