(Configit: Copenhagen, Denmark) -- Configit, a global leader in configuration life cycle management (CLM), announced that its Configit Ace offering can now leverage product models more effectively during the design of configurable bills of materials (cBOMs) and support quotation processes more efficiently.

The continuous demand for more customizable and personalized products requires more configurable product designs. However, designing and working with cBOMs, otherwise known as 150% BOMs or Super BOMs, can be challenging. Generating a valid BOM for a configurable product can be time-consuming and can require a great deal of manual effort. Existing solutions for automatically generating or exploding a cBOM are often slow. Ideally, the cBOM and product model should be developed at the same time. But so far, there has been no way to leverage product models in the cBOM design process.

To address these challenges, the Configit Ace BOM Solve API helps manufacturers rapidly generate a BOM for a configurable product by leveraging product models. This will enable engineers and product modelers to collaborate and develop the cBOM and product model at the same time.
