QUOTING WORKFLOW

Search Quotes by Customer Name

The quote list search bar now matches against the customer name in addition to quote number, part numbers, descriptions, and SKUs. For organization accounts the company name is searched, and for individual accounts the email address is searched — matching what each column already displays. Existing quotes have been backfilled so customer-name search works immediately across all historical data. Small change, frequent win for anyone triaging a long quote list.

Retain Sorting and Search on BOM Tables

Manufacturers working through a sorted or filtered BOM can now drill into a part's detail page and return to the overview without losing their place. The sort column, sort direction, and search query are all retained when the Back button is used, and they cleanly reset when a user genuinely moves on to a different quote. This removes a small but chronic source of friction for anyone working through a long BOM a row at a time.

Open

List Clean-Up and Table Detail Refinements

The quotes module has been tightened up based on direct customer feedback. Redundant row-level actions have been removed from the Quotes Overview table, the Line Items table, the Notes and Terms table, the Internal Files table, and the PCB Sourcing table on the Line Item Detail page — every action those rows used to offer is already accessible elsewhere in the UI, and removing the duplicates leaves a cleaner, more predictable interface. Supporting UX standardization across box components continues in parallel, with consistent placement of add controls, consistent single-click row interactions, and section dropdowns for multi-section boxes.

Open

PCB SPECIFICATIONS

PCB Fabrication Panel Configuration

PCB fabricators can now configure the working panel sizes their equipment actually supports — multiple panels per fabricator, each with its own width, height, frame border widths for tooling holes and fiducials, and an active/inactive flag. When the platform nests assembly panels for a job, it evaluates every active panel a fabricator has configured and chooses the one that maximizes material utilization. Fabricators get more accurate pricing that reflects their real capabilities, and customers get better utilization without any extra work.

UL Marking as a Board Option

Designers can now specify that their PCB requires UL marking, following the same pattern as IPC Class III. Manufacturers declare UL capability in their capabilities configuration. UL markings default to free (most fabs include them at no charge), but manufacturers can configure custom pricing if they prefer.

Custom Copper Thickness

Board Options now supports custom copper thickness for designs that require non-standard copper weights — high-current, RF, and specialized thermal management applications. The Copper Thickness dropdown gains an "Other" option that reveals an input field for entering thickness in microns (with one decimal place of precision). Standard dropdown options (0.5 oz, 1, 2, 3, and 4 oz) and their micron equivalents are shown inline via a tooltip so designers can sanity-check their entry. Custom values flow through to pricing configuration, the formula engine, order output, and the full per-layer copper thickness string sent to the ERP.

X-Out Tolerance

Designers can now specify their tolerance for non-functional boards on a panel through the existing Quote and Order modals. Two values are captured: X-Out per Panel (an integer, defaulting to 2 — the maximum number of non-functional boards accepted per panel) and X-Out per Order (a percentage, defaulting to 5% — the maximum share of non-functional boards across the whole order). Zero values mean no X-Outs accepted. Both values flow through to the pricing configuration as a pricing option and are exposed to the formula engine, letting manufacturers offer lower pricing when designers accept some defect tolerance rather than requiring fully perfect panels.

Open

Target Product Industry

Projects now include a required Industry Sector field in the Project Info component, covering Automotive, Automotive Safety, Aerospace, Aviation, Defense, Medical, Industrial, Consumer Electronics, Information Technology, White Goods, Other, and Unknown (the default). The selected industry is visible to manufacturers and vendors so they understand the compliance standards, quality expectations, and handling procedures that apply to the project, and it is available as a variable in the formula engine for pricing rules that depend on industry context.

BOM & SOURCING

Suggested Alternatives in the Part Editor

The editor's part modal now surfaces suggested alternative parts from Nexar alongside the existing "did you mean" list. Up to five suggested parts appear in a familiar card layout with the part number and manufacturer clearly displayed, giving designers a fast path to a suitable replacement when the original part needs to change. When a suggested part is selected it is immediately added to the approved part numbers list for that component, with instant UI feedback and graceful handling of duplicates. Finding and approving an alternative now takes seconds.

BOM Part Details Page Enhancements

The BOM Part Details page now gives manufacturer users the full picture they need to make sourcing decisions without leaving the page. Per-item part handling fees are visible in the table — correctly reflecting each item's packaging type (cut tape, tube, bulk, reel) and the supplier's configured rates — so the true landed cost of each line is obvious at a glance. Manufacturer selection is now available per row, letting users pick or override the OEM for any component through the existing custom-sourcing override system, with pricing recalculating to match the selection and a clear "Requested MFR Mismatch" indicator when the priced manufacturer differs from the selection. And inline error and warning badges now appear directly on each row for unable-to-source, lifecycle, large purchase quantity, customer-supplied, unknown mount type, and manufacturer mismatch conditions — with distinct styling for errors versus warnings and a hover reveal for the specific message text. The existing BOM Issues summary tool continues to work and filter the table by issue type.

Multi-Select and Bulk Edit Across Box Components

Tables inside box components now support robust multi-row selection with a shared bulk-edit flow. Users can select multiple rows and operate on them as a set — select-all is now a single batched state update regardless of row count, selected rows are visually highlighted. Bulk actions live in the existing header menu: table-specific quick actions (the BOM table, for example, exposes Assign to vendor, Specified Parts Only, Long lead time accepted, Alternatives allowed, and Customer Will Supply) change immediately from the menu, while a general "Edit" action opens a bulk-edit modal. The modal shows only editable fields, displays "Multiple" when selected rows disagree on a value, and writes only the fields the user actually changed. BOM bulk edit specifically supports sourcing options, selected vendor, markup, landing factor, mount type, and lead count — covering the operations manufacturers perform most often on groups of components.

