Chose OpenBOM
OpenBOM is mainly BOM-centric, whilst PLM solutions have much wider functionality, suitable for cross-department activities. We are in constant search and evaluation of a one-fits-all solution and, I must say, after a price spike, OpenBOM doesn't look as attractive as it used to.
Chose OpenBOM
-We selected for ease of use and ease of implementation
-We wanted to keep our overhead low
-We wanted to track some inventory and this was helpful for that in a lightweight manner

OpenBOM
OpenBOM is well suited for users who require the ability to have a "structured sandbox" when it comes to part, BOM, and vendor management. By having this structure, it allows for consistent capturing of key information, in a structured way, while also being dynamic where approved users can modify the information without too much overhead. We're using it for a medical device.

Return on Investment
OpenBOM
  • We are yet to establish the ROI at a given subscription tier and compare it to other similar-priced solutions.
