Company sees inclusion as a milestone for cloud-native, SaaS-based PLM for small and midsize discrete manufacturers

NEWTON, Mass., 06/17/2026— OpenBOM, a cloud-native, multi-tenant SaaS platform for product data, PDM, BOM management, procurement, and digital thread, today announced it has been included in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for PLM Software in Discrete Manufacturing Industries.

OpenBOM believes the inclusion reflects a growing need for PLM platforms that are cloud-native, open, and accessible to small and midsize discrete manufacturers, the companies that have historically been underserved by enterprise-first deployments.

Many manufacturers still manage critical product information across spreadsheets, disconnected CAD files, shared drives, email, and fragmented procurement and ERP processes. OpenBOM helps these companies move to a connected product data foundation shared across engineering, procurement, suppliers, and manufacturing. The platform combines PDM, multiview BOM management, change, procurement workflows, supplier collaboration, inventory and purchasing data, CAD integrations, and ERP connectivity in a single SaaS environment.

“We are proud that OpenBOM has been included in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for PLM Software in Discrete Manufacturing Industries,” said Oleg Shilovitsky, CEO and co-founder of OpenBOM. “Small and midsize manufacturers need a modern alternative to spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and heavy enterprise deployments. OpenBOM was built to make structured product data, connected BOMs, PDM, procurement, and digital thread accessible from day one. As we continue to invest in Product Memory and agentic AI, our goal is to help manufacturers turn product data into knowledge they can act on.”

OpenBOM is CAD-agnostic, with integrations across widely used mechanical, electrical, and cloud CAD tools, and it connects to ERP, procurement, manufacturing, and quality systems through REST APIs and webhooks. Rather than replacing the specialized systems a manufacturer already uses, OpenBOM provides the open product data foundation those systems can compose around.

The company is also investing in a graph-based Product Memory architecture and agentic AI. Product Memory captures the relationships, dependencies, history, and decisions behind product data, so manufacturers can move from storing product information to acting on connected product knowledge.