Open

PRICING & COSTING

Labor BOM Table Column Ordering

Labor BOM tables now read left-to-right the way manufacturers actually calculate the values — name and details first, then base cost, then the multiplier, then the derived totals. The previous ordering forced users to jump across columns to reconstruct how a row's total was computed; the new ordering makes the calculation sequence obvious at a glance.

ERP & INTEGRATIONS

Load PCB Fab Details into the ERP

The editor now includes a control to load a project directly into an ERP, and projects are also loaded automatically when a user creates a quote or updates an existing product via the Apply button. PCB fabrication details flow through the custom mapping so the ERP sees every relevant spec without manual re-entry. This closes a long-standing manual step in the quoting-to-production handoff.

Paste Gerber Auto-Generation for Supplier Packages

When a supplier package is downloaded for a project that is missing TopPaste or BottomPaste layers, Boardera now auto-generates valid paste Gerber files and includes them in the package — named boarderaPaste_top.gbr and boarderaPaste_bottom.gbr. Pad apertures are scaled to 90% of the extracted pad dimensions (the industry-standard reduction for solder paste), and the generated files are proper Gerber RS-274X with X2 attributes identifying them as paste layers authored by Boardera. This removes a manual step that manufacturing engineers have been doing by hand every time a design arrives without paste layers, and it unlocks Mycronic MY600/MY700 solder jet programming out of the box.

UI / UX

Dismissable Toast Messages

All toast notifications now include a visible close control so users can dismiss them immediately rather than waiting for the auto-timeout. Auto-dismiss behavior is preserved, so toasts users ignore still disappear on their own. This fixes a persistent complaint from users who had toasts covering controls they needed to interact with.

Open

Performance Improvements

Several high-traffic pages are now noticeably faster. BOM-related lookups, vendor record access, and chat-list loading have all been meaningfully optimized — the chat list in particular loads and orders correctly at a fraction of its previous latency, and large BOM pricing queries are measurably tighter across the board. These gains apply to every user and every project with no configuration change required.

2026-MAR-16

AI & AUTOMATION

Automated Panel Detection

Boardera has introduced new panel detection capability that automatically identifies panelized PCB designs during the file upload process. When a designer submits Gerber files that contain a panel layout rather than an individual board, the system now analyzes the design data and detect the presence of panelization and provides both a board count per panel and the array configuration.

This improvement reduces the need for manual review and ensures that panelized projects are flagged and handled correctly from the start. By catching panel layouts early in the process, manufacturers can avoid quoting errors and ensure that pricing, tooling, and production assumptions are aligned with the actual design intent. The detection runs automatically in the background and requires no additional action from the user.

Open

Improved Layer Assignment

We have upgraded our automatic PCB layer assignment engine. When Gerber files are uploaded, the system now uses advanced processing technologies to analyze file naming conventions, content patterns, and design context to determine the correct layer type for each file.

This upgrade delivers significantly improved accuracy across a wider range of naming conventions and EDA tool outputs. The result is fewer manual corrections during project setup, faster time-to-quote, and a more reliable digital twin of the PCB design from the moment files are uploaded.

Automatic Design Notes Extraction & Application

Boardera now automatically extracts fabrication notes and tables from both the uploaded Gerber files and PDF files and automatically interprets them against available board fabrication options. When the system detects a specification in the design notes such as "Surface Finish: ENIG" or "Solder Mask: Green" it auto-selects the corresponding option in the project editor and displays a "Detected" icon above each affected field so users can see exactly what was found and why. This feature is early stages and will get more and more capable over time.

Provenance Report

A new Platform Intelligence widget in the editor provides a summary of the detected suggestions. Clicking it opens a full history modal showing the extracted text and the interpreted option. When conflicting notes are found across different layers, the system flags them for user resolution rather than guessing. Users can override any auto-selected option at any time. This feature dramatically reduces manual data entry during project setup, ensures specifications are captured directly from the designer’s intent, and speeds up the path from upload to quote.

Open

QUOTING WORKFLOW

New Quote Creation Experience

We have introduced a streamlined "Create New Quote" workflow that allows manufacturer users to build quotes from scratch in a way that mirrors traditional ERP processes. Instead of requiring a project upload first, users can now start with a blank quote, select or create a customer account and contact, add line items, and submit in a single guided flow.

New accounts and contacts can be created inline without leaving the quote flow, and the system handles all record creation atomically on submission. This makes the quoting process faster and more intuitive for manufacturer teams accustomed to starting from the quote rather than the project.

Open

Quote Versioning

Quotes now support full version history. When a customer requests a re-quote with different specifications or quantities, manufacturers can create a new version of the quote rather than editing it in place. Each version is preserved as a complete, read-only snapshot of the quote at that point in time, including all line items, pricing, and overrides.

Multiple Quantity Support

Manufacturers can now clone an existing quote line item to quickly create a new one at a different quantity. When a line item is cloned, all sourcing decisions, vendor selections, price overrides, attrition settings, and manual adjustments are copied to the new line item automatically.

