Supply Chain

Bridge the gap between engineering and procurement with
integrated BOM management and enhanced part data.

With Altium Develop, purchasing teams participate in design decisions throughout the development lifecycle. They can replace parts at any point with an engineering change order (ECO) from a BOM document or by adding a comment to a BOM entry.

Automatically enrich BOMs with current price, availability, lifecycle, and alternate part choices. Altium Develop offers out of the box integration with live data from Octopart, IHS Markit, SiliconExpert and Z2Data to proactively monitor your BOM health

Infuse your design workflow with up-to-date electronics supply chain data. When everyone can make informed part sourcing decisions based on price, availability, compliance, and risks, engineering teams and procurement teams can adjust in lock step.

Key Capabilities

Manage BOMs with Data-driven Analysis & Collaboration

Streamline shared BOM management between engineering and procurement. Automatically enrich BOMs with up-to-date supply chain data, enabling early risk detection and collaborative, multidisciplinary decisions throughout the development process.

“Usually, the first prototypes I do need to happen quickly. So we have 48h for boards, during which time I order components. Here is so much thanks to the ActiveBOM and the handling there, it simplifies the work immensely. Then I take these boards and send them to a local lab. They can hand/semi-automatically mount almost anything in 4-8 hours. ‘Yesterday’ this was done using paper and Excel. ‘Today’ we moved to Altium 365 with ActiveBOM. ‘Tomorrow’ I hope we could use the Assembly App where they can tick off anything they have mounted. It is just fabulous.”

“We now have the feature to check which component is in which product, and we can even see with ActiveBOM which components are end-of-life or obsolete. This is a great tool and gives a big, big benefit and also, it's possible for the purchasers that they check now inside Altium 365 which components are used where. And they can even check the availability and end-of-life information.”
