OpenBOM has proven to be an invaluable tool in our product development and manufacturing processes. This cloud-based platform offers a comprehensive suite of features that simplifies bill of materials (BOM) management and enhances collaboration among team members and suppliers. One of the standout features of OpenBOM is its user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to create, edit, and organize BOMs. The intuitive drag-and-drop functionality allows for seamless manipulation of BOM structures, and the ability to specify quantities, add descriptions, and manage revisions ensures accuracy and clarity throughout the development cycle.

I love the ease of generating PDFs and STEP files, which are stored in the OpenBOM 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 appreciate that I don't need to use space on my hard drive or a local server since everything is in the OpenBOM cloud, avoiding cumbersome folder systems in Drive and providing greater security. The transition from Excel to OpenBOM helped us a lot and it has been a great advancement to eliminate manual editing errors. Whenever I've had issues, customer support has responded in a helpful and quick manner.

It’s easy to customize and align with our current process. While we work to fully integrate to OpenBOM we can still export to excel so our procurement group can proceed with its normal process.