After selecting "Clone," the user is prompted for the new quantity. The system then creates the new line item with all overrides intact and recalculates pricing based on the updated quantity. The cloned line item is fully independent and can be edited without affecting the original. This eliminates the tedious and error-prone process of manually recreating complex configurations when quoting the same project at multiple volumes.

Multiple Quote Requests Per Project

We have removed the restriction that previously limited users to a single quote request per project. Both designers and manufacturers can now request additional quotes from the project editor at any time, regardless of how many quotes already exist for that project.

Each quote is created as a separate record, and previously requested quotes remain unchanged. This gives teams the flexibility to explore different quantity scenarios, compare pricing across revisions, or re-quote after specification changes without disrupting existing quote history. All quotes for a project are visible in the quote history view.

Exceptions Table

A new dedicated Exceptions table has been added to the quoting workflow, providing a single consolidated view of every issue on a quote. Each exception is categorized by severity — Errors (which block submission), Warnings (which recommend review), and Info (awareness only) — using clear color-coded indicators so users can immediately understand the priority of each item.

Clicking on any exception navigates directly to the responsible field, eliminating the need to scroll through the page searching for the source of an issue. Users can also dismiss or acknowledge reviewed warnings, which collapse into a separate section to keep the active list focused. This streamlined approach to exception management results in faster, more confident quoting with fewer blocked submissions and reduced error rates.

Open

PCB SPECIFICATIONS

Universal "Other" Option for PCB & Assembly Fields

A new "Other" option is now available across key PCB fabrication and assembly specification fields, including Solder Mask, Silkscreen, Finishing, Material, and Assembly Options. When a designer's requirement is not available in the standard dropdown list, they can now select "Other" and enter a free-text description of their exact specification.

The system stores the custom value and displays it as "Other: [your description]" throughout the project editor, quote documents, and supplier RFQ views. Selecting "Other" on any field automatically defaults to a "Quote Required" status, ensuring that non-standard specifications receive proper review and pricing. Manufacturers can also reference these custom values in their pricing formulas using new isOther formula functions, providing full flexibility for handling non-standard requirements within automated pricing workflows.

Expanded PCB Fabrication Material Options

The PCB material selection has been expanded from a single FR-4 default to a comprehensive list of over 25 laminate materials. Designers can now specify the exact substrate required for their board, including standard options like FR-4 Fiberglass and FR-4 Halogen-Free, as well as specialty materials such as Polyimide, PTFE, Aluminum-Core IMS, and a full range of Rogers high-frequency laminates (RO4350B, RO4003C, RT/duroid 5880, and more).

Each material option is integrated across the project editor, pricing configuration, and manufacturer capabilities settings. Manufacturers can configure pricing for individual materials and define which substrates their facility supports. The selected material is available in the formula engine for use in custom pricing logic, and is passed through to order output and manufacturing notes.

Open

BOM & SOURCING

BOM Vendor Custom Offers

Manufacturers can now setup global custom vendors and enter custom vendor offers for individual BOM components directly within the platform. When the automatically sourced pricing does not reflect a negotiated rate, a preferred supplier agreement, or an alternate sourcing arrangement, users can add a custom offer that overrides the default pricing for that component.

Custom offers are entered through a dedicated modal on each BOM line item and are displayed in a clear table alongside the standard sourcing data. The system automatically recalculates all downstream costs, margins, and profit projections when a custom offer is applied, ensuring that the financial impact is immediately visible. This feature gives quoting teams the flexibility to reflect real-world procurement arrangements directly in their quotes without manual workarounds.

Standardized BOM Column Headers

We have redesigned the BOM table columns to provide clearer, more transparent visibility into what each value represents. The updated layout includes 40 standardized columns covering the full lifecycle of a component — from reference designators and part identification through vendor pricing, attrition quantities, tariff costs, factored costs, and compliance data.

Each column now uses precise, unambiguous headers so users can immediately understand whether a value includes factors like landing costs, attrition, or markups. New columns have been added for Attrition Quantity, Factored Unit Cost, Total Scrap Cost, Cost Factor percentage, and Country of Origin, among others. These same standardized columns are reflected in BOM exports, ensuring that exported data matches exactly what users see on screen and eliminating confusion when sharing BOM data with procurement teams or external systems.

Attrition Quantity in BOM and JSON Exports

BOM spreadsheet and JSON exports now include a dedicated "Attrition Qty" column that shows the additional quantity added per component due to attrition. This value represents the difference between the base quantity and the total purchase quantity, giving procurement teams immediate visibility into how many extra parts are being ordered to account for production losses.

The new column is positioned between the existing base quantity and total purchase quantity columns for easy comparison. When attrition is not configured or set to zero, the column displays 0. Values are fully consistent across the UI, spreadsheet, and JSON exports, ensuring that downstream purchasing systems receive accurate attrition data without manual calculation.

PRICING & COSTING

Editor Streamlined — Pricing Moved to Quotes

The project editor has been streamlined by removing pricing elements that are now handled entirely within the quoting workflow. The quantity input, price estimate, and pricing-related data have been removed from the editor, allowing it to focus purely on capturing the design's technical specifications and building an accurate digital twin of the PCB project.

The BOM section in the editor has been renamed from "Part Sourcing" to "BOM Parts" and now focuses on technical part information — descriptions, packages, and valid part verification — rather than pricing and availability. A new "View Quotes" action in the editor takes users directly to the quotes page filtered for the current project, providing a clear bridge between design specification and the quoting process. This separation ensures that pricing decisions are made in the right context and that the editor remains fast and focused on design accuracy.

