Case Study: Independent NeuroScience Services streamlines custom microscope BOM management with OpenBOM

Revolutionizing Neuroscience with OpenBOM INSS’ Journey to Excellence

Independent NeuroScience Services (INSS), a UK-based maker of bespoke Multiphoton Microscopy systems, required a low-cost, agile solution to manage the complex custom bills of materials for their one-off, engineer-to-order products. They needed a system with a simple, spreadsheet-like interface to replace clunky data-entry tools and support their specific business processes, leading them to the OpenBOM platform.

OpenBOM provided a familiar spreadsheet interface and best-practice guidance for BOM management. The solution allowed INSS to seamlessly manage both designed and purchased parts in a single process and easily create new BOMs from templates. The results included a streamlined engineering and manufacturing planning process, enabling INSS to reliably deliver their highly precise microscope systems to clients worldwide. The company has renewed its OpenBOM subscription annually for nearly five years, valuing its ongoing improvements, outstanding support, and great value.
