OpenBOM is a modern Bill of Materials and Part Catalog Management tool which lets you take full advantage of the cloud not only in design scenarios, but also in production planning, cost calculations, management of central part catalogs for your team or shop, and collaboration with contractors and suppliers outside of the design realm.

openBoM, the world’s first cloud BOM management tool specifically designed to help manufacturing companies manage and track BOMs across organizational and geographic boundaries is now available as an app seamlessly integrated within the Onshape environment, the world’s first full cloud CAD solution.

Taking bill of materials management into the cloud allows small engineering companies—such as hardware startups–and contract manufacturers to track and share data and offers easy BOM data import from design tools, said the two co-founders of openBoM.

Manufacturing is changing and with it comes a need to change the way BoMs are managed. The change is brought about by several trends in the market. These include globalization of manufacturing and supply chain, a growing number of new hardware developers, a surge in the maker movement, increased reliance on contract manufacturing, and variety of new manufacturing practices including adoption of internet and mobile tools and technologies.
