Switch to Parter
Accuris, the former IHS Markit Parts Intelligence, gives you one of the deepest parts catalogs in the industry. Parter picks up where the catalog stops: it finds form-fit-function alternatives for every part on your BOM, weighs cost, stock, lead time and lifecycle together, and hands back a reviewed swap while it is still a design choice.
Four moments your team already has every week. What each one costs you now, and what it turns into.
With Accuris
Accuris flags it on the health dashboard, and the dashboard is where it ends. Finding the replacement is still your afternoon. The alert arrives, the work remains
With Parter
The flag arrives with its replacement: form-fit-function candidates already checked against stock, price and lifecycle. You review a swap, not a to-do.
With Accuris
Each part is its own search, its own candidate list, its own judgment call. Nobody has time for that across a whole BOM, so only the parts already on fire get checked. Everything else stays as it is
With Parter
Parter's BOM optimizer works the whole BOM at once. Cost, lifecycle, stock and lead time are weighed together, in one pass. Alternatives found and single-sourced parts flagged.
With Accuris
AI is arriving as a new tier on a decades-old platform. It can summarize what the catalog already knows, once it is in your contract. A feature you wait for, then pay for
With Parter
Parter is AI-native, it is not a feature we added, it is the product. Agents read datasheets, judge fit and watch the market for you, included from the first day, for everyone.
With Accuris
Seats are concurrent and priced by quote, so access becomes a queue. Someone is always waiting for someone else to log out, and adding a seat means calling sales
With Parter
Everyone who touches the BOM can be in the same workspace, engineering and sourcing together. And anyone can start today: the alternative finder is free, no account, no call
Upload a BOM. Parter goes through every part in it, finds alternatives wherever they exist, and hands the whole thing back ready to review.
Pitching it internally
Making the case for a new tool means a few predictable exchanges. Here is roughly how they go.
Parter picks up exactly where the alert stops: the flag comes back with a reviewed replacement attached, checked against stock, price and lifecycle. So keep what you know, nobody is asking you to drop it. The catalog is deep and your team knows its way around it. The test costs one BOM: upload it, and judge what comes back against what your process would have caught.
Parter covers the lifecycle, compliance and risk work you already buy elsewhere, so for a lot of teams it replaces a subscription rather than adding one. The optimizer then takes cost out of the BOM itself, a cheaper equal for every part, not just the ones somebody had time to check. So the budget question flips: the pilot costs an upload, and the next budget cycle starts from your own numbers instead of a brochure.
With Parter, AI is not the roadmap, it is the product you get on day one: datasheets read for you, live checks with distributors and manufacturers, matches graded honestly. Accuris adding an AI tier proves the direction is right. The question is whether you want it built in or bolted on, and one part run through both will answer that.
I think we should look at replacing Accuris with Parter. Parter covers what we use Accuris for, lifecycle, compliance and risk monitoring, and adds the part we currently do by hand: it reviews every part on a BOM for lower-cost form-fit-function alternatives, so a flagged part comes back with a replacement already reviewed rather than a score we still need to act on. Each recommendation includes a compatibility assessment and the reasoning behind it, so we would still review and approve every decision. Testing it costs us nothing: we upload one BOM, compare what Parter finds against what we get today, and decide whether the coverage and savings justify the swap. It would also consolidate the modules we currently pay for separately. Would you be open to trying it on one BOM? Find out more: https://parter.ai
Everything you need to secure your BOM, outsmart market disruptions, and build an unbreakable supply chain - all in one proactive platform.
Everything that needs a decision, in one list you can scan, with the handling tracked so nothing quietly falls off.
Stock, lead time, price and lifecycle are tracked continuously. Movement on a part you use turns into an issue instead of a surprise.
Ask a question about a part and get an answer grounded in its documentation, not a general guess.
Hunts down candidates for any part, and shows its work.
Sweeps the whole BOM, finds alternatives for every part it can, marks the ones that suit you better, and shows you where you're exposed.
Compare any two parts side by side, with the differences called out instead of left for you to spot.
How switching works
You upload your BOM to our platform, so the transition takes minutes rather than months. Any format, any structure, from any export, or a direct API connection to your ERP or MRP. Run it alongside what you quote in today, for as long as you like.
