Additionally, I would love to see deeper integrations with ERP and purchasing systems out of the box. Right now, it's great for CAD to BOM, but bridging the gap to procurement and manufacturing software could make it even more powerful.

With regards to the columns, you can define "user defined views" in OpenBOM - they will eliminate columns you don't need. I hope it helps.

DB Daniel B. Senior Mechanical Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/18/2025 "Efficient BOM Management with a Few Growing Pains" 3.5/5 What do you like best about OpenBOM? What I really appreciate about OpenBOM is how easy it was to get started. The interface feels familiar—very spreadsheet-like—but with a lot more structure and flexibility. I especially like the real-time collaboration features, which have made it much easier for my team to stay in sync, even when we’re working remotely. The ability to integrate with CAD tools has saved a ton of time and helped us reduce manual errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenBOM? While the core functionality is solid, I’ve found that some of the more advanced features aren’t always intuitive. There was a bit of a learning curve in the beginning, especially when setting up integrations and understanding how to fully customize the data structure. I also ran into a couple of performance issues when working with larger assemblies, which slowed things down a bit. Customer support has been helpful overall, but response times can vary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenBOM solving and how is that benefiting you? OpenBOM has helped me get away from managing BOMs in spreadsheets, which was messy and error-prone. Now I have a centralized, cloud-based source of truth that everyone on the team can access and update in real time. It’s made our workflow more reliable and saves a lot of back-and-forth, especially when dealing with part changes or versioning. The integration with CAD tools has also cut down on redundant data entry, which used to take up a lot of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d appreciate it if you could share more details about your experience—especially around setting up complex structures, configuring the system, and the support response time. We know the Surgical Science team very well and work closely with them on every ticket and issue. Feel free to reach out to me directly at oleg@openbom.com.

It’s well organized, and it helps us get the production file without needing to convert files to PDF or XT. It also produces a great Excel BOM, which makes the workflow much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenBOM? Sometimes it doesn’t update correctly, and it ends up creating a big mess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenBOM solving and how is that benefiting you? The main benefit is that the entire company can use the same BOM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm curious if you can share what means "Sometimes it doesn’t update correctly". Do you have some specific examples? Our engineers would be happy to address them.

JV James V. President/Owner Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/17/2025 ""Catalogs" of parts and assemblies available for our entire engineering team is powerful" 4.5/5 What do you like best about OpenBOM? We uploaded our existing Exel BOMs into the catalogs and now all the parts we make, components we purchase, and sub-assemblies we make/purchase are all available with current costs to our entire engineering team-remote or on-site. Our 400-500 part, custom industrial machinery BOMs are readily available to duplicate and then customize for the next job and because they are linked to the catalog, current costs are available. Quoting is using the same system now so the materials part of the quote is much more accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OpenBOM? We are still trying to navigate controlling revisions, versions, etc., it seems to be loose. There does not seem to be a function to make your change backwards compatible i.e. if you update a part in a catalog, do you want the new part to be referenced in prior BOMs or just new BOMs...if you rename a part through the Item Info screen, it breaks the prior BOMs using that pre-edit part number...Be careful after updating parts in catalogs or BOMs...there is no "save" function so reloading pages is a good practice but that does not always seem to update...close and reopen helps. Getting a formatted print out without exporting to Excel is not robust. Cost info in Excel exports is not numeric...has to be converted to numbers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OpenBOM solving and how is that benefiting you? We are closer to "one truth" about our parts and components we use. BOMs for prior jobs are much easier to find and access than with spreadsheets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d love to better understand your "renaming" use case — are you changing Part Numbers, renaming CAD files, or something else? OpenBOM traces relationships via Part Numbers and CAD file names, so it's important to understand the specifics. Also, we support multiple versions of Excel, and formatting issues can occasionally arise due to that. It would be great if you could contact our support team to clarify further.
