OpenBOM, a provider of cloud-native Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software, today announced that it has been named to the G2 2026 Top 50 CAD & PLM Software list, part of G2’s annual Best Software Awards. This recognition is based on high customer satisfaction and strong market presence, as measured through verified reviews submitted on G2, the world’s largest software marketplace.
The G2 Best Software Awards rank the world’s top software products based on authentic, timely reviews from real users and publicly available market presence data. The Top 50 products are scored using a weighted combination of Satisfaction and Market Presence, calculated first at the subcategory level and combined into an overall score weighted by category competitiveness and product relevance. Recognition across the full CAD & PLM category—not a niche subcategory—places OpenBOM among a select group of solutions trusted by engineering and manufacturing teams globally.
Customer Satisfaction and Market Validation
OpenBOM has received more than 700 reviews on G2, with customers consistently highlighting ease of use, CAD integration, and collaborative BOM management. According to G2 data:
• More than 50% of reviewers awarded OpenBOM a 5-star rating
These results reflect consistent feedback from engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams using OpenBOM in production environments.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers cite OpenBOM’s ability to eliminate spreadsheet-based BOM workflows, automate CAD-to-BOM data transfer, and maintain a single source of truth for product data across engineering and purchasing teams. It includes, but is not limited to management of CAD files, inventory, purchasing and integrations with ERP software.
One G2 reviewer shared: “I like how OpenBOM simplifies the creation and maintenance of bills of materials, allowing my engineering and purchasing team to work together much more efficiently. The integration with CAD software like SolidWorks and Fusion 360 is a major advantage, as we can export BOMs directly without rework… Within a few hours, we were already generating bills of materials and integrating with our CAD.”
Another user noted that OpenBOM “really helps our team stay in sync,” highlighting how the SolidWorks integration makes updating parts easy and “saves a lot of time,” with all product details in one place keeping everyone from engineering to sourcing aligned.
Leadership Perspective
“Being recognized for the third consecutive year reflects more than customer satisfaction — it signals a broader shift in how engineering software is evaluated and adopted,” said Oleg Shilovitsky, co-founder and CEO of OpenBOM. “Cloud-native platforms are redefining PLM around speed, transparency, and continuous connectivity. Our focus remains on helping teams move from fragmented spreadsheets to structured, connected product data across the lifecycle. That solid data foundation is not just operationally important — it is essential for the next generation of intelligent, agent-driven systems that will increasingly assist engineering and manufacturing teams in decision-making and execution.”
