Case Study: Anyglide streamlines engineering, RFQ, and purchasing with OpenBOM

Iowa, USA based Anyglide Improves Engineering, RFQ, and Purchasing Processes Using OpenBOM

Anyglide, a manufacturer of cargo storage systems based in Iowa, was struggling with inefficient engineering and procurement processes. Their challenges included a lack of part numbering, duplicated data entry across multiple Excel spreadsheets for RFQs and purchase orders, and an inability to leverage CAD data throughout the organization.

By implementing OpenBOM, the company integrated their SolidWorks CAD data directly into the platform, eliminating manual re-entry. The OpenBOM solution provided a centralized catalog, vendor management, and automated BOM updates. This resulted in a dramatic reduction in process times, cutting a half-day RFQ update process down to a single button press. OpenBOM enabled accurate cost roll-ups, eliminated all duplicate data entry, and significantly accelerated their R&D cycle, opening up new make-to-order business opportunities.
