OpenBOM PLM Implementation
Cloud-based product lifecycle management for small and mid-size manufacturers who need powerful features without enterprise complexity
Why OpenBOM for Small & Mid-Size Manufacturers?
Purpose-built for manufacturers who’ve outgrown Excel but don’t need enterprise PLM complexity
The SME Challenge
Excel spreadsheets work fine for 5-10 products. But when you’re managing hundreds of BOMs, multiple CAD systems, engineering changes, supplier data, and a growing team — Excel becomes the bottleneck. Version conflicts, manual errors, lost data, and hours wasted searching for the “latest” file.
Cloud-Based
No servers, no IT infrastructure, no maintenance. Access from anywhere with just a browser and internet connection.
Multi-CAD Support
Works with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, Fusion 360, Onshape, and more. One BOM for all your CAD systems.
Affordable Pricing
Subscription-based model designed for SMEs. No massive upfront costs, no long-term contracts, predictable monthly pricing.
Fast Implementation
Go live in weeks, not months. Familiar Excel-like interface means minimal learning curve for your team.
Real-Time Collaboration
Engineering, manufacturing, and procurement work from the same live data. No more email attachments or version conflicts.
Supply Chain Ready
Share BOMs with suppliers, track quotes, manage vendor data. Connect your entire manufacturing network.
