I like that Cofactr makes it easy for me to manage electronic components and handle complex bill of materials for printed circuit board assemblies and electrical products. It allows me to order very quickly once the source is set up, simulating demand like an ERP just for components. I really appreciate that managing components gives me a handle on long lead time parts and helps with prototype builds. The one-click purchasing feature is very convenient, as Cofactr goes out to dozens of suppliers and manages the complexity of numerous orders. The program's feature for structuring a high-level BOM makes it easy to do a purchasing BOM without creating a specific bill of materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes Cofactr doesn't have the best price, so I've had to buy outside of it a handful of times. It also doesn't easily support other catalog items, like fittings or mechanical parts, as well as it does electrical parts. I wish they would include items from catalog services like McMaster-Carr, Newark, or Granger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Thanks for the honest review, Steve—we really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. It’s great to hear Cofactr is helping streamline your component management, and we value the candid feedback on pricing and catalog coverage—that kind of input helps us keep improving.
Good news! We already support McMaster and Newark, and Grainger is on the roadmap. Expanding into more mechanical and MRO parts is a big focus for us. If you’re open to it, we’d love to connect and make sure you’re getting the most out of those integrations. Thanks again for being part of the Cofactr community!
