OpenBOM vs. Propel

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.

Scenario in which Propel is best on the grounds are : 1. Customer support is very enriching and helpful. 2. OMS electronic system is best part of it. 3. Salesforce platform is very user friendly. Scenario in which it needs improvement: 1. Platform releases sometimes affect business operation. 2. Preview and collaboration should be made very user friendly. 3. Variant and sharing management could be improved.

A major requirement for us was the ability to have a traditional ECN workflow, with multiple documents changed on the same workflow; most eQMS solutions do not include this capability. That ruled out several solutions for us. We selected Propel primarily because the cost was in-line with expectations and the reporting capabilities were excellent.

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