Case Study: Contromax improves aerospace BOM and product structure management with OpenBOM

Contromax streamlines aerospace BOM management across 3 disciplines with OpenBOM

Contromax, an aerospace actuator developer, faced challenges managing complex multi-disciplinary product data across mechanical, electronics, and software teams. Their reliance on spreadsheets and shared files led to version control issues and data gaps, which presented significant risks for their flight-critical components. They sought a solution to unify their bill of materials (BOM) management and turned to OpenBOM for its product data platform.

OpenBOM provided a structured yet familiar spreadsheet-like interface to manage the complete product structure, revisions, and component data in one place. This solution ensured all engineering teams worked from a single source of truth, improving traceability and reducing errors. The implementation by OpenBOM resulted in less time spent hunting for current data, faster onboarding for new engineers, and the creation of an organized, auditable product record required for aerospace development.
