Additionally, we’ll provide some tips on how to get the most out of your integrations. Let’s get started! 

OpenBOM is a powerful cloud-based product management system that can help you organize and track your product data. However, in order to unlock its full potential, it’s important to understand what options you have and what popular software integrations are available, and how to connect OpenBOM to them. 

Integration Options 

The OpenBOM platform offers many ways to integrate with your existing or planned enterprise data sources and applications such as CAD, PDM, PLM, ERP, financial services, online catalogs, and much more.

The four primary ways to integrate are:

  1. Out-of-the-box import/export 
  2. OpenBOM Integrations to many popular CADs and business apps
  3. Partner solutions 
  4. REST APIs 

Whether you’re starting at the online training and documentation portal to master the ready-to-use import and export functions, or installing one of the many out-of-the-box integrations for CAD or business applications like Oracle NetSuite and QuickBooks, OpenBOM lets you bring formerly siloed important information and product data to your enterprise.

Need to customize integration? The API and CAD integration toolkit unlock the power of OpenBOM data structures through a modern well-documented REST API.
