Case Study: VarTech Systems Saves Engineering Time and Improves BOM Accuracy with OpenBOM

VarTech Systems Optimizes Processes by Saving Two Hours of Engineering Time Daily with OpenBOM

VarTech Systems, a manufacturer of rugged computers and monitors, needed to manage complex bills of materials (BOMs) and provide accurate, up-to-date product information and pricing across their engineering, purchasing, and manufacturing teams. Their previous process using Excel was error-prone and created bottlenecks, as all inquiries about components had to go through the engineering department, which was an inefficient use of valuable time.

By implementing OpenBOM, the vendor provided a centralized platform for BOM and inventory management. The solution automated data updates across all documents, provided powerful "where used" analysis for assessing the impact of changes, and enabled automatic cost roll-ups for accurate sales quotes. OpenBOM saved the company two hours of engineering time daily, eliminated costly pricing mistakes, and ensured the entire team was always working with the most current information.
