Hello from Hybrique. We have developed a new plugin for KiCad that will let you know the best available manufacturers and suppliers for all parts of your design files. This plugin is very easy to use, where you just need to register yourself and create BOMs from your designs .
Our plugin supports:
Create BOM from your design files
Get best suppliers and manufacturers for the parts in your design; along with price
Moreover for your assistance ,we also provide alternative manufacturers and suppliers; you may re-order them as per your need.
BOM Version management; maintain different versions of the BOM
Apply filters to refine your search criteria
You may download our plugin from https://www.hybrique.com/product. The steps to install and use our plugin are also described in the above webpage.
The best part is its completely FREE. We would suggest you to use and let us know if you like it. For any queries or feedback, feel free to comment below or contact us at MOD EDIT: Use Private Messaging. Email removed to protect original poster, not to censor.
We do encourage vendor participation but having a brand new account suddenly pop up to ālikeā the post? A tad suspicious but no smoking gun.
It would be helpful here to clarify āyou know the best available manufacturers and suppliersā. What is your algorithm and what is the pool of manufactures and suppliers are you drawing from? Short of that information the plugin is worthless to most here.
We are a new startup company based in Singapore, aiming to make BOM creation simpler and faster. We have recently launched our software and would like KiCad users to try it out and give their valuable feedback.
Our software can read a drawing and recommend suppliers and manufacturers for each part/component present in the drawing. It is connected with multiple suppliers with API connections. So we have a large pool of suppliers from whom we get real-time price and stock information.
The best available supplier and manufacturer selection depend on the userās preference. A user can sort suppliers based on best price, stock availability, and other things. We provide top 3 suppliers for each part based on price, MOQ(minimum order quantity), and stock availability. Users can also export the final BOM to an Excel sheet.
A detailed video explaining all the features of our application and how to use them can be found below.
What is your monetization goal? Premium accounts for large number of parts or BOM line items? Sponsored suppliers? What is going to be done with account information - will it be used for marketing?
Hi Dmitri, our marketing model is a premium account for a large number of parts, an increased number of versions that can be created and supplierās onboarding charge. We are not going to use user information for any kind of marketing. All user information is encrypted and stored securely. We are not going to share user information with any suppliers.
To know more, please check our Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy
For a limited time, all premium features are free of cost. Kindly use our plugin and let us know your feedback. We would be happy to customize as per user feedback.
