What Aligni PLM is
Aligni PLM is cloud software for collaborative product development, focused on bills of materials, revisions, releases, specifications, and engineering changes. Its centralized item master stores product, material, cost, supplier, and specification details. Teams can create multi-level BOMs, review revision history, compare BOMs, and control changes. Vendor Portal and Vault tools support sharing product, part, and order information with outside organizations. Vaults add access controls, MD5 checksums, access logs, and notifications; they are beta features on PLM Pro and MRP Pro. The GraphQL API reads and updates Aligni data, while webhooks notify connected systems about events. Customers have connected QuickBooks, Xero, Shopify, UltraCart, Altium Designer, and Octopart through that API. Two-factor authentication, role-based permissions, and account-access management are included. Aligni offers web and API access, workflow automation, and cloud deployment. It targets small and mid-sized electronics manufacturers. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
