Proactively manage your electronic supply chain with data-backed intelligence at the part and BOM level, across the full hierarchy, so you prevent costly surprises before they happen.
The Challenge
Lifecycle status, shortages, and changes each live in their own tool on their own schedule. By the time a risk reaches the engineer who can act, the cheapest options have often already closed.
The Data Layer
Every part on your BOM is matched against the same component and supplier data that powers the rest of the Z2 platform, so risk is real, not guessed.
Obsolescence
Z2 brings predictive intelligence and real-time alerts to every part on your BOM, watching lifecycle status, PCNs, and end-of-life risk together. NRND and EOL parts surface with the time you need to plan a last-time-buy or qualify a replacement.
Part Discovery
Compare part families side by side on specs, compliance, country of origin, lead times, and inventory across suppliers. When a part tightens, you already know which equivalent ships sooner and from where, instead of starting the search from scratch.
Multi-Sourcing
Z2 identifies cross-compatible parts and verified alternates for the components on your BOM, so a single shortage no longer stalls a build. Each alternate carries a match type, so sourcing knows what is a true drop-in and what needs a second look.
PCN Monitoring
Z2 automatically captures product change notices and responds to the changes that affect your parts. It also detects quiet changes a supplier never issues a formal PCN for: datasheet revisions, marking and packaging swaps, and site moves.
Compliance
Retrieve RoHS, REACH, and conflict-minerals status for every part on the same record as its lifecycle and supply risk. A component that is going obsolete and falling out of compliance shows up in one place, not across three separate tools.
How it works
Z2 runs the path from lifecycle signal to resolved risk, so your team works decisions instead of chasing parts one at a time.
Who it's for
Z2 gives each team the slice of lifecycle intelligence it needs to act early.
See where lifecycle and availability risk concentrates across the BOM, and move on it before a single obsolete part holds up a build.
Catch NRND and EOL parts during design, with verified alternates and compliance status already attached, so a respin is planned rather than forced.
Go into every buy with cross-compatible alternates, lead times, and inventory in hand, so a shortage becomes a decision instead of a scramble.
Common Questions
It is the practice of tracking each electronic component through its commercial life, from active to NRND to end-of-life to obsolete, and acting on the risk before it disrupts production. Z2 does this at both the part and BOM level, combining lifecycle status, PCNs, availability, and compliance in one view.
Z2 watches every part on the BOM and its alternates as lifecycle status, availability, and compliance shift. It scores the BOM, surfaces the parts that threaten the build, and routes a prioritized alert to the right owner in time to plan a last-time-buy or qualify a replacement.
From manufacturer feeds, distributor data, supplier portals, and Z2’s own monitoring across 500+ data sources, covering 1B+ components and 1M+ supplier profiles in 180+ countries. Lifecycle status, EOL forecasts, and PCNs are matched to the parts on your BOM.
Yes. Z2 captures formal product change notices and also detects undeclared changes that suppliers do not always issue a PCN for, such as datasheet revisions, marking or packaging changes, and quiet site moves, so a change to your part does not slip past unnoticed.
Yes. RoHS, REACH, and conflict-minerals status sit alongside lifecycle and supply risk on the same part and BOM record, so a part that is going obsolete or non-compliant surfaces in one place instead of across separate tools.
