Z2's intelligence platform covers 1B+ electronic components with comprehensive lifecycle, compliance, sourcing, and supplier risk data. Upload any BOM and score every part in minutes across six risk dimensions: obsolescence, availability, regulations, supplier health, and more.
Tens of thousands of components are discontinued each year.
By the time a distributor emails you, the last-time-buy window may already be closing, and your options narrow to a secondary market buy at 10–100x normal price.

Lifecycle Intelligence
Forecast end-of-life 12–36 months before the announcement hits.
Z2's lifecycle forecasting algorithm detects production volume reductions, distributor inventory drawdowns, and PCN frequency changes. These signals predict lifecycle transitions months before manufacturers make them official. Documented 90%+ accuracy.
Proactive Alerts
The right signal, routed to the team that acts on it.
An alert that goes to everyone is acted on by no one. Z2 routes lifecycle changes, PCN publications, shortage signals, and lead time spikes to the specific role (engineering, procurement, or compliance) based on which team needs to respond.

Obsolescence Management
Don't miss the last-time-buy window.
A missed LTB deadline forces secondary-market buys at 10–100x normal price or a costly redesign. Z2 tracks countdown timers on every LTB-affected part in your BOM and calculates recommended buy quantities from your demand forecast, so your team executes the purchase before the window closes.

Part Search & Discovery
Work with your numbering schema.
Your engineering team uses internal part numbers. Your BOM files use internal part numbers. Z2 lets you map those internal numbers to MPNs, so every search and BOM analysis function works with the numbers your team already knows. No translation layer, no confusion, no dropped context when handing a part between teams.

How It Works
From BOM upload to continuous risk intelligence.
Three steps to get every component in your product portfolio under active monitoring. No manual setup, no templates, no data prep.
Upload your BOM or connect your parts library
Import your BOM, approved vendor list, or component library as a spreadsheet, CSV, or direct ERP connection. Z2 auto-detects columns and maps every MPN to our database. No template required.
Every part scored across six risk dimensions
Z2 cross-references each MPN against 1B+ component records: lifecycle status, inventory, lead time, PCN history, supplier risk, and geopolitical exposure. Composite risk scores in minutes.
Alerts route to the right person before it's urgent
Z2 monitors your components 24/7. When anything changes (an obsolescence forecast, PCN, lead time spike, or inventory drop), the alert goes to the team that needs to act on it, before it reaches a production deadline.
Who It's For
One platform. Every team that owns part risk.
Part Risk Manager is used by component engineering, strategic sourcing, and compliance teams, often all three, operating from the same risk scores and the same data.
Component & Design Engineering
Parts built to last.
Choosing a component for NPI means committing to its availability 2–5 years from now. Z2 tells you whether a part will survive the product's commercial lifecycle before it gets locked into a design.
Sourcing & Supply Chain
See EOL coming.
You're accountable when production stops. Most discontinuation notices arrive too late to execute a mitigation strategy. Z2 surfaces the signal 12–36 months early, so you open LTB positions and qualify alternates on your schedule, not the manufacturer's.
Compliance & Regulatory Affairs
Compliance stays covered.
Every time a component transitions to NRND or end-of-life, your RoHS, REACH, and PFAS coverage may be at risk. Z2 maps lifecycle events to compliance status automatically, so a part swap never creates a hidden compliance gap.
Z2's Part Risk Manager gave me faster and more reliable access to critical component specifications: compliance status, market availability, and lifecycle. Engineers get information in minutes instead of days and can react before a risk becomes a shortage.

How accurate is Z2's lifecycle forecasting?
Z2's lifecycle forecasting algorithm has maintained over 90% historical accuracy. It is based on the academically validated CALCE (Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering) methodology from the University of Maryland, continuously enhanced with Z2's own research and market data. No competitor has a comparable documented track record.
Is my BOM data secure?
Yes. Z2 is SOC 2 Type I and Type II certified and undergoes multiple independent penetration tests annually. Your BOM data is encrypted at rest and in transit. We do not share, sell, or use customer BOM data to train models or enrich third-party datasets.
Can we access component data via API?
Yes. All component data, lifecycle status, risk scores, and BOM analysis results are available via Z2's REST API. Data is also exportable in CSV and Excel formats for integration with your PLM, ERP, or internal toolchain. Enterprise-volume rate limits are available; contact sales for details.
Can Part Risk Manager be used standalone without other Z2 products?
Yes. Each Z2 module is a complete standalone product. Start with Part Risk Manager and add Compliance Manager, Supply Chain Watch, or Sub-Tier Intelligence as your program matures. Because all modules share the same underlying data layer, every product you add multiplies the intelligence of the ones already in use.
