OpenBOM helps you to create and organize your Bill of Materials, Catalogs, Inventory levels, Vendors and Purchase Orders. OpenBOM works like Excel but for manufacturing and is much easier to use than PLM, ERP and other BOM management tools and doesn't require special skills. OpenBOM is integrated with all popular CAD, PLM, ERP products and many business tools and can import, export and synch with your existing Excel files. With OpenBOM you can automatically generate 2D/3D PDF's of your SOLIDWORKS CAD files (even drawings) and store them in your preferred cloud storage (Dropbox, GDrive, BOX, A360, and more) to be easily shared with the extended team. BOMs and Catalogs support simultaneous multi user editing a-la Google Docs and have a rich set of share controls. OpenBOM is visual and includes images for all parts and assemblies. OpenBOM can calculate and rollup values through multiple levels for cost, weight, or most any property. OpenBOM keeps track of all changes in a change history log which can be used to compare revisions and versions.
