OpenBOM
OpenBOM is a cloud product data platform that connects CAD, BOM, PDM, PLM, engineering change, procurement and ERP workflows. Its cloud PDM centralizes CAD files and supports locking, versions, revisions, releases, SmartSync and automatic BOM extraction. The digital xBOM can represent EBOM, MBOM, SBOM and other views as single-level, multi-level or flattened structures. Engineers can work on shared data in real time, attaching comments, tasks and mentions to items. Procurement workflows include inventory, RFQs, purchase orders and supplier or contractor collaboration. Listed CAD integrations include SOLIDWORKS, Altium Designer, Onshape, Autodesk Fusion, PTC Creo, Siemens NX and Autodesk Inventor; ERP examples include QuickBooks, NetSuite and SAP. Free access covers up to 2,000 data records, and the service lists a 14-day trial. Professional Team is $30 a year (billed yearly; $30 per seat per month). Only users who edit or manage data need paid seats; CAD add-ins require an active Team or Company subscription and a license for each user needing integration.
