How BOM Intelligence Cuts Manual Matching by 98%
Catch engineering errors before they reach the shop floor, and turn BOMs buried in drawings into one validated, procurement-ready list.
Engineering teams building boiler, chiller, and cooler systems worked from BOMs scattered across drawings and ERP records, matching part codes by hand even when naming did not agree between the two. ConforgeLabs built BOM Intelligence to extract, consolidate, and validate those BOMs automatically, catching errors before they reached the shop floor and turning each drawing into one procurement-ready list.
Manual BOM Matching Couldn't Keep Pace with the Shop Floor
BOMs for boiler, chiller, and cooler builds lived across drawings and ERP records, and matching part codes between the two meant manual, line by line cross-checking. Naming conventions did not always agree between systems, drawings and ERP records described the same part differently, which made consolidation slow and dependent on whoever happened to be doing the matching that day. A single drawing's BOM could take around 20 minutes to match by hand, work that had to happen before procurement or the shop floor could move forward, and any error that slipped through carried into both.
“Naming never matched cleanly between drawings and the ERP, so every BOM meant manual cross-checking, line by line, before we could even think about procurement.”
