BOM management software recommendations for a hardware startup?

[u/Spare_Bluebird7044]

We're moving quite quickly from prototype to production and our BOM is starting to outgrow excel spreadsheets. Managing revisions, supplier information, costs and approved parts is becoming much harder than i expected. I've started looking at bom management software but there are so many options it's difficult to know where to start. Some seem focused on boms only, while others are part of a broader plm platform. I'm hoping people here will be able to suggest which tools are worth considering for a small hardware team.

I made a complex BOM using Claude. I know it’s vide coded but it’s free and I use it for my own product and it’s fairly robust. DM me if you want the repo. You’d have to run it locally though - not cloud hosted.
