Developer’s Description

Manage electronic components and bill of materials throughout the product life cycle.

Ciiva is an electronic component management tool which has been designed to revolutionize the way components are managed throughout the Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) process. 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). Having instant access to information such as lifecycle status, potential alternatives, real-time and historical pricing and availability, 'where used', and 'who, when and what changed' can help design engineers and procurement personnel make better decisions throughout the product lifecycle, from initial component selection in a design, to understanding the impact of an obsolescence notification.

Ciiva is a single source for all of this information and more, saving you hours of time scouring multiple sources, trying to find reliable information you need to make important decisions. Many of today's electronic devices contain a large number of components, from a variety of different manufacturers and suppliers. 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. For many companies, this can involve an error prone manual change to a spreadsheet or document, with no record of who made the changes, when they were made or why they were made. 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.

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.
