BOM health
Improve component cost competitiveness, sourcing flexibility, and supply resilience.
DSX
Product Sourcing & NPI
Make smarter component and sourcing decisions earlier in the product lifecycle.
Bring together component cost validation, BOM analysis, alternatives, and predictive supply risk intelligence to help product sourcing, NPI, and engineering teams optimize component selection, reduce costs, mitigate risks, and improve sourcing readiness before designs are locked.
A Technically Viable BOM Isn't Necessarily a Healthy BOM
A BOM can meet every technical requirement and still carry hidden costs, supply risks, and limited sourcing options. Without early visibility into pricing, availability, lifecycle, and alternatives, teams may lock in component decisions that create unnecessary costs, delays, and vulnerabilities later in the product lifecycle.
Design for Cost and Risk Before the BOM Is Locked
Lytica brings independent market intelligence into product sourcing and design, helping teams validate component costs, assess supply risks, and explore alternatives before designs are finalized. With earlier visibility into pricing, availability, lifecycle, and sourcing options, teams can make smarter component decisions and build more cost-effective, resilient products.
Risk Intelligence: Rik AI
Anticipate emerging supply risks with predictive market signals and supporting evidence. Rik AI helps teams understand what has changed across their AVL this week or month, why risks are emerging, and where to focus mitigation efforts — enabling more resilient component and sourcing decisions.
How Product Sourcing & NPI works
Assess BOM health
Evaluate component costs, availability, lifecycle, and supply risk to uncover vulnerabilities and sourcing opportunities.
Validate component costs
Compare component and supplier pricing against independent market intelligence to identify cost optimization opportunities.
pricing against independent
market intelligence to identify cost
optimization opportunities.
Evaluate component alternatives
Explore form-fit-function and functional alternatives to improve cost competitiveness, sourcing flexibility, and supply resilience.
Improve Sourcing readiness
Bring cost, risk, and alternatives intelligence together to make informed component decisions before design and sourcing commitments.
Proven Impact
Earlier risk visibility
Anticipate emerging supply risks with evidence-backed intelligence before they impact product development.
Greater Sourcing flexibility
Explore component alternatives to improve costs, reduce dependency, and strengthen supply resilience.
Faster Sourcing decisions
Identify cost and supply issues earlier to make informed component decisions and improve sourcing readiness.
“Having all this information on our hands, it became a much more professional discussion with our EMS.”
Peter McDowall, VP of Strategic Procurement, NEOTech
