Aligni makes it easy to drill down into what materials are used, who supplies them, what’s on-hand, and the costs associated with each. Aligni tracks changes to a product’s BOM and makes it easy to choose approved, alternate parts and vendors when necessary.  The system is also built to share this information across the organization – including with external groups.

No more relying on email and documents spread across the company. Aligni’s built-in Engineering Change Management (ECM) functionality streamlines updates and revisions to parts, products, and specifications, whether in development or already in production.

Organize and manage your product and component data using Aligni’s purpose-built item master database. Establish an efficient and integrated single source of truth across design and production. Build a strong, sustainable foundation for long-term, efficient operations.

A fully-integrated quoting system is connected to your BOMs and part database so you can easily manage thousands of quotes without juggling piles of email. As you grow, Aligni’s ActiveQuote enables you to navigate increasingly complex supplier relationships without breaking a sweat. Then use these quotes to perform accurate real-time BOM cost analysis including multiple vendors, quantity price breaks, and excess inventory.

Manage customer and channel sales forecasts directly in Aligni for better component demand visibility. Aligni automatically uses your BOMs and sales forecasts to compute component and manufacturer demand estimates. Share demand estimates with suppliers to negotiate pricing, smooth inventory levels, and develop strong, reliable relationships.

Aligni’s purchasing tools provide the ability to send RFQs and purchase orders (POs). It also tracks and stores vendor responses, as well as connecting parts in use and alternates to preferred vendors. That makes it easy to not only see the status of current orders but utilize previous purchasing data to gain insights on pricing, availability, and vendor performance.
