Austro Navigator is a vertical ERP platform designed for electronics sourcing and supply chain operations. It helps electronics companies manage BOM complexity, sourcing risk, component availability, supplier data, and pricing volatility through a unified core engine. Rather than using a generic ERP model, Austro Navigator adapts its workflows and capabilities to different business models across the electronics supply chain.
The platform is organized into role-specific Editions that operate on the same core data engine, allowing organizations to keep component, price, supplier, and operational data connected across workflows. Customers can activate additional Editions while maintaining unified data rather than creating separate information silos.
The EMS Edition is designed for contract manufacturers and EMS teams that quote and manufacture against customer BOMs. It provides manufacturer matching, BOM-to-assembly cost rollups, long-term component availability analysis, and quote-to-production traceability to support accurate quoting and production continuity.
The OEM Edition is designed for product companies and hardware teams. It supports lifecycle risk analysis, approved vendor logic (AVL), and multi-supplier comparison, helping teams evaluate component lifecycle, supplier constraints, pricing, lead times, and inventory before design decisions are locked.
The Distributor Edition is designed for independent distributors operating in volatile component markets. It focuses on high-speed sourcing and RFQ orchestration, with spot and auction logic, risk intelligence, CRM integration, and pricing history and traceability to support faster quoting and margin control.
The Manufacturing Edition is designed for vertically integrated manufacturers that need to connect sourcing with factory operations. It provides BOM-to-production mapping, supplier contract management, and cost tracking across production stages.
A Finance Add-on can be activated on top of any Edition to provide a financial control layer for margin analysis, audit trails, pricing transparency, financial exposure modeling, and compliance-related controls. It is an add-on rather than a standalone Edition.
Across these workflows, Austro Navigator is designed to provide a connected operating environment for electronics sourcing, from BOM and supplier considerations through sourcing decisions, pricing, production-related workflows, and financial accountability. Its core architecture is intended to maintain a single source of truth for components, prices, and suppliers while allowing the operational logic to adapt to the organization's business model.
