Case Study: Digital Carbon streamlines BOM sharing and collaboration with OpenBOM

Digital Carbon - Customer Case Study

The customer, Digital Carbon, which focuses on detailed modeling to streamline construction projects, faced significant challenges generating and sharing Bills of Materials (BOMs). Their issues included the complexity of managing different part types and the inability to easily share CAD-generated BOM data with team members who lacked specialized software. They turned to the vendor, OpenBOM, for a solution.

OpenBOM provided a cloud-based platform that served as a single source of truth for BOM data. The solution allowed Digital Carbon to invite anyone to view and edit BOMs, breaking down collaboration barriers. A key feature was the ability to link these cloud-based BOMs directly to drawings within their CAD system. Furthermore, OpenBOM's catalog function eliminated data duplication across similar projects. The result was a streamlined process that reduced the potential for errors and requests for information (RFIs), leading to more efficient project assembly.
