As the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor™ for the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, Mouser Electronics empowers engineers and buyers to choose and buy with confidence.

Mouser announced on the 20th that FORTE, a comprehensive BOM (Bill of Materials) management tool, helps users increase order accuracy and save time.

FORTE offers an industry-leading Risk Evaluator, powered by a unique relevance engine that analyzes part numbers and descriptions to suggest the best options to customers. Available free to all My Mouser users, this tool evaluates millions of interactions between purchasing professionals and engineers. FORTE also reduces design and product lifecycle risk by quickly checking part numbers, product availability, and unit prices, and recommending alternative products.

Mouser continually improves its tools to help buyers and engineers manage specifications and purchasing. FORTE was developed from a BOM tool to a tool that purchasing professionals need. Leveraging FORTE, customers can receive intelligent advice when searching for obsolete parts or partial part numbers. This tool can help find more accurate part matches and help customers understand the reliability and risk of each part.

FORTE offers expanded customization, enhanced intelligence, and improved part matching reliability, making the BOM creation process faster, easier to use, and more shareable. This highly intelligent tool remembers your preferences, spreadsheet formats, unique naming, and previous order history. FORTE also offers legacy features such as translations for all Mouser-supported languages, support for the most common file formats, real-time product pricing and availability, and easy purchasing directly from the BOM.
