Integrated BOM Management
Procurement and purchasing teams can actively participate in design decisions throughout the entire development lifecycle. You can replace a part at any stage with tools to trace the impact, and a straightforward process manages the change via an engineering change order (ECO) from a BOM document or a comment attached to a BOM entry.
Proactive Risk and Cost Management
BOM documents are automatically enriched with up-to-date price, availability, manufacturer lifecycle, and alternate part choice data from leading providers including Octopart, IHS Markit, and SiliconExpert. You can also proactively monitor your BOM health with automated checks for issues.
Make Better Decisions with Supply Chain Data
Embed real-time supply chain data within your design flow to enable engineers and procurement teams to make informed decisions during part research with details on price, availability, compliance, and risks.This minimizes back-and-forth discussions between teams and ensures alignment from the beginning of a project

With over ten thousand companies worldwide using Altium 365 to design electronics,
the platform has become the new modern standard in hardware design.
Entrepreneur at Deciduous Forest AB
“Usually, the first prototypes I do need to happen quickly. So we have 48h for boards, during which time I order components. Here is so much thanks to the ActiveBOM and the handling there, it simplifies the work immensely. Then I take these boards and send them to a local lab. They can hand/semi-automatically mount almost anything in 4-8 hours. ‘Yesterday’ this was done using paper and Excel. ‘Today’ we moved to Altium 365 with ActiveBOM. ‘Tomorrow’ I hope we could use the Assembly App where they can tick off anything they have mounted. It is just fabulous.”
Senior Hardware Specialist at Kärcher
“We now have the feature to check which component is in which product, and we can even see with ActiveBOM which components are end-of-life or obsolete. This is a great tool and gives a big, big benefit and also, it's possible for the purchasers that they check now inside Altium 365 which components are used where. And they can even check the availability and end-of-life information.”