Profit Projections Update

The Profit Projections section has been enhanced with the introduction of new Cost Factor and Factored Cost columns. These additions expand the system’s ability to represent true underlying costs by clearly separating base costs from applied cost adjustments. This provides greater transparency into how costs are built up and improves the accuracy of margin and profit calculations across PCB, assembly, and BOM domains.

Open

Rush Timing Calculations

We have added new configuration options that allow manufacturers to precisely control how rush orders affect lead time calculations. This ensures that expedited timelines remain realistic and aligned with each manufacturer’s actual operational capabilities, rather than relying on fixed or overly aggressive assumptions.

Manufacturers can now define a percentage-based lead time reduction for rush orders and apply a maximum reduction in days to cap how much lead time can be shortened. The system automatically applies whichever reduction results in the smaller change, maintaining consistency and preventing unrealistic delivery promises. Rush-adjusted lead times are reflected throughout the platform, including within lead time variables used in custom formulas, ensuring that all pricing logic, markups, and downstream calculations remain accurate and synchronized.

UI / UX

Edit Mode Follows Your Active Tab

The project editor now automatically transfers write access to whichever browser tab or window you are actively viewing. Previously, opening the same project in multiple tabs could result in one tab being locked into read-only mode, requiring a manual refresh to regain editing control.

With this update, navigating away from a tab automatically releases its edit lock, and returning to a tab automatically re-establishes the connection. This means you can freely switch between tabs and windows without encountering read-only blocks, making multi-tab workflows significantly smoother and eliminating a common source of frustration during project setup.

Disable Platform Emails for Internal Tool Customers

Manufacturers who use Boardera as an internal quoting tool can now disable all automated emails sent to their customers. Two levels of control are available: a domain-level setting on the Customer Management page that disables all customer-facing emails across the entire organization, and a per-quote checkbox that suppresses emails for a specific quote only.

When enabled, the domain-level setting prevents all designer-targeted emails including quote ready notifications, unread message alerts, and account invitations. Manufacturer-facing emails are unaffected. The per-quote option appears when creating a new quote and entering a customer email, allowing selective control on a case-by-case basis. Both settings default to off for new and existing domains, ensuring no change in behavior until explicitly configured.

Additional Costing Details

We have added new dedicated tables to clearly separate and present key costing components. Tariffs now have their own dedicated table, making it easier to understand how duties impact overall pricing. Shipping and logistics costs are also presented in a dedicated table, providing clearer visibility into fulfillment-related expenses.

In addition, BOM costs and markups are now shown in their own dedicated table. This separation improves transparency and allows manufacturers to review material costs and applied markups independently from other pricing elements.

Open

2026-JAN-29

Via Plugging (IPC-4761)

Boardera now supports the full range of IPC-4761 via plugging options, replacing the previous "Resin Plugged Vias" checkbox with a dedicated dropdown. PCB design engineers can now specify the exact via protection method required for their board, from simple tenting through to filled and capped configurations.

The available options include Type I Tent through Type VII Fill & Cap Copper, and non IPC Solder Mask Plug & Cover. Each option is available in the project editor, pricing configuration, and manufacturer capabilities settings, allowing you to configure pricing for each plugging method and define which options your facility supports. Existing projects that used the Resin Plugged Vias checkbox have been automatically migrated to the corresponding dropdown value.

Open

More Solder Mask Colour Options

We have expanded the solder mask colour selection from a limited set to 13 options, giving designers a wider range of finish and appearance choices for their boards. The full list now includes Green (default), Green Matte, Green Semi-Matte, Green Glossy, Black, Yellow, Red, Purple, White, LED White, Blue, Clear, and None.

Each colour option is integrated across the project editor, pricing configuration, and manufacturer capabilities settings. Manufacturers can configure pricing for individual colours and define which options their facility supports. The selected colour is passed through to order output and manufacturing notes.

Open

Laminate CTI (Comparative Tracking Index)

A new Laminate CTI configuration is now available, allowing designers to specify the electrical safety rating required for their PCB laminate. CTI measures a material's resistance to surface electrical tracking and is critical for meeting IEC and UL safety certifications.

The available options follow the IPC Performance Level Categories: PLC 0 (CTI >= 600V), PLC 1 (CTI >= 400V), PLC 2 (CTI >= 250V), and PLC 3 (CTI >= 175V), with PLC 2 as the default — the standard rating for FR-4 laminates. This attribute is configurable in pricing, the project editor, and manufacturer capabilities.

Open

2026-JAN-08

Sourcing issue count and filter

We have added a new sourcing issue summary to the BOM view that clearly surfaces the overall health of component sourcing. The system now displays a count of items that are OK, have warnings, or contain errors, giving users an immediate understanding of potential sourcing risks within a project.

Each status is fully interactive. Clicking on any indicator automatically filters the BOM to show only the relevant components, allowing users to focus quickly on issues that require attention. In addition, individual warning and error indicators are displayed directly beside the affected part numbers, making it easy to identify specific problems such as lifecycle concerns or missing attributes without leaving the BOM view. This enhancement improves visibility, speeds up issue resolution, and reduces the risk of overlooking critical sourcing constraints during quoting.

Open

Box components are now collapsable

We have added the ability to expand and collapse individual components throughout the interface. This improvement is particularly valuable on pages with a high level of detail, such as the Quote Line Item details view, where large numbers of components and supporting sections are commonly displayed.

