How It Works

From BOM to better decisions in 5 steps

No rip-and-replace. No complex implementation. Start small, prove value, then scale. Clear ROI before commitment.

1

Upload BOM

Connect your ERP or simply upload your Bill of Materials. Our platform ingests and normalizes your component data instantly.

What happens:

  • Upload your Bill of Materials in any standard format (Excel, CSV)
  • Or connect directly to your ERP via API integration
  • Platform automatically normalizes and validates component data
  • No IT overhead — start analyzing within minutes
Outcome: Your BOM data is normalized and ready for analysis
2

Identify

AI analyzes pricing gaps and risks across your entire BOM. Savings opportunities are highlighted automatically.

What happens:

  • AI analyzes each line item against global pricing data
  • Automatically identifies pricing gaps vs market benchmarks
  • Discovers qualified alternates (form/fit/function)
  • Flags lifecycle, EOL, and supplier risks
Outcome: Clear visibility into savings opportunities and risks
3

Decide

Armed with decision-grade intelligence, choose to renegotiate with current suppliers, re-source, or hold positions.

What happens:

  • Review prioritized recommendations based on impact
  • Run what-if scenarios and simulations
  • Choose to renegotiate with current suppliers
  • Or decide to re-source or hold positions
Outcome: Defensible, data-backed procurement decisions
4

Execute

For high-impact components, execute sourcing through 1Source with vetted global suppliers and transparent pricing.

What happens:

  • Execute sourcing through vetted global suppliers
  • Compare landed costs across regions
  • Streamlined RFQ workflows for faster cycles
  • You stay in control — we execute where it matters
Outcome: Optimized sourcing at competitive prices
5

Liquidate

Turn excess and EOL inventory into cash through 1Xcess with approved buyers and competitive bidding.

What happens:

  • List excess and EOL inventory on 1Xcess
  • Access approved buyers with global reach
  • Competitive bidding ensures best prices
  • Escrow + QA for secure, trusted transactions
Outcome: Dead stock converted to working capital
