BOM Software

No more scattered spreadsheets or manual recipes. Plan and cost your production with structured BOMs

  • Create multi‑level bills of materials for complex assemblies
  • Define production steps, labour, and processing costs
  • Estimate unit costs before starting production & compare plan vs fact
  • Launch production orders with one click from a BOM
  • Track material usage across BOMs, subassemblies, and components
  • Use separate BoMs to manage the production of individual components
Bill of materials software to manage production steps, cost estimation, and multi-level assemblies

What BOM Software
Helps You Solve

📄 Manual Errors in Product Structure

Spreadsheets are hard to maintain and easy to misread — leading to wrong builds and wasted materials

🔁 No Standardized Production Process

Without structured BOMs, every production run starts from scratch. There’s no consistency or repeatability

📉 No Way to Estimate Unit Cost in Advance

You don’t know the real cost of a batch until it’s produced — especially when materials or labour prices change

🔗 Disconnected Inventory and Purchasing

You can’t tell what components you need or already have in stock when launching production

🧩 Complex Assemblies Are Hard to Manage

Subassemblies, WIP, and nested materials are difficult to track without a multi‑level BOM

What Type of Bill of Materials Program Kladana Offers

Kladana offers structured, production-ready BOMs — ideal for small and medium manufacturers. Each BOM in Kladana includes:

  • The finished product and its required quantities
  • A list of components with quantities and units
  • sequence of operations required to assemble the product
  • Estimated production time to complete the order
  • Estimated total cost based on material and labour inputs
  • Labour or service costs per step
  • Optional notes or instructions for operators
Structured multi-level BOMs for a dress, with separate production workflows for bodice, collar, sleeve, including quantities, operations, and labour costs

Key Features of Bill of Materials Software

  • Create BOMs with multiple levels and subassemblies
  • View cost estimates before production starts — including nested BOM costs
  • Add operations with duration, cost, and responsible teams
  • Launch production orders directly from a BOM in one click
  • Link BOMs to inventory, purchasing, and material planning
  • Customize for different versions or batch sizes as needed
Printable BOM form showing raw materials, quantities, costs, and standard hours for quality checks and documentation

Why BOM Software Matters for Small Manufacturers

Without BOMs, production orders are manual and inconsistent. With BOMs, you get:

  • Faster, standardized production launches
  • Cost visibility before you commit to a batch
  • Clear instructions for operators and workers
  • Smarter inventory and purchasing coordination
  • Scalable production processes across products and teams

Bill of Materials Software Success Stories

FAQ about Bill of Materials
(BOM) Software

Bill of Materials (BOM) software helps manufacturers create structured “recipes” for assembling products. It defines what components and operations are required, in what quantities, and how much they will cost — all before production begins.

Kladana offers production-ready BOM tools designed for small manufacturers who need to manage components, steps, and costs in a clear and repeatable way.

Yes. You can create multi‑level bills of materials with subassemblies and nested components. Kladana also calculates the total estimated cost, including costs from embedded BOMs.

Yes. You can generate production orders directly from a saved BOM — with all components, steps, and costs pulled in automatically.

Absolutely. Kladana calculates pre‑production cost estimates based on:

  • Current purchase prices of components
  • Labour or processing costs per operation
  • Cost of any semi‑finished goods used in subassemblies

Yes. Each BOM can include:

  • A list of operations
  • The sequence and duration
  • Labour costs or service costs
  • Responsible team or workstation
  • Instructions for the operator

Yes. BOMs are connected to:

  • Inventory — to check availability and reserve stock
  • Purchasing — to trigger material orders if components are missing
  • MRP and production — to ensure smooth coordination across teams

It’s ideal for:

  • Small and medium manufacturers
  • Makers of kits, bundles, or multi‑part products
  • Businesses producing repeated items with predictable structures
  • Teams ready to move from spreadsheets to structured production planning

Yes. You can build a BOM for a complete product or for individual components. You can also import existing BOMs from Excel directly into Kladana.

Sure! Here’s an example for producing a wooden coffee table using Kladana’s BoM software:
Product: Coffee Table Model CT‑01 Components:

  • 1 × Tabletop (wood panel)
  • 4 × Wooden legs
  • 8 × Screws
  • 1 × Wood finish (0.3 L)

Operations

  1. Assembly — Attach legs to tabletop (15 min)
  2. Finishing — Apply wood finish (10 min + 2h drying)
  3. Inspection & Packaging

Estimated Cost:

  • Materials: ₹1,650
  • Labour: ₹400
  • Total Estimated Cost: ₹2,050 per unit

Yes. You can test Kladana’s BOM software with a 14‑day free trial — no credit card required.
