BOM Portal manages bills of materials inside Altium 365, with parts & supply chain data built in. It takes a design from a prototype BOM to a production purchase order in one place, so engineering and procurement work from the same part availability, pricing, lifecycle, and compliance data instead of trading spreadsheets. It helps teams to manage the BOM health state and costs by using smart part insights and savings opportunities.

Three Problems It Solves

1. Engineering and procurement work in silos

BOM Co-design creates a bidirectional workflow between Altium Designer and the BOM Portal. Engineers see procurement recommendations; procurement sees design intent.

2. Finding the best supplier takes too long

The Order List compares pricing, stock levels, and lead times across enabled distributors. Saving Opportunities identify cost reductions automatically.

3. Parts go obsolete without warning:

BOM Portal monitors lifecycle status across your designs. When a part moves to NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) or EOL (End of Life), you see it in the dashboard with alternatives ready to evaluate.

Who Uses It

●      Procurement teams managing supplier relationships and purchase orders

●      Design engineers selecting parts with supply chain awareness

●      Supply chain managers tracking risk across multiple projects

●      Product managers understanding cost implications of design decisions
