Case Study: OnQ cuts BOM and purchase order processing time by 50% with OpenBOM

OnQ is saving up to 50% of the time to engineering and purchase team to manage BOMs and Purchase Orders using OpenBOM

OnQ, a provider of custom retail displays and experiences, was struggling with the inefficiencies of managing Bills of Materials (BOMs) and purchase orders manually using shared Excel files. This process led to frequent change orders and a lack of a single, searchable system for their complex design data, creating a significant challenge for their engineering and operations teams. They partnered with OpenBOM to find a solution.

OpenBOM provided a centralized platform that integrated with OnQ's Solidworks environment, creating a reliable and accurate system of record. The solution automated data management, provided visual part previews, and streamlined the handoff from engineering to purchasing. As a result, OpenBOM helped OnQ's purchasing team reduce the time to process a BOM and order by up to 50%, while also improving data standardization and overall workflow efficiency across the company.
