Altium 365 BOM Portal: Designed to improve collaboration between engineering and procurement (Graphic: Business Wire)

Procurement professionals now have visibility into upcoming designs before they are released, enabling them to catch issues early in the development process. Both procurement and engineering teams benefit from a comprehensive dashboard that monitors all Bills of Materials (BOMs) in production and provides immediate insights into any parts supply issues.

The BOM Portal on Altium 365 fosters efficient collaboration and informed decision-making across the product lifecycle. By integrating with top data sources like Octopart, SiliconExpert, and S&P Global, it provides companies with real-time, accurate component data. This is crucial for making smart, data-driven decisions.

"We are thrilled to unveil the BOM Portal as an integral part of our Altium 365 platform," states Ananth Avva, GM and Sr. Vice President of Cloud Platform at Altium. "With the complexities of modern electronics development in mind, the BOM Portal addresses the critical point when the process moves from design to realization. Specifically, the BOM Portal creates a digital BOM that intelligently enables procurement, manufacturing, and engineering professionals to collaborate effectively. Our unwavering commitment to revolutionizing the electronics design process is evident in this launch, aiming to enhance efficiency, mitigate risks, and ensure a cohesive workflow. This commitment is extended into the ecosystem that we are building with strategic partners such as Silicon Expert, IHS, and Z2Data."

Key Capabilities of the BOM Portal:

  • BOM Management Integrated with Hardware Development: BOM Portal breaks down barriers between engineering and procurement teams, fostering direct communication and significantly reducing the risk of miscommunication, mistakes, and delays.
  • Advanced Data Integration: BOM Portal provides access to real-time, detailed component information from Octopart, S&P Global (formerly IHS Markit), SiliconExpert, and soon Z2Data, enhancing the procurement and design process.
  • Comprehensive BOM Management: BOM Portal equips users with tools for efficient BOM management, including automatic data enrichment with part details and lifecycle information.
  • Risk Mitigation: BOM Portal proactively identifies potential supply chain disruptions and component obsolescence, enabling timely responses to component and market fluctuations.
  • Cost and Time Efficiency: Up to 80% of PCB designs require part replacements, often taking 40 hours to resolve sourcing issues*. The capabilities of BOM Portal coupled with our data integrations reduces this to a fraction of the time, expediting the design process and reducing time to market.

The BOM Portal exemplifies Altium's ongoing innovation within the Altium 365 platform. It highlights Altium's dedication to creating integrated solutions for electronics development that not only reduce time to market but also enhance product quality and sustainability.
