Predictive risk scoring
Every BOM part scored on lead-time, single-source, obsolescence and geopolitical risk — updated hourly.
BOMB (Bill of Materials Intelligence) turns your BOM into a predictive decision engine — surfacing component shortages, lead-time risk and production bottlenecks weeks before they hit the line.
Deployed by contract manufacturers and OEMs across electronics, aerospace, automotive and medical devices
Every BOM part scored on lead-time, single-source, obsolescence and geopolitical risk — updated hourly.
Early warning on component shortages 30–60 days ahead of market. Suggested alternates ranked by fit + availability.
Simulates production plans against BOM state — flags parts likely to hold up the line.
Recommends when to pre-buy, dual-source or redesign around a risky part — with cost impact modelling.
Maps risk through your sub-tiers, not just direct suppliers. Discovers where two of your suppliers depend on one fab.
When a component is EOL-flagged, BOMB proposes swap candidates and forecasts qualification effort.
Native connectors to Arena, Windchill, Vault, Aras, Odoo, SAP, Oracle EBS — plus a raw CSV/API loader.
Enriched with lifecycle status, Rev-B/C notices, RoHS, REACH, conflict-minerals and datasheet metadata.
SOC 2-ready · on-prem option · role-based access · audit-grade change logs.
Connect your PLM/ERP or upload a BOM. BOMB normalises MPNs, deduplicates, resolves alternates.
Each line is scored on lead-time, single-source, obsolescence, geo and price-volatility risk.
Overlay your production plan. BOMB simulates which parts will bottleneck the line and when.
Approve pre-buys, dual-source alternates, or design swaps — pushed back to your PLM/ERP.
Octagon's engineering team reviewed BOMs manually in Excel. When a critical driver IC went on 26-week lead-time, they discovered it 3 days before board launch — after committing to a $2.4M automotive order.
Deployed BOMB across all active NPI programs. Every BOM revision is now scored in minutes; a live dashboard surfaces at-risk parts and pre-approved swap candidates.
“BOMB paid for itself in the first month. It caught a shortage six weeks before our supplier called it. That call would have cost us a $2.4M program and a customer.”
Parametric qualifies every BOM change through a regulated ECN process averaging 14 weeks. Component EOLs and revision changes were a constant fire drill; engineers spent 30% of their time on component research.
BOMB now pre-qualifies swap candidates against form-fit-function rules, RoHS and REACH constraints — surfacing a shortlist that engineers approve rather than research.
“BOMB doesn't replace our engineers — it removes the busywork. Our team went from digging through Digi-Key to actually designing again.”
