# See Parter in action

**Thirty minutes. Your BOM, not a demo dataset.**

Bring a real bill of materials in whatever format it lives in today. Excel, CSV, PDF, or an export from an ERP or PLM. Parter reads it as-is, with no template and no cleanup, and shows you what is actually sitting in it: the single-source parts, the lines heading to end-of-life, the shortages forming, the tariff exposure, and a ranked set of alternatives for each one.

You leave with your real risks, not a slideshow.

## What you are actually evaluating

Continuous BOM optimization, a new category of hardware software and the category Parter created.

Component databases and parts search tools answer one question about one part, when you go and ask. Continuous BOM optimization works the whole BOM on its own, and answers the question you did not know to ask yet, on the day it becomes true. The demo is the fastest way to see that difference on parts you already care about.

## Book a demo if

- A part on a live BOM just went end-of-life and someone is cross-referencing datasheets by hand
- You quote customer BOMs and RFQ cycles are measured in weeks instead of hours
- A design is heading into production and nobody has checked it for obsolescence, compliance, or tariff risk
- You are carrying single-source parts and cannot say how many
- Your team runs quarterly BOM reviews and still gets surprised in between
- You want alternatives that are actually buyable, screened against live stock, lifecycle, and compliance, not a list of similar part numbers

If any of these describe the situation, this is the right next step.

## What you will see

- **Your BOM worked line by line.** Every part, not the one you asked about.
- **Risk you did not know about yet.** Single-source, end-of-life, NRND, shortage, PCN, compliance, tariff. Each flag arrives with the affected lines and a recommended move.
- **Alternatives you can act on.** Matched on datasheet specs, then screened against real availability and compliance.
- **The RFQ side, if you quote.** One RFQ out to several suppliers, quotes back structured and directly comparable, landing on the BOM without anyone retyping a line.

## Who Parter is for

Parter is bought and used across the whole hardware team, not by one function. Two kinds of company use it: hardware companies, OEMs, and ODMs who design and source products, and EMS providers and contract manufacturers who quote and build them. Both sides work from the same live BOM.

### Hardware companies, OEMs, and ODMs

| Function | Who uses it | Who owns the decision |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Design and R&D | PCB design engineers, electrical engineers, hardware engineers | Engineering managers, directors of engineering, VP Engineering, CTOs |
| NPI and component engineering | NPI engineers, component engineers, obsolescence program managers | NPI managers, program managers |
| Sourcing and procurement | Buyers, purchasing managers, sourcing managers, commodity managers, strategic sourcing leads | Procurement directors, VP Procurement, Chief Procurement Officers |
| Supply chain and operations | Supply chain managers, supply chain analysts, materials managers, planners | VP Supply Chain, VP Operations, COOs |

### EMS providers and contract manufacturers

| Function | Who uses it | Who owns the decision |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Quoting and estimating | Quoting managers, estimators, cost engineers | Whoever owns quoting |
| Sourcing and purchasing | Buyers, purchasing managers, sourcing managers | Procurement leads |
| Supply chain and operations | Supply chain managers | VP Operations, GMs, owners |
| Growth | Business development and sales leaders | Commercial leadership |

For EMS providers, quoting speed is a growth question as much as an operations one. Faster, more accurate quotes win more clients.

## Who to bring to the demo

Bring both: the people who will use Parter day to day, and the person who owns the tooling and the budget.

Parter puts engineering, sourcing, and supply chain on one live BOM, so a demo with only one of them in the room shows a quarter of the picture. Thirty minutes with two or three of them shows how the handoffs disappear.
