Master Your Product Structure with Intelligent BOM Management

Transform your manufacturing operations with our comprehensive Bill of Materials management solution.

From simple assemblies to complex multi-level products, maintain accurate product structures, optimize material usage, and streamline production planning with precision and efficiency.

What is Bill of Materials Management?

Bill of Materials (BOM) management is the systematic process of creating, maintaining, and controlling the complete structure of manufactured products. A BOM defines all components, sub-assemblies, raw materials, and quantities required to manufacture a finished product. Modern BOM management systems provide digital frameworks for managing product structures throughout their lifecycle, from initial design through production, maintenance, and eventual phase-out, ensuring manufacturing accuracy and cost optimization.
