Case Study: Bridge Appliances automates product definition and manufacturing with OpenBOM

How Bridge Appliances is Automating the Perfect Egg with OpenBOM and Deskera

Bridge Appliances, a company developing automated food preparation equipment for the hospitality industry, faced challenges in managing product data and transitioning from R&D to production. They needed a solution to organize component specifications, track supplier quotes, and manage bills of materials efficiently to support their agile development process and avoid slowing down their small engineering team.

By implementing OpenBOM for product definition and BOM management, the company gained a single source of truth for all product data. OpenBOM's integrations with Solidworks and Octopart drastically reduced time-consuming tasks, saving hours of engineering time each week and cutting the duration of BOM-related tasks from weeks to just days. This provided crucial visibility into sourcing and costs, positioning Bridge Appliances for a smooth leap into volume manufacturing.