By allowing users to collapse sections that are not immediately relevant, the interface becomes easier to navigate and significantly less cluttered. This helps users focus on the information that matters most at each stage of the quoting process, improving usability and efficiency when working with complex jobs.

Open

Lead Times are now available in custom formulas

We have added support for using project lead time values directly within custom pricing formulas. Manufacturers can now reference calculated lead times when defining their own logic, making it possible to adjust pricing and markups dynamically based on how quickly a job needs to be completed. This enables scenarios such as applying premium costs for expedited builds or adjusting pricing tiers automatically based on delivery expectations.

Lead times are calculated in working days and are kept consistent with the values shown throughout the system. This enhancement gives manufacturers greater control and flexibility in how they price jobs, while ensuring that lead time–driven logic remains reliable, predictable, and aligned with the overall quoting model.

2025-NOV-20

UI/UX

Based on continued testing and your feedback we continue to improve the user experience. Thank you for your feedback.

1. You can now hover over a part in the BOM and access a copy control for pasting into other pages as needed.

2. Global column visibility control has been added to all box components so you can see the data that is important to you and hide that which is not.

3. We are including the part numbers and descriptions on the Quotes table so you can see your customer references to the line items within the quote.

4. Metric values are now visible for Copper Weight in both Capabilities and the Project Editor.

5. References to ‘Partial Drills’ will now be referenced as ‘Controlled Depth Drilling’ to add clarity in both Pricing Automation and Editor experiences.

PRICING AUTOMATION

Our vision and investment in automating the mundane to keep you focussed on your meaningful tasks continue.

1. Further improvements to automated layer assignment for the PCB have been added and refinement to our models will continue. This will minimize oversight and effort to create the digital twin.

2. Tariffs. We will now supply worst case scenario tariff costs in scenarios where >1 CoO (Country of Origin) is identified for a single component. This will ensure we are all planning for worst case scenario when the true CoO for a future purchase is unclear.

DATA EXPORT

Investment continues to ensure the results of the platform's analysis, manufacturing and pricing recipes are made available to your systems appropriately.

1. A more detailed breakdown of of pricing is now available in the JSON Data Export.

2. An Add to Cart link is now available in the JSON Data Export. This will allow the buying customer the ability to click and confirm the order using non native communications and quote documents.

2025-OCT-02

Beta Testing - An AI boost for Labour Pricing challenges.

We are excited to announce the Beta launch of a powerful new feature that brings natural language AI prompts into the labor pricing process. This feature allows users to guide the system with simple instructions, and in turn the AI analyzes each component to determine which pricing formula should apply. Traditional formulas remain at the core of the calculations, ensuring that labor costs are always accurate, consistent, and aligned with established methods.

What makes this feature stand out is the intelligence it brings to component analysis. Instead of requiring the user to manually classify every part into families, the AI evaluates details such as package type, solderability, and inspection requirements, and then selects the appropriate formulas accordingly. This combination of trusted calculations and AI-driven insights provides the best of both worlds: the reliability of structured cost formulas with the flexibility and automation of modern AI.

In addition, the system can support several AI prompts at once, giving users the flexibility to describe exactly how they want to price manufacturing jobs down to the finest detail. This approach enables labor costs to be calculated with unprecedented accuracy, while at the same time leveraging automation to quote even the most complex jobs in minutes instead of days. The result is a faster, smarter quoting process that maintains precision without sacrificing speed.

This feature is currently available as an opt-in Beta. If you would like to participate and explore how AI-driven prompts can enhance your quoting process, please contact us to enable it on your account. We look forward to your feedback as we continue to refine and expand this capability.

Open

2025-SEP-25

Gantt Chart Lead Time View

We have introduced a new Gantt chart view for lead time calculations, providing manufacturers with a clear and visual representation of production timelines. This feature allows users to better understand scheduling impacts and plan resources more effectively throughout the quoting process.

Open

Improved Shipping Lead Time Estimate

Shipping lead time estimates are now more accurate, reflecting improvements in how we calculate and adjust for regional variations and carrier performance. These refinements ensure that manufacturers can provide customers with realistic delivery expectations.

More Tiers for Attrition Quantity

Attrition configurations have been expanded to include more quantity tiers, offering manufacturers finer control over production assumptions at varying volumes. This enhancement allows for more precise planning in situations where different production runs experience different attrition rates.

Attrition Rates can be Calculated as a Percentage

A new calculation method has been added for attrition, giving users the ability to set values as percentages in addition to fixed numbers. This option provides greater flexibility and helps manufacturers match their internal costing practices more closely.

Tariff Rate Export Improvements

Tariff rate exports within pricing reports have been improved to provide more accurate values. These updates help ensure that the landed cost of parts is clearly and reliably reflected in all customer-facing documents.

Designer Purchase Order PDF

Designers placing an order can now attach their own purchase order directly in the system. This makes it easier for both parties to align internal documentation and streamlines the order handoff process.

Line by Line BOM and Labor Markups

Manufacturers now have the ability to edit BOM component markups line by line. By default, the system automatically applies markup values based on the manufacturer’s standard configurations, but this feature provides the flexibility to adjust individual components where necessary. Once changes are made, the system automatically recalculates the overall profit and margin projections, ensuring that the financial impact of each adjustment is immediately clear. This gives quoting teams both accuracy and agility when fine-tuning their pricing strategies.

