What IndaBOM is
IndaBOM is a bill of materials management and sourcing tool for tracking parts, assemblies, and revisions. It is free and open source, built with Django and Python, and offered as a web product or for self-hosting. Users can upload parts and assemblies in batches from CSV or Excel lists, then manage revisions from development through production across electrical, mechanical, and hardware products. Indented BOM views arrange subassemblies and components in a tree. Sourcing connects with Mouser for pricing and datasheets and supports live sourcing through Octopart or Mouser. A Google Drive integration creates a folder for each part to hold files. Organizations can choose semi-intelligent CLASS-ITEM-VARIATION numbering or free-form intelligent part numbers, and set Viewer, Editor, and Admin roles. Editing is restricted to Draft revisions, and only parts already in the database can be added as subparts. The free managed plan is for one user, while the free self-hosted plan supports multi-user organizations. Managed Professional costs $35 a month per user.
