We do not hand you thousands of sellers to sort through. We make the procurement decisions and own the outcome.
AI does the first pass; a professional sourcing team quotes and delivers the whole BOM. You deal with a team, not a search box.
No blanket "all genuine" promise. Every quoted line carries a source tier and its traceability evidence.
Payment, inspection, export, logistics, arrival — delivery is done when your line starts.
| Source tier | Meaning | What you see on the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Authorized | Direct from the manufacturer or an authorized distributor | Channel name · manufacturer lot |
| Fully Traceable | Complete chain-of-custody documents from manufacturer to us | Custody chain · document IDs |
| Verified Independent | Independent stock verified against our inspection standard | Inspection report · DC · photos |
| Excess Inventory | Surplus from end users / factories, strong price advantage | Source type · storage conditions |
| Testing Required | Insufficient evidence; delivered only after third-party testing | Test items · lab · cost |
| Several brokers yourself | Components marketplace | 1BOM managed fulfillment | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RFQ effort | Dozens of RFQs per BOM, collected line by line | Search, compare and order line by line | Upload once, one consolidated quote |
| Contracts & payment | Many entities, contracts and payments | Many sellers, many orders | One entity, one PO, one party to pay |
| Source & authenticity | Verbal "genuine", sort it out later | Seller-declared, platform not liable | Five source tiers + inspection evidence package |
| Shortages & alternates | Another round of calls | Out of stock is out of stock | Manual sourcing + alternates in the quote |
| Kitting & scheduling | Piecemeal arrivals, line waits | Scattered deliveries, you assemble | Kitted, released to your build schedule |
| When things go wrong | Everyone points elsewhere | Customer service ticket | One team owns the outcome |
10M+ part database, auto-costing and part cleaning, alternates suggested in every quote; 29,000+ BOMs processed.
Manufacturer · authorized · verified independent, 14+ channels compared live; global sourcing for scarce, long-lead and EOL parts, strongest in analog and power.
Lot / date code / photo records, kitted and released to your line, an evidence file per order.
From one kit to an annual supply plan; delivery certainty, not scale, is how we keep customers.
No. 1BOM is the BOM procurement service provider for end customers: every part is delivered to an end-customer line and never resold. To our customers, we are their procurement department.
Yes — that is exactly where companies without a procurement team struggle most. We are accountable for the whole BOM, not paid per line.
We don't make a blanket promise. Every line carries one of five source tiers with evidence; incoming inspection with photo records; lines with insufficient evidence are marked "Testing Required" and delivered only after third-party testing.
Auto-costing and risk flags minutes after upload; the consolidated quote follows buyer review — typically within 24 hours for standard BOMs, longer where scarce parts need sourcing.
Yes. Open a platform account; your team runs costing, comparison, MRP and inspection records, and delegates shortages to us when needed.
