Case Study: ShredLights streamlines configurable kit BOMs with OpenBOM

Shredlights uses OpenBOM to developed a set of master BOMs to define and manage combo kit configurations

ShredLights, a designer of innovative lighting systems for action sports, needed a way to manage the complex configurations of its customizable combo kits sold online. They struggled to synchronize their inventory and Shopify sales data to create accurate purchase orders, a process that was inefficient and error-prone using their previous methods.

OpenBOM provided the solution by enabling ShredLights to develop a set of master bills of materials (BOMs) to define and manage all possible kit configurations. This allowed them to accurately plan for any customer order combination and generate precise item quantities for procurement. The implementation gave ShredLights quick insight into customer demand and the ability to model potential changes. The team specifically praised OpenBOM's ease of use and the benefit of visual, image-based BOMs over their previous text-based systems.
