Ciiva Bill of Materials

Ciiva Bill of Materials is a web-based tool for engineers who select electronic components and manage the bills of materials for their products. It keeps every BOM in one central database and links it to a searchable parts catalogue.

What Ciiva Bill of Materials does

• Component search: look up electronic parts and their datasheets.
• Lifecycle checks: see where a part stands in its life, and find alternatives and second sources if it is becoming obsolete.
• Stock and cost comparison: compare availability and current and historical pricing across suppliers.
• Collaborative BOM control: manage bills of materials throughout the product lifecycle in a single shared database.
• Excess stock and ordering: buy and sell surplus inventory and order directly from suppliers, according to earlier TrustList material drawn from the vendor.

Customers and markets

Its audience is design engineers who want to avoid redesigning a board because a chosen part has been discontinued. The product is positioned as a replacement for spreadsheet-based BOMs.
