Tailored Pricing for Smarter Design Decisions

Strong supplier relationships are key to long-term business growth. This month, we focused on enabling deeper relationships with our customers and suppliers with Altium 365*. Now, you can easily configure and view Custom Parts Provider Pricing for any BOM to scale your business and supplier relationships. 

Real-Time Price Insights for Accurate Costing: View custom prices and special discounts from your suppliers directly in BOM Portal. With Custom Prices Support, you see real, discounted prices instead of generic ones during BOM and part selection, enabling more accurate part decision-making.

Consolidate Part Usage to Unlock Price Breaks: You can manage and collaborate on BOMs across projects to consolidate part usage to common preferred parts for bulk purchasing. No more switching between platforms and BOMs to view real prices, simplifying the design process and procurement.

How to Use It

1. Set Up Supplier Accounts: Configure supplier accounts in Altium 365's Altium Part Provider page, using your username and password for authentication.
2. Custom Pricing Integration: Once set up, custom pricing info from suppliers like Samtec, TTI, and Future Electronics appears alongside general pricing across all relevant Altium 365 features.
3. Visible to All: While setup requires admin access, the feature and its benefits are visible to all users on the platform.
