• Product life cycle and bill of materials management

  Mountain-ViewSeptember 1, 2013

  Pros

  It's a dedicated software for keeping full track of changes in product life cycle and bill of materials. I think it's designed for electronic engineer and procurement stuff. The embedded search engine of the global electronic part database is beyond my exception.

  Cons

  It's not 400K in size, that's only the size of installer. It is indeed 20M in size.

  Summary

  Compact and easy to use software dedicated for electronic engineers and procurement stuff.

• A powerful cloud based software free for up to 3 users

  Tyer_lSeptember 1, 2013

  Pros

  Fast and easy to use. Smooth import and export from Excel Demo db helps a lot. Free for up to 3 users and 5GB storage, nice. Work collaboratively in real-time with other colleagues on the same BOM. Good technical support. Frequent feature updates. It comes with a powerful search engine.

  Cons

  Need to sign up for the first time use.

  Summary

  A piece of true professional business software. The free version is good enough for freelancer, small and medium enterprise. My company is too big to adopt it in short term but I can still start it with my personal database.

• A business software

  HuongTXAugust 19, 2013

  Pros

  It brings together information sources which are normally fragmented or until now were simply not available and places them at your fingertips, while at the same time providing a powerful, yet simple way of managing your product bill of materials (BOM)

  Cons

  Changes to a BOM can happen at various stages throughout the lifecycle of a product, often without changing original hardware design data, such as schematics or layout

  Summary

  Ciiva provides a fully traceable, version controlled BOM management feature, where every component used in a BOM is linked to an access controlled, centralized component library.
