Switch to Parter
SiliconExpert tells you which parts are at risk. Parter picks up where the alert 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 SiliconExpert
You get the alert, and the alert is where it ends. Finding the replacement is still your afternoon. The alert arrives, the work remains
With Parter
It lands on one list. Stock, lead time, price and lifecycle are watched for you, so a change arrives as something to handle, with the handling tracked.
With SiliconExpert
Cross-reference gives you candidate lists, one part at a time. Judging fit is still on you, line by line. A list, not an answer
With Parter
Parter's BOM optimizer works the whole BOM at once. Cost, lifecycle, stock and lead time are optimized together, in one pass. Alternatives found and single-sourced parts flagged.
With SiliconExpert
Parametric data side by side, but the datasheets are still yours to read before you trust it. Data to compare, not a case to review
With Parter
Form, fit and function come with the suggestion. Including the parts that only partly match, and exactly where they differ.
With SiliconExpert
Part numbers go in the way the system expects them. Cleanup first, answers later. Your file, their format
With Parter
Any format, any structure, from any export. Parter works out the columns and structures the file for you.
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.
With Parter, a flagged part arrives with somewhere to go, so the list gets shorter instead of longer. And everything SiliconExpert tells you today, Parter tells you too, then handles. Because SiliconExpert is good at telling you which parts are a problem; the trouble starts after that. The list gets exported, somebody works through the top of it, and the rest waits for a quarter with room in it. Nothing is broken, which is exactly why it stays that way.
Parter replaces a line in the budget instead of adding one. It covers what SiliconExpert covers, lifecycle status, compliance, risk alerts, cross-references, so switching is a swap, not a new subscription on top of the old one. Then the optimizer takes cost out of the BOM itself, by finding a cheaper equal for every part rather than only the ones somebody had time to check. Upload one BOM and walk into the next budget cycle with your own numbers instead of a brochure.
Parter goes and asks the distributors and the manufacturer now, reads the datasheet against your original, and tells you where a match only partly holds. Then it does that for every part on the board instead of the one you had time for. A general assistant answers from what it read months ago, so it will hand you a part that went obsolete last year with total confidence. Try both on the same part that caused the last argument, that is the whole evaluation.
I think we should test Parter on one of our existing BOMs. It can review every part for lower-cost form-fit-function alternatives, rather than limiting the analysis to the components we have time to check manually. It also flags emerging stock, lead-time, lifecycle, and compliance risks while the solution may still be as simple as choosing a different part number. Parter covers what we currently get from SiliconExpert, lifecycle, compliance, and risk monitoring, so this would be a swap, not an added subscription. Each recommendation includes a compatibility assessment and the reasoning behind it, so we would still review and approve every decision. The test itself is small: upload one BOM, evaluate what Parter finds, and decide whether the savings and risk coverage justify switching. Would you be open to trying it on one BOM?

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. Nothing to migrate and nothing to configure. Your first sweep comes back the same day.