Assembly labor markups can also now be edited on a line-by-line basis, providing the same combination of automation and manual control. Default markup values are applied automatically to maintain consistency, but manufacturers can override them for specific tasks or labor types as needed. Every adjustment is reflected in updated profit and margin projections, giving teams confidence that their quotes capture both detailed cost realities and accurate overall profitability.

Open

2025-AUG-08

Automatic Notifications for Quote Process Owners

We have added a feature that keeps team members informed when they are assigned as the process owner of a quote. As soon as a quote is created or updated with a specific process owner, that team member will automatically receive a notification. This ensures the right person is aware of their responsibility and can take action without delay.

By notifying process owners immediately, this update helps maintain accountability, improves response times, and keeps your quoting workflow running smoothly from start to finish.

Support for Semicolon-Delimited BOMs

We have expanded our BOM import capabilities to support files that use semicolons as delimiters. This improvement ensures that BOMs formatted with semicolons can now be parsed and processed correctly without the need for manual reformatting.

With this update, you can work more easily with files from different design tools or customer formats, saving time and reducing the risk of errors during the import process.

2025-JUL-25

Cost, Price, Margin, and Markups Box Component

We’re excited to introduce a powerful new feature that brings full profit transparency to your quoting process. With our new profit projections tool, Boardera now automatically calculates detailed profit breakdowns for every quote giving you instant visibility into the financial performance of each job before you send a quote to your customer.

You’ll see a complete breakdown by cost category (PCB, Assembly, and BOM), including applied markups, gross profit, and margin percentages. The platform clearly displays both the list price values and the impact of any customer discounts, so you can compare how each offer affects your bottom line at a glance. You’ll know exactly where your profits come from and how adjustments to pricing or discounts will affect your margins and total profitability.

This level of insight helps you make smarter pricing decisions, quickly identify quotes that need adjustment, and ensure that your business remains competitive and profitable. With automated profit projections, you’re always a step ahead in managing your manufacturing business with confidence.

Open

Allow numbers in Custom Formula/Project Calculations labels

We’ve made a small but impactful improvement to help you organize your pricing and calculation workflows. You can now include numbers in the labels for your custom formulas and project calculation formulas. This makes it easier to create clear and descriptive names, such as “Markup_1,” “SMTCount_Line_2,” or “Step_3.” Your team will be able to quickly identify and manage different formulas within your projects.

This update makes it simpler to keep your work organized and your processes more intuitive, especially when handling complex quotes with multiple custom calculations.

Storefront Update: Request Quotes for Multiple Quantities

We’ve made it easier for designers to get comprehensive pricing information. In the Storefront, designers can now add multiple quantities to a single quote request. This allows you to compare pricing for different order sizes and submit your requirements all at once, without the need for separate requests.

When the quote request is sent, the manufacturer receives a single, consolidated request showing all quantities and requirements in one place. This streamlines the review process, reduces back-and-forth communication, and makes it simpler for both designers and manufacturers to find the best solution for every project.

Open

2025-JUL-18

Connect Your Mouser & Arrow Accounts and Fetch Contract Pricing

We’ve expanded our contract pricing integration to include both Mouser and Arrow, two of the industry’s leading electronics distributors. Manufacturer users can now connect their Mouser and Arrow accounts to Boardera using their own credentials, allowing them to fetch their exact negotiated prices for BOM components during the quoting process. This enhancement builds on our existing integrations with Digikey and Cofactr, giving you even more options to ensure your quotes reflect your true purchasing costs.

With contract pricing support for Mouser, Arrow, Digikey, and Cofactr, you can now streamline your sourcing, eliminate manual price checks, and create quotes that are both accurate and competitive—no matter which distributor you work with. This new capability makes it easier than ever to keep your quoting aligned with your purchasing agreements.

Custom Pricing Formulas: Query Mount Types and Placement Counts

We have introduced a new capability that gives manufacturer users even more control over their custom pricing formulas. You can now query specific mount types and placement counts directly within your pricing logic. This means you can create highly tailored pricing strategies based on the number of components with certain mount types such as SMT or through-hole and the total placement count for each project.

By leveraging these new parameters, you can better reflect true production complexity, apply differentiated markups, and fine-tune your pricing for a wide range of assembly scenarios. This feature allows you to build smarter, more flexible formulas that adapt to the unique requirements of every job.

Improved Clarity in the PCB Project Editor

We’ve made the PCB project editor easier to use and more intuitive with a series of clarity-focused enhancements. Users will now notice improved tooltips, more informative helper text, and clearer toast notifications throughout the editor. These updates are designed to make it easier to understand each step, reduce confusion, and help you complete your projects faster and with greater confidence.

With these improvements, finding the right options and understanding your next steps is simpler than ever, so you can spend less time troubleshooting and more time getting your quotes and projects completed.

Manufacturer-Configurable Messages for Customers

We’ve added a new feature that allows manufacturers to communicate important information directly to their customers within the Boardera platform. Manufacturers can now configure a custom message that will be displayed to designers when they access their quotes or projects. This makes it easy to highlight timely updates, such as changes to tariff rates, important reminders, or any other critical notes the customer should be aware of. With this capability, manufacturers can keep designers informed and ensure everyone is on the same page throughout the quoting and order process.

Detailed Markup Calculations

Take your quoting strategy to the next level with enhanced markup options.

