Case Study: PVA TePla OKOS boosts efficiency and reduces inventory errors with OpenBOM

OpenBOM makes OKOS team 20% more efficient by helping to reduce inventory errors, costs, and streamlining supplier process

PVA TePla OKOS, a manufacturer of scanning acoustic microscopes, faced significant challenges scaling its manufacturing operations beyond its initial use of Excel spreadsheets. The company, which did not have a dedicated IT department, found that Excel led to hardships with no version control, a lack of images for items, and an inability to manage complex bills of materials effectively. The high cost and complexity of traditional ERP systems were not viable solutions for their needs.

By implementing OpenBOM, the company found a simple, cloud-based solution that was easy for its engineers and technicians to adopt without extensive training or consultants. OpenBOM provided a centralized data model with integrated images to prevent inventory errors and streamline the supplier process. The results were substantial, with OpenBOM making the entire team 20% more efficient and saving an estimated 40 high-value engineering hours every month.
