Faster Bill of Materials Completion with Enriched Supply Chain Data
Design boards faster with enriched parts and supply chain data. BOM Portal brings the latest part specifications, compliance information, manufacturer lifecycles, availability, and pricing data into your BOM. With accurate and up-to-date BOM management information, your engineering and procurement teams can work together to reduce expensive rework and delays.
Data-Driven BOM Analysis for Supply Chain Risk Mitigation
Find supply chain problems before they cost you money and time. Altium 365 BOM analysis provides warnings and errors based on real-time supply chain data. Electronics design teams can account for component shortages, price fluctuations, and end-of-life issues before they disrupt production.
BOM Management with Spreadsheet Simplicity
Manage and edit your BOMs with the ease of a spreadsheet and the visibility of an advanced document control system. Share BOMs securely with internal and external stakeholders. Create and store BOM releases as separate revisions with customizable lifecycle states.
Comprehensive Part Library and Traceability
Improve your part management with a component library that fosters reusability and traceability. Create and edit components from BOM items, adapt part choices, track part usage across designs and BOM documents, and share predictive reporting on BOM and library health.
Key Capabilities
Consolidate BOMs to Reduce Costs and Streamline Orders
Combine multiple BOMs into a single, optimized list, so you can adjust quantities and select the best parts with minimal effort. BOM Portal helps you consolidate similar parts, reducing the number of unique parts and lowering costs through bulk ordering. Once optimized, export your BOM or place orders directly via Octocart.
Gain Part Visibility for Parts in Use Across All BOMs and Projects
Keep track of every part used across all your projects with a centralized view. You can monitor parts in use, track lifecycle statuses, and ensure availability and compliance. By identifying opportunities to consolidate similar parts, BOM Portal reduces BOM management complexity, cuts costs, and enhances the consistency of your designs. BOM Portal supports better planning and enables faster decision-making in your supply chain management.
Protect Your Supply Chain with Advanced Data Integrations
Strengthen your supply chain resilience by integrating advanced data sources like SiliconExpert and Z2Data directly into BOM Portal. Data integrations provide real-time insights into part availability, risks, and compliance. Improved supply chain visibility helps you to proactively manage potential supply chain disruptions. With enriched BOM data at your fingertips, you can make informed decisions quickly, ensuring that your projects stay on track and that your supply chain remains robust and flexible.
Enhance Collaboration with EE-Procurement CoDesign coming soon
Break down silos between engineering and procurement teams by integrating ECAD-Procurement CoDesign into your workflow. Collaborate seamlessly and allow teams to conduct 'what-if' analyses, evaluate manufacturing BOMs, and assess engineering changes in real-time. By keeping everyone aligned and reducing the need for repeated iterations, EE-Procurement CoDesign accelerates project timelines, improves accuracy, and ensures your designs move smoothly from concept to production.
Streamline BOM Management with Centralized Approved Vendors & Parts
Centralize all part data and approved vendors in a single, easily accessible library to simplify BOM management. Track BOM revisions, assess part risks, and manage lifecycle states—all within the same platform. Collaborate seamlessly with your design team or create new libraries from existing BOM items. With in-browser editing and 'where-used' tracking, you can effectively manage obsolescence and ensure that all project parts are up-to-date, compliant, and sourced from approved vendors.
Connect Electronic BOMs with PLM and ERP Systems
Streamline your BOM management by integrating Altium 365 BOM Portal with leading cloud PLM and ERP systems like Arena and Duro. Integration enables bi-directional data exchange, ensuring that your BOMs, part data, and lifecycle information are always up-to-date across platforms. With a few clicks, you can synchronize revisions and update lifecycle states directly within the BOM Portal. Changes are automatically reflected in your PLM or ERP system. This connectivity minimizes errors, enhances collaboration between engineering and procurement, and accelerates time-to-market by ensuring that all stakeholders are working with the most current and accurate data throughout the product lifecycle.