What’s new?
Boardera now gives you much greater control over how markups are applied to your quotes. Instead of a single slider, you now have separate markup formulas for three distinct cost categories: PCB Fabrication, Labor, and BOM. Each category can have its own formula and unique logic, allowing you to trigger different markup calculations based on the specifics of each job.

How does this help you?
You can tailor your margin strategy to fit the needs of your business, products, or customers. For example, apply different markups for high-layer boards, special labor requirements, or BOM components. The system’s flexibility means your quotes are always accurate, competitive, and aligned with your pricing goals.

With these new markup controls, you gain the power to automate complex pricing strategies and respond to changing market conditions without extra manual effort.

Open

Expanded Support for BOM substitutions

We’ve made importing BOMs even more flexible and reliable by broadening our support for part number substitutions. Designers often specify alternate or substitute part numbers in different formats, and Boardera can now recognize and process more of these variations automatically during BOM import. This means fewer manual adjustments, less risk of missing key alternates, and a smoother workflow for getting from design to quote.

You can confidently import complex BOMs, knowing that Boardera will recognize designer-specified substitutes. This leads to fewer errors, better sourcing flexibility, and faster quoting, especially when parts are constrained or supply chains are unpredictable.

With this update, you spend less time cleaning up BOMs and more time moving your projects forward.

Customer Purchase Order Processing

We’ve made it easier for manufacturers to process orders, even when customers prefer sending purchase orders by email.

Manufacturer users can now create and process orders on behalf of their customers directly in Boardera. If you receive a PO from a customer outside the system, you can enter the order into Boardera, ensuring it’s correctly tracked and visible to your customer in their account.

All order paperwork—including confirmations and invoices—will automatically reflect the right customer and vendor details. This keeps your documentation clean, reduces confusion, and ensures everyone is on the same page, no matter how the order was submitted.

This update gives you more flexibility in managing customer relationships, streamlines your workflow, and helps maintain accurate records throughout the quoting and ordering process.

Edit Component Package Type

You now have even more control over your component placement labor in Boardera.

Manufacturer users can manually edit the package type and lead count for each BOM component. This is especially useful when automated imports miss or misinterpret this data, or when you need to specify a unique package for quoting purposes.

Accurate package and lead count information means Boardera’s automation can provide precise pricing and attrition calculations every time. By manually entering or correcting these details, you can ensure your quotes reflect the true cost and yield for every part.

This feature gives you the flexibility to fine-tune your labor and maximize the value of Boardera’s automated calculations.

Locked Quotes

We’ve introduced a new system to help you maintain the integrity of your quoted prices. When a quote is moved into the READY state, it becomes locked and is set to view-only. This means no further edits can be made while the quote remains in this state, ensuring that the prices and details you’ve shared with your customers are preserved exactly as quoted.

If a situation arises where changes are necessary, the quote can easily be moved back to the PENDING state. Only then will edits be permitted. This process minimizes the risk of accidental updates to finalized quotes, provides greater transparency, and creates a reliable audit trail for your quoting workflow. With locked quotes, you can be confident that the prices you present to your customers will remain consistent and secure until you decide a change is required.

New Integration: Boardera and Cofactr – Automated Quoting and Sourcing

We’re excited to announce a major step forward in automating your electronics supply chain. Boardera now offers seamless integration with Cofactr, a leading provider of sourcing and logistics solutions for electronics manufacturers.

With this integration, you can generate all your customer quotes quickly and accurately in Boardera. Once your quote is ready, Boardera passes all the detailed data directly to Cofactr, where you can handle every aspect of purchasing, kitting, and logistics. This workflow lets you take advantage of Cofactr’s extensive supplier network, real-time inventory insights, streamlined procurement, and powerful kitting and shipping capabilities.

You benefit from fast, detailed quoting inside Boardera, and then use Cofactr’s advanced platform to manage everything from purchasing to final delivery. This approach reduces manual entry, saves time, and helps prevent errors, giving you a more connected, automated, and reliable process from quote to production.

With Boardera and Cofactr working together, you can automate your entire quoting, sourcing, and fulfillment pipeline, while keeping each part of the process in the system that does it best.

BOM Item Unit Cost Override

Sometimes you know your true costs better than any database

You can now manually override the unit cost of any BOM component. If our system can’t find a vendor price, or if you have special pricing from your suppliers, simply enter your own value directly.

• Total flexibility: Enter custom pricing for hard-to-find or specially-sourced parts.

• Accurate quoting: Reflect your real costs in every quote, even when vendor data isn’t available.

• Full control: Ensure your unique deals and negotiated prices are always factored in.

This update ensures your quotes are as accurate as possible, no matter how you source your components.

Import Component Manufacturer from the BOM

When you import your Bill of Materials (BOM), Boardera now automatically reads and matches the manufacturer field for each component. This means our system can distinguish between identical part numbers from different manufacturers, or recognize when a manufacturer has acquired another company eliminating common errors and ensuring the right part is quoted every time.

How does this help you?

• Greater accuracy: Reduce the risk of quoting the wrong component, even if part numbers are shared between manufacturers.

• Seamless transitions: Stay up to date when manufacturers merge or get acquired. Boardera tracks these changes for you.

• Clear reporting: If any mismatches or uncertainties arise, you’ll find them clearly listed in the Exceptions Report, so nothing falls through the cracks.

This enhancement saves time, reduces errors, and gives you more confidence that your quotes are using the exact components you need.

