★★★★★ 9/10 NPS Score 9/10 customers would recommend Z2 to a peer. Source: Z2 Customer Satisfaction Survey
Search, score, and monitor every part on one platform, so obsolescence, shortages, and compliance gaps surface before they reach your build.
Component and sourcing teams at leading OEMs run on Z2
Z2 has been a valuable tool allowing our organization to avoid supply driven product redesigns and, alternatively, massive inventory over-purchasing. Manually gathering and analyzing market data is incredibly labor intensive. Z2 has allowed our team to react quickly and regularly to early warning signs.
A BOM has thousands of lines. Lifecycle status, compliance, availability, and supplier health each live somewhere else, so risk surfaces only after a part is gone.
| Task | Without Z2 | With Z2 |
|---|---|---|
| Obsolescence warning | You learn a part is gone when stock runs out | Forecasted end-of-life flagged 12-24 months out |
| Finding a cross | Weeks searching datasheets and distributor sites | Pre-mapped A/B/C crosses by form, fit, function |
| BOM risk picture | Manual aggregation across five data sources | One rolled-up BOM health score, every line scored |
Every part carries one risk score built from six factors. These roll up into an aggregate BOM health view across lifecycle, compliance, availability, and supplier dimensions.
| Capability | All-in-one | Spreadsheets & email | Basic part-search |
|---|---|---|---|
| Six-factor risk score per part | Yes | No | No |
| Rolled-up BOM health score | Yes | No | No |
| End-of-life forecast, 90%+ accuracy | Yes | No | Partial |
| Continuous PCN/PDN alerts | Yes | No | Partial |
| Cross-reference with risk filters | Yes | No | Partial |
| Per-part RoHS, REACH, PFAS status | Yes | Partial | Partial |
| Supplier risk behind each part | Yes | No | No |
| Single- vs. sole-source detection | Yes | Partial | No |
| Tariff and country-of-origin exposure | Yes | Partial | No |
Lifecycle forecast
Roughly 30% of component discontinuations never get a product change notification, so engineers find out when stock runs out. Z2 forecasts end-of-life with 90%+ historical accuracy using a proprietary Z2 algorithm, and flags any part within 12-24 months of its forecasted end-of-life. That window is enough to plan a last-time-buy or qualify a cross before the line stops.
Cross-reference
When a part goes NRND or end-of-life, Z2 searches hundreds of millions of parts for form, fit, and function matches and classifies each as A, B, or C by how closely it drops in. Every cross is flagged for minor, moderate, or major differences and carries its own risk score, so you compare replacements on lifecycle, compliance, and availability, not just specs.
BOM health
Upload a BOM and Z2 scrubs and normalizes the MPNs, matches them to the component database, and returns a risk dashboard for the whole list. Each line gets its six-factor score, and the BOM rolls up into a single health view across lifecycle, compliance, availability, and supplier risk. Continuous PCN/PDN alerts keep the picture current as parts change.
Everything on this page is one tool: Part Risk Manager. It scores every part on your BOM across six risk factors, forecasts end-of-life, maps qualified crosses, and keeps the whole list monitored with continuous PCN/PDN alerts.
Get Started Free
Bring in a BOM from CSV, Excel, or your PLM. Z2 scrubs and normalizes the MPNs and matches them to the component database.
Every line gets a six-factor risk score and rolls up into one BOM health view. Cross-reference the at-risk lines from the same screen.
Run the mitigation workflow, export canned or custom reports, and let continuous PCN/PDN alerts flag changes going forward.
Six factors: lifecycle status and forecast, regulatory compliance, sourcing concentration, technology generation, market availability, and supplier risk. They combine into one score per part and roll up into an aggregate BOM health view across lifecycle, compliance, availability, and supplier dimensions.
The lifecycle forecast has 90%+ historical accuracy. It is proprietary to Z2, validated against real end-of-life outcomes and refined continuously. Parts within 12-24 months of forecasted end-of-life are flagged so you have time to act.
Z2 searches hundreds of millions of parts for form, fit, and function matches and classifies each as A, B, or C by how closely it drops in. Every candidate is tagged for minor, moderate, or major differences and carries its own risk score, so you compare replacements on risk, not just specs.
Per-part RoHS, REACH including SVHCs, PFAS, TSCA, POPs, UK REACH, and conflict minerals status, plus tariff and trade signals like Section 301, HTS codes, and country of origin. Noncompliant lines and substances requiring reporting are flagged in the BOM report.
Upload from CSV, Excel, or your PLM. Z2 scrubs and normalizes the MPNs, matches them against a database of 1B+ components, and returns the risk dashboard. You can then cross-reference at-risk lines and export reports.
Part Risk Manager draws on the same data that powers risk intelligence across the whole platform.
