Case Study: Culligan Rochester eliminates BOM mistakes and enables real-time collaboration with OpenBOM

Culligan Rochester Eliminates BOM Mistakes and Enable Real-Time Team Collaboration with OpenBOM

Culligan Rochester, a third-generation business and leader in the Culligan franchise industry, needed to create a lean engineering team that could collaborate effectively with its in-house manufacturing to design water purification systems. Their challenge was eliminating time-consuming back-and-forth and mistakes in creating Bills of Materials (BOMs), as they were reinventing their product line from scratch. They sought an affordable alternative to vast and costly ERP systems.

By implementing OpenBOM, the team streamlined their process. The solution provided seamless Solidworks integration, enabling them to generate accurate BOMs with images and part numbers in minutes instead of hours. OpenBOM’s real-time sharing capabilities allowed the entire organization, including sales for quoting, to access data and approve changes quickly. This resulted in a significant reduction of mistakes and provided an affordable, reliable platform for company-wide collaboration.
