Why BOM Connector?

Streamlines the quoting process by efficiently mapping customer bill of materials (BOMs) to available parts or material suppliers. It integrates with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to extract key data, enabling faster, more accurate quotations and cost calculations, reducing manual effort and improving overall efficiency.

Key features of BOM Connector

Reduce quoting time and increase accuracy: Reduce the time needed to create accurate quotations that include accurate material costs. Valor BOM Connector provides the capability to read customer BOMs and map them to parts that are either available in the warehouse or need to be sourced from material suppliers.

Use ERP customer data to create timely quotes: Easily extract key BOM data, such as customer part number, description, component counts and approved vendor list (AVL). Once extracted, run power searches to connect the customer's part number with the internal part number, with missing connections quickly addressed using automated online searches. The result is a "golden BOM" that can be uploaded back to the ERP.

Calculate BOM costs in seconds: Staying connected to ERP information allows Valor BOM Connector to provide accurate sourcing and pricing for each specific BOM.
