"Worried with your BOM management for your inventory ? Try OpenBOM you gonna love it !"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenBOM?

I value OpenBOM for its perfect blend of simplicity and robust functionality. Its has seamless CAD integration and real-time collaboration features are my personal favourite. It has installed as plugin within fusion app that it saves significant time, as i no need to launch another application, minimizes errors, and fosters effective teamwork. Features like the part catalog, repetitive usage options, pricing details, division tracking and cloud accessibility makes it one ideal piece of cake in your design software environment. The easy installation process of plugin directly available from fusion plugins site or their official website and 14 days trial makes it getting started even for newbies without wasting their fortune on new softwares.

What do you dislike about OpenBOM?

OpenBOM offers some powerful features but there are some limitations. I didn't like user interface personally as it feels clunky and outdated, that feels boring. It also not easy to learn and master quickly, as well with its limited headsup resources, makes it quite challenging to implement it 100%. Also, their pricing model is unclear, making it less accessible for smaller teams or startups and makes them to think again before purchase. The lack of a compatible mobile app or web based experience is another limitation, as some users might often need to access and keep track of their data on the go.

Response from Oleg Shilovitsky of OpenBOM

Akash, thank you for your comments and reviews. We appreciate user interface comments. Here are something you've potentially missed - Youtube channel and training libray website with a lot of resources you can use for implementation, special startup discount and transparent /pricing page online. OpenBOM runs on mobile browser and automatically generated QR code, makes information easy accessible via mobile devices. I hope it helps. Beyond all, our support, which is the best and liked by many customers.

"Streamlines Procurement with Real-Time Sync"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenBOM?

I love using OpenBOM for my procurement process because it provides complete readability and control by eliminating the chaos of scattered spreadsheets. It gives me real-time updates, ensuring that I always have the most accurate and up-to-date information about every component, supplier, time, and price without any delays. This real-time sync is a game changer, as I can instantly see any modifications made to parts, which builds my trust in OpenBOM. The software automatically updates quantities, finds shortages before they become a problem, and efficiently manages vendor data, pricing, and deals. I particularly appreciate the shortage alerts that warn me before a supply issue can escalate into a production problem. The rollups and shortage alerts save me from manual calculations, providing complete visibility and eliminating guesswork in the purchasing process. Thanks to OpenBOM, I can confidently make informed decisions, avoid procurement delays, and negotiate effectively. It has replaced much of my previous spreadsheet work and integrates well with other tools, making my workflow smoother and more organized. Additionally, the initial setup of OpenBOM was straightforward, and I was able to connect my tools and import my first Bill of Materials quickly. Overall, OpenBOM simplifies my procurement process, saves time, reduces errors, and streamlines operations, which is why I would highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenBOM?

I find the overall user interface of OpenBOM could be improved. While it is powerful, some aspects of the workflow still resemble the traditional spreadsheet approach, which could be more streamlined specifically for procurement tasks. When dealing with various vendors and part variants, the layout could be better optimized for these activities. Additionally, I experience some heavy loading times when working with complex BOMs that contain multiple levels and a lot of data. Vendor management is another area that could benefit from improvement, as more integration or customized supplier fields would further simplify purchasing tasks. Although these issues don't cause major problems, enhancements in these areas would make my job smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Oleg Shilovitsky of OpenBOM

Hello Aravindh, thank you for your review and feedback. I'm a bit surprised by your comment about customized fields. OpenBOM data model is completely flexible and you can add any attributes. Do you mind to contact our support and to validate that use case? Thank you, Oleg

In my opinion we felt quite difficult to get adapted, specially when we wanted to integrate OpenBom with our companies ERP.

"My Experience Using OpenBOM for Product Data Management"
4.5/5
What do you like best about OpenBOM?

Keeps track of changes, which is critical for product lifecycle management. Ability to manage cost roll-ups and supplier data efficiently.The integration with CAD tools is a huge time-saver, and the version control feature gives us confidence in tracking changes accurately. Overall, it makes BOM management faster, more organized, and transparent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenBOM?

OpenBOM has great functionality, but I wish the interface was more intuitive. At times, it feels like too many options are packed into a single view, which can be confusing for beginners and Occasionally, the integration setup with certain CAD tools can feel a bit technical and requires extra time to configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Oleg Shilovitsky of OpenBOM

Hello Balaji,

Thank you for your review and feedback.

We are working on improving the user interface and overall intuitiveness. This is not a simple task, as we need to balance it against the growing demand for new features.

The CAD setup reflects the inherent complexity of CAD systems. We are continuously improving, but since we support dozens of CAD system options, this sometimes results in additional technical setup steps.

It would be very helpful if you could contact our support team and share more details.

Best regards,

Oleg

I think the reporting features could use a bit more flexibility. We often need to see BOM data in different formats depending on the project, and having more control over that would really help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
