Case Study: Kapsch reduces engineering time by 30% with OpenBOM

OpenBOM Helps Kapsch BusinessCom To Manage Sales Process For Configurable Custom Developed Products Reducing Engineering Time by 30%

Kapsch BusinessCom, a company that builds complex and configurable products for manufacturing clients, faced challenges in managing the sales and engineering process for their custom-developed equipment. They struggled with collaboration using multi-level Excel files, which led to errors and inefficiencies in creating accurate pre-sale quotes and bills of materials (BOMs). To address this, they turned to the vendor OpenBOM and its product data management platform.

OpenBOM provided a solution using its template and revision control features. This allowed Kapsch's pre-sales engineers to start from standardized BOM templates and configure them for specific customer needs, ensuring accuracy and saving time. The solution also provided traceability for all calculations and enabled seamless export to their ERP system. As a result, OpenBOM reduced Kapsch's engineering time by 30%, significantly increased team effectiveness, and unlocked the ability to collaborate on multi-level BOMs simultaneously.
