Part change notifications, answered

How do I get started with Z2's PCN Manager?

Getting started is free. Z2 offers a free trial of PCN Manager with no credit card required. You'll get full access to track PCNs, view documentation, set up alerts, and manage your workflow from day one, with no commitment needed.

Can I upload full BOMs into Z2's PCN Manager?

Yes. Z2's PCN Manager allows you to upload full Bills of Materials so you can instantly identify which of your parts are impacted by active PCNs. This gives you a complete picture of your exposure across your entire product portfolio.

How does Z2 deduplicate PCNs from multiple sources?

Z2 automatically collects PCNs from a wide range of supplier and industry sources, then runs them through our deduplication engine to eliminate redundant notifications. This means your team only sees what matters, with no noise and no duplicate alerts, just clean and actionable PCN data.

Can I receive PCN alerts and reports through Z2's API?

Yes. Z2 supports multiple delivery methods for PCN data including our web-based UI, email notifications, flat-file exports, and a fully supported API. You can also access pre-built reports on PCN type and category, or build custom reports tailored to your needs.

Can PCN Manager be used as a standalone module or does it require other Z2 products?

PCN Manager can be used as a standalone module, so you can start tracking and managing change notifications without adopting the rest of the Z2 platform. It also connects seamlessly with Z2's other modules, such as Part Risk Manager and BOM management, when you are ready to expand.

What is a Product Change Notification (PCN) and why does it matter?

A PCN is an official notice from a component manufacturer alerting customers to upcoming changes, such as material updates, process shifts, or end-of-life announcements. Unmanaged PCNs can halt production, trigger costly redesigns, and create supply chain gaps. Z2's PCN Manager helps you catch and act on them before they become problems.

What is the best tool for managing component end-of-life notifications?

Z2's PCN Manager monitors EOL notifications across your full BOM, flags high-priority changes, and gives you the lead time needed to source alternatives or redesign before a discontinuation disrupts production.

How can electronics manufacturers reduce supply chain disruptions from component changes?

The key is catching PCNs early. Z2 alerts your team the moment a relevant change notification is issued, so you can assess impact and resolve issues before they become production stoppages.
