The powerful one-click BOM leads users down a much improved user experience of creating and maintaining BOM.

Michael White is President and founder of DIGITALCARBON, a firm that relies on OpenBOM and Onshape to design and model complex composting systems says, "The killer features are cloud collaboration, Catalog Items as a single source of truth, and live CAD integration. OpenBOM is Google sheets for manufacturing."

OpenBOM customers like the Onshape app extension as it enables the OpenBOM bi-dierectional integration in the context of the assembly with images, part numbers, description and everything the user needs to convey a complete BOM of what needs to be built.

Says Byron van Gool IMBU Mechanical Engineering Manager. "We rely on the ability of OpenBOM to integrate tightly with our Onshape design structure and create a Multi-Level BOM. We then connect our OpenBOM item master catalog to that BOM to enable reuse of our extensive items catalog".
