01 / IMPORT
Start with the BOM you already have
Upload a CSV rather than re-entering every component. The importer recognises common reference, quantity, MPN and related columns, then lets you review the mapping before anything is saved.
BOM sourcing workspace
Turn a parts list into a sourcing plan.
Upload a CSV bill of materials, identify the important columns automatically, check real distributor offers and reduce the number of supplier baskets needed to build it.
Less tab-hopping. Fewer distributor baskets. A clearer route from BOM to buy.

Why engineers should care
A BOM is easy to export. Sourcing it is where the work starts.
Real projects quickly turn into a procurement problem: hundreds of lines, inconsistent CSV columns, stock spread across distributors and apparently cheap parts that become expensive once the order is fragmented. The BOM Tool keeps that work in one engineering-focused workspace.
02 / SOURCE
Check the market line by line
Distributor lookups run through The Component Club backend. ACL part numbers are recognised automatically and expanded across their verified manufacturer MPNs, so equivalent sourcing options can be compared without exposing third-party credentials in the browser.
03 / OPTIMISE
Reduce unnecessary supplier spread
The optimiser compares available offers across the BOM and looks for a small practical distributor set, while still showing line allocation, coverage, estimated cost and parts that could not be fulfilled.
04 / SAVE
Keep BOM work attached to your account
Imported BOMs are private to the signed-in member account, can be edited later, and retain the sourcing work needed to revisit a design without starting the process again.
How it works
From CSV to distributor plan in four stages.
The tool is designed around normal engineering BOMs, not a special proprietary format. Current imports support up to 500 component rows per BOM.
Upload the CSV
Choose the exported bill of materials from your CAD, ERP or spreadsheet workflow.
Confirm the columns
Review the automatically detected fields and correct the mapping where your headings are unusual.
Run sourcing
Look up ordinary MPNs directly and expand ACL numbers across their verified equivalents before collecting distributor availability and pricing.
Optimise the order
Compare the recommended distributor set, coverage, line allocation and unfulfilled parts before purchasing.
Built for real lists
The useful answer is not “who sells this part?” It is “how should I source this build?”
Searching for one MPN is simple. A production BOM may contain dozens or hundreds of independent sourcing decisions. The BOM Tool treats those lines as one problem so the result can account for distributor coverage across the whole design.
