What customers say

Z2 lets our team react quickly to early warning signs, avoiding product redesigns and inventory over-purchasing.
James Slider Chief Executive Officer, PDW
Z2 touches all aspects of the component, from design to manufacturing. Each department saves so much time using the platform.
Adam Doolittle Component Engineer, QSC
A hundred percent. This would be helpful for all semiconductor-based organizations — they should all use this tool.

Obsolescence management, answered

How accurate is Z2's end-of-life forecasting?

Z2's lifecycle forecasting uses proprietary algorithms validated against real end-of-life outcomes and delivers 90%+ historical accuracy. That lets you predict component sunsets and diminishing manufacturing sources before they reach production. You design and plan around real projections, not guesses.

Can Z2 help me design for longevity from the start?

Yes. With data on 1B+ components, you can select parts that have stable long-term availability at the design stage. Choosing healthier components up front reduces costly redesigns later and extends the product's usable life.

How does Z2 support DMSMS mitigation?

Z2 flags diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages early, so you can act before a sole source dries up. Cross-referencing then identifies drop-in alternatives for high-risk or obsolete parts. This is built for long-lifecycle programs where a part has to stay sourceable for years.

Can I monitor obsolescence across all my BOMs at once?

Yes. Upload unlimited BOMs with version histories and Z2 scores every part for obsolescence, multi-sourcing, and availability. Proactive alerts notify you the moment lifecycle status or availability changes on any part you track.

How does this differ from Z2's obsolescence management software page?

Both run on the same component data and forecasting engine. This view emphasizes designing for longevity and DMSMS mitigation for long-lifecycle and defense-style programs, where part availability has to hold for many years. The capabilities, from lifecycle forecasting to cross-referencing, are the same.
