Optymo allows the users to import their BOMs in a click of a mouse. Whether the BOM comes from a PCB design tool or from a spreadsheet file, the copy and paste feature is available. As for exporting data, INLYNK has developed an export module that allows every user to access all data contained in the database.
The multi-level database structure provides for easy BOMs management. With support for revision for product evolution and configurations for variations, Optymo provides the most sophisticated solution for electronic design companies. Optymo includes production references and manufacturing steps to link with production, whether internal or through sub contractors.
Optymo manages parts with specific constraints of the electronic industry. It handles single database item with several manufacturers, suppliers, customers references, avoiding duplicates and overstock. Optymo differentiates substitute and equivalence. Amongst other specifics, Optymo can manage several revisions of same part as well as obsolete parts. For simpler management, Optymo provides a unique multi-level hierarchical organization.
Through unique EDI feature, Optymo allows designers to quickly check parts costs and availability, validating budget expectations for new projects. This allows also documenting accurately BOMs, transferring operations the exact references, the potential suppliers and the authorized substitutes, avoiding further errors or waste of time.
Through lots, serial numbers and revisions management, Optymo ensures full parts traceability. Whether you want to find out what part goes in a product or a sub-element, or you want to track a part on its version, Optymo provides you the information with a click of a mouse. Often needed to comply to certain customers requests or certain compliance, traceability is at the heart of Optymo and ease the definition of industrial processes to reach a certain conformity.

Optymo improves the process of design and prototyping by providing in real time some accurate parts information.
Engineers can select the components they need through an integrated web browser and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) functions. By simply clicking on an icon, the component is either updated or created in the database.
Optymo collects pricing, lead times and information packaging from multiple vendors, as well as the latest technical data.
For each component, Optymo can store the technical data, history and experience about a component so the designers can choose the best part for his project.
Optymo supports the specifics of the electronic industry, including the multiple references (internal, supplier, manufacturer, customers …) that can be associated with each component, facilitating optimal inventory management and parts use. This saves time by eliminating the duplication of work between design and procurement while avoiding communication errors.
