Arrow.com is proud to introduce our upgraded BOM Management Tool, designed to provide the fastest and most economical way to create and optimize your bill of materials.
We are thrilled to provide early access to our new and improved BOM (Bill of Materials) Tool. Beyond giving it a flashy new look and enhancing the user experience, we have added some pretty exciting updates. Existing users, no need to be alarmed – the general work flow is the same. For the power buyers, our BOM Tool provides fast results on all key parameters, including price and availability. Instantly and simultaneously quote hundreds of items. If a product is not currently available in our inventory, you will be recommended alternative parts that will potentially fulfill your needs faster.
Highlights of the new BOM Management Tool:
• Quotes and tracks your entire BOM at once.
• Identifies line items that need attention due to availability, obsolescence, or quantity.
• Calculates price break levels based on your quantity: Tool also supports customer-specific pricing for those who qualify.
• Recommends alternate part options: Instantly view inventory status and see recommended cross references to out of stock items, potentially fulfilling your needs faster.
• Smart recognition column matching during BOM import: Automatically recognizes which column is the manufacturer, part number, etc. in your uploaded BOM file. Of course, you can still make edits later if need be.
• Real-time BOM access: Asynchronicity provides real time access to your BOM, allowing you to work even while it refreshes data.
• SiliconExpert-backed database: Instant access to 300+ million parts.
• BOM to e-Commerce cart integration: Ability to add smaller BOMs directly to your cart and check out via Arrow.com
• Supports massive line item BOMs: Built on cutting-edge technology, the BOM tool can now support thousands of line items in a single BOM!
• Free with no installation required: You don’t even need to log in to access basic functionality. The BOM tool can be used with complete anonymity. However, once logged in, you have a bit more capability such as being able to duplicate, delete, or save multiple BOMs to your account for future use.
• Seamless integration with OrCAD™: If you create a new design in our OrCAD™ schematic capture tool, you will automatically have a BOM created in the BOM Tool with all of your selected parts reflected, helping you get that much closer to completing your project.
