What is Bill of materials (BOM) software?
The bill of materials is the backbone of every product: it determines what you buy, make and cost. BOM software keeps those bills, revisions and variants under control, so purchasing, planning and production all work from one correct product structure.
Unlike a spreadsheet, BOM software manages multi-level bills, revisions and variants with version control, linked to CAD/PLM and ERP.
Key features of BOM software
- Manage multi-level bills of materials
- Revisions and version control
- Product variants and options
- Where-used and change impact analysis
- Integration with CAD/PLM and ERP
In production, an outdated or incorrect bill of materials leads directly to wrong purchases and failure costs. Good BOM software keeps every version correct and traceable, so engineering and production stay in step. When comparing, what matters is version management and your integrations.
What to look for when choosing BOM software
- whether it handles multi-level bills, variants and revisions
- references from comparable manufacturers
- where-used and change impact analysis
- integration with CAD/PLM and ERP
- implementation time, training and vendor support
Switching production software is disruptive to the shop floor. Selecting sharply up front on the fit with your production type, your integrations and usability prevents a costly misstep.
