The Challenge: Organizing Data Over Time

One of the primary challenges faced by businesses when managing their BOMs and inventory is the continuous organization and updating of data. As companies grow, product lines evolve, and suppliers change, keeping track of all the various items and their associated properties can become a daunting task. This is where OpenBOM’s new feature comes in – it simplifies the process of moving items between catalogs and makes data organization more efficient than ever before.

Moving Multiple Items Between Catalogs

The ability to move items between catalogs provides users with a much easier way to organize the data over time. 

Automatic Property Population

This means that users no longer need to worry about manually updating item properties, which can be both time-consuming and prone to errors. OpenBOM takes care of this process, ensuring that the information is accurate and up-to-date, regardless of which catalog the item resides in.
