Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started with Z2Data's PCN Manager?

Getting started is free. Z2Data 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 — no commitment needed.

Can I upload full BOMs into Z2Data's PCN Manager?

Yes. Z2Data'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 Z2Data deduplicate PCNs from multiple sources?

Z2Data 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 — no noise, no duplicate alerts, just clean and actionable PCN data.

Can I receive PCN alerts and reports through Z2Data's API?

Yes. Z2Data 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 Z2Data products?

Supplier risk management tools within SCRM software continuously assess supplier performance, financial stability, and compliance to reduce dependency on high-risk suppliers.

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. Z2Data'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

Z2Data'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. Z2Data alerts your team the moment a relevant change notification is issued, so you can assess impact and resolve issues before they become production stoppages.
