OpenBOM – How to rethink BOM for CAD Users?

The history of CAD system development counts decades of work done by many vendors. The generation of CAD system development made huge improvements in how engineering work can be done. Data management was for a long time an Achilles heel in CAD systems. Recent cloud CAD improvements took CAD systems to the next level – you don’t need to manage CAD files. Yet, for all CAD systems to create, manage, and share the Bill of Materials is still a huge pain. 

Excel is a usual solution for most of the engineers to create a BOM and make sure it doesn’t have mistakes, count for all parts, and also shared with relevant people in an organization and outside. 

At OpenBOM, we are solving this problem using a unique combination of OpenBOM technologies and product development. There are two main elements of OpenBOM solution for CAD users: 

1- Flexible SaaS Data Management Platform 

2- Immersive One-Click integrations for all CAD systems.
