BOM Management
Centralized BOM management with up-to-date component data.
Detect and resolve issues, consolidate across projects, and streamline ordering.
Complete BOMs Faster with Enriched Parts Data
Up-to-date part data accelerates product design. Altium provides engineers and
procurement with current specifications, compliance details, lifecycle status, availability, and pricing—enabling fast, confident decisions and structured collaboration to complete BOMs efficiently.
Proactively Mitigate Supply Chain Risk
Altium enables structured risk management across your team. Real-time analysis delivers early warnings on shortages, price changes, and end-of-life issues—giving everyone the visibility to adapt quickly and prevent costly delays.
Control BOMs with Structure and Simplicity
Combine spreadsheet simplicity with structured version control. Securely share BOMs with stakeholders, track releases across revisions, and apply customizable lifecycle states—maintaining flexibility without sacrificing control.
Centralize Parts for Reuse and Traceability
Centralize your part management in a structured library that drives reusability and full traceability. Create and edit parts from BOMs, adapt component choices on the fly, and track usage across all designs—giving teams complete visibility into part decisions.
Key Capabilities
Consolidate BOMs to Reduce Costs and Streamline Orders
Consolidate similar parts to save money through improved logistics and bulk ordering. Quickly place part orders via Octocart. This feature encourages the team to find supply chain synergy across projects.
Gain Part Visibility Across All BOMs and Projects
Track part lifecycle statuses to ensure availability and compliance. Consolidate similar parts, reducing BOM complexity, costs, and design variability. Visibility helps project collaborators work as one.
Improve Your Supply Chain with 3rd-party Data Sources
Altium integrates with Octopart, IHS Markit, SiliconExpert, and Z2Data to show availability, lifecycle status, and compliance info. which helps see disruptions coming. Current, accurate component data helps the team foresee disruptions.
Electrical Engineer & Procurement Collaboration
Keep managed BOMs up to date as designs change. In-context comments, notifications, 'what-if' analysis, BOM assessments and change orders maintain seamless collaboration between designers and procurement teams.
Centralize All Part Data & Vendors in One Part Library
The whole team can track BOM revisions, part risks and lifecycles. Collaborators work with the design team to create new libraries from existing BOM items. In-browser part editing and “where-used” tracking help you manage obsolescence together.

“Usually, the first prototypes I do need to happen quickly. So we have 48h for boards, during which time I order components. Here is so much thanks to the ActiveBOM and the handling there, it simplifies the work immensely. Then I take these boards and send them to a local lab. They can hand/semi-automatically mount almost anything in 4-8 hours. ‘Yesterday’ this was done using paper and Excel. ‘Today’ we moved to Altium 365 with ActiveBOM. ‘Tomorrow’ I hope we could use the Assembly App where they can tick off anything they have mounted. It is just fabulous.”

“We now have the feature to check which component is in which product, and we can even see with ActiveBOM which components are end-of-life or obsolete. This is a great tool and gives a big, big benefit and also, it's possible for the purchasers that they check now inside Altium 365 which components are used where. And they can even check the availability and end-of-life information.”
