Congrats on the launch Usama. We're new to hardware development, but our hardware engineer has been using Altium 360, and I've been using Eagle for parts of the project. Altium seems like a VERY capable tool. I don't know about it's version control, but commenting , BOMs, component library, it has all of that stuff. We're based in Sydney, Australia, and I know Altium has an office here, so perhaps that's why we hear about Altium so much, but I'm curious what is the big differentiator between InventHub and Altium, as it seems they have the same features you list. |

Definitely, Altium is a very capable tool for electronics design. I totally agree the features like commenting, BOMs, component library is in Altium 365.
With regards to differentiator, first being we support same tools and utilities for all formats (Eagle, Altium, KiCAD, PADS, OrCAD and Allegro). The Altium 365 is tied to just their ecosystem is specific to just managing single file PCB projects. Whereas, with inventhub you have flexibility to manage data however you want, it let you go beyond storing designs or components or visualizing in the web (e.g. adding specs documentation, instruction manuals in the project, or attaching more data to components like your internal stock for reference)
- Inventhub let you have consistency in the process of development and gives you a single space to manage all kind of data.
- Secondly, its all in the cloud, today it gives you single source to maintain data (for all ECADS). With inter-portability between formats we take reusability of trusted designs and assets a step ahead.
- With our version control the collaboration is effective and it coupled with the the utilizes let's you focus on just the design and development vs. figuring out how to configure.
Do let me know if this answers your question and give you the understanding of differentiating factor. I would be happy to jump on a call to walk you through the platform with use-case as well.