Quote JSON Export

We’re excited to announce a powerful new way to work with your Boardera quotes.
You can now export your entire quote—including every detail of your labor calculations, BOM costing, and PCB fabrication breakdown—as a structured JSON file.

Why does this matter?
Whether you need to bring Boardera data into your own quoting system, integrate with your internal database, or generate custom quote documents, this new export feature puts you in control. All critical quote data is included, giving you the flexibility to design, automate, and create quotes exactly the way your business needs.

How it works:
Simply use the new “Export as JSON” option from the quote screen to instantly download a file ready for integration with your systems.

If you’ve been waiting for an easy way to access and repurpose all your quote data, this release is for you.

Docxtemplater is now supported

We’re making it even easier to generate fully customized quote documents.

The new JSON export is now compatible with Docxtemplater, a powerful tool that lets you upload your own Word or Excel template and automatically generate professional, formatted documents populated with any Boardera quote data.

• Brand your quotes: Use your company’s templates to create perfectly formatted, on-brand quote documents with no manual editing required.

• Streamline your workflow: Instantly generate PDFs or Word/Excel files from your Boardera quotes with just a few clicks.

• Maximum flexibility: Whether you need unique layouts, additional calculations, or special terms, Docxtemplater puts you in the driver’s seat.

Combine the power of Boardera’s detailed quote data with your own document templates to create professional, tailored output that fits your exact business needs.

Tariff Rates Always Displayed

The Boardera Quote Tool now displays the tariff rate percentage for each BOM line item, even when your vendor’s price already includes tariffs. This small but valuable update ensures you always have a clear view of all tariff-related costs, whether they’re broken out separately or bundled into the vendor’s price.

Vendor Grouping Options for PCB Fabricators

We’re giving you more control and intelligence when managing your PCB fabricator vendors.

You can now organize your PCB fabricators as Preferred, Approved, or Request-for-Quote Only just like you already do for BOM suppliers. This makes it easy to quickly identify and select the right fabricators for each job.

The Boardera platform uses this vendor grouping data, along with each fabricator’s capabilities and cost configurations, to automatically optimize your sourcing decisions. The system prioritizes your preferred and approved partners, helping you get the best mix of quality, cost, and reliability without extra manual effort.

Additionally, if a vendor is labeled as RFQ Only the system will never use their pricing for the automated quotes or orders.

With these new grouping options and built-in automation, Boardera makes your PCB sourcing process smarter and more efficient than ever.

Automatic Tariff Calculation for PCBs

We’re making it easier to quote with total accuracy, right down to the landed cost of every PCB. Boardera now automatically calculates and applies tariffs to all PCB fabrication costs. When you add a PCB item, the system immediately factors in the latest applicable tariff rates. This ensures your quotes always reflect the true delivered cost without any extra research or manual calculations. You can ensure compliance with up-to-date tariff rates and quote your customers with confidence that tariff costs are included. This enhancement saves you time, improves accuracy, and helps prevent surprises, so you can focus on winning more business.

Automated Component Tariff Calculation

We've introduced an initial version of automatic tariff calculations for components to help users better understand potential costs. Additionally, users can now specify if a vendor already includes tariffs in their pricing, ensuring that tariffs are not added twice. This is our first step toward streamlining tariff estimations, and we plan to continue improving and expanding this feature over time.

PCB Fabrication Priced by Square Meter

PCB fabricators can now configure their base fabrication costs based on the square meter usage of materials. This improvement enhances pricing accuracy by ensuring fabrication costs better reflect material consumption, leading to more precise and competitive quotes.

Updated AI Layer Assignment

Our AI-driven layer assignment feature has been upgraded to support a wider range of PCB layers with greater accuracy. This improvement allows for better recognition and automatic assignment of complex layer configurations, reducing manual adjustments and streamlining the quoting process. Users can now experience faster and more precise layer detection across various board designs.

Even More Attrition Calculations

We've added more configuration options for manufacturer-specific component attrition calculations. This update provides greater flexibility in defining attrition rates, ensuring more accurate cost estimates and material planning. Users can now better align attrition settings with their manufacturing requirements.

Show Assembly Sub-totals on the PDF Quote

Manufacturers can now choose whether to display subtotals for PCB fabrication, labor, and BOM pricing on the PDF quote. This added flexibility allows for better customization based on customer preferences and internal pricing strategies.

Find a simple way for users to continue with panel files

Users will now be asked to specify whether uploaded files are panel files (or "working" files) in cases where our automation cannot detect them automatically. This ensures greater accuracy in file processing and prevents misinterpretation of manufacturing data.

BOM Importing Preview - Row Selection

The BOM Import Preview now allows users to see and select which rows will be imported. While our automation accurately detects rows in most cases, this feature serves as a fallback to ensure no data is missed when automation does not capture all entries.

Open

Support for Customer’s Part Number and Internal Part Number

We've added support for two new unique identifiers in the BOM import: the customer's part number and the manufacturer's internal part number. This enhancement improves part tracking and ensures greater accuracy when matching components across different systems.

Expanded Inspection Labor Calculations

We've improved the inspection labor calculation to include calculating the price per component placement to provide more accurate estimates based on job complexity and board specifications. This enhancement ensures better labor cost projections and more precise quoting for manufacturers.

Quote Level Market Adjustment

Users can now adjust the "Market Adjustment" dial on a per-quote basis rather than just globally. This allows for more flexible pricing adjustments tailored to individual quotes, improving responsiveness to market conditions and customer-specific pricing strategies.
