OpenBOM has reduced my working hours. I like that the initial interface seems quite straightforward, and I find the idea of managing BOMs and component information in one place useful, especially for engineering work. I’m still exploring it and would like to learn more about its features.

I love the ease of generating PDFs and STEP files, which are stored in OpenBOM's cloud, allowing other team members to access the information without the option to modify it. I use the OpenBOM plugin in SolidWorks to make drawings and automatically generate 2D PDFs and 3D STEP files along with descriptions and part numbers, which streamlines the process. I also greatly value that I don't need to use space on my hard drive or a local server since everything is in OpenBOM's cloud, avoiding cumbersome folder systems on Drive and providing greater security. The transition from Excel to OpenBOM helped us a lot and has been a great advance in eliminating manual editing errors. Whenever I've had issues, customer service has responded helpfully and quickly.

I use OpenBOM with SolidWorks to generate a digital BOM in one click instead of manually entering part numbers, descriptions, and quantities in Excel. I like that it extracts the entire assembly structure and automatically adds visual previews of every SolidWorks part to the cloud BOM. The thumbnails make it easy for procurement and manufacturing teams to identify parts without a CAD license. I also like the virtual quality control when assembling complex hardware, and setup was very easy with not many steps.
