The product complexity has grown significantly for the last decade. Mechanical, electrical, software components combined with complex changes and the need to trace data for multiple stages of product lifecycle- engineering, manufacturing, services, etc. This is why OpenBOM came with xBOM to provide a seamless way to manage multiple BOM types across different stages of the product lifecycle. With xBOM, users experience simplicity, ease of use, and flexibility in managing their data, all supported by a powerful graph-based architecture. This advanced architecture allows for the effortless handling of complex BOM structures, making it an indispensable tool for manufacturers looking to streamline their processes.

In the latest release, OpenBOM has taken the xBOM service a step further by enhancing the BOM Compare function. This enhancement allows users to compare multiple BOM types created within xBOM, offering a more comprehensive view of their product data. 

Whether you’re dealing with an Engineering BOM, Manufacturing BOM, or any other BOM type, the enhanced BOM Compare service ensures that you can effectively compare and analyze different BOM versions and types, making it easier to identify discrepancies and ensure data accuracy.
