Partner · Parts list and quoting tool
Manufacturers in Europe work a parts list in BOM Connector, and its DistiDirect link asks connected distributors for price, stock, packaging and lead time on every line. The connector is built already, so your answer is in that lookup.
A parts list arrives at a manufacturer in whatever shape the customer sent it. BOM Connector, from CircuitByte in Darmstadt and part of the znt-Richter Group since 2023, is the tool that takes it apart: it loads the file, cleans it up, checks the revision and prices it, and it sits against the manufacturer’s own business system rather than beside it. By the time a buyer is looking at a line, they are looking at it inside that tool.
DistiDirect is the part that concerns you. It is a live link out to connected distributors that returns price, stock, packaging and lead time for every line at once, and today it reaches the large catalogue houses. If you are not one of them, your name is not in the answer, whatever your stock actually says.
The buyer worked it in BOM Connector, so the lines arrive as lines. Nobody on your side opens an attachment and reads it into a spreadsheet.
Manufacturer part numbers and your own article numbers resolve against your catalog, with alternatives offered where you cannot cover the exact part.
The price that comes back is the one that customer is entitled to, with their agreed terms and scale breaks, not a list price they have to negotiate down from.
Price, stock, packaging and lead time appear against the line where the buyer is already working, next to everyone else who answered.
DistiDirect already reaches the large catalogue distributors. A regional distributor with the part in stock is invisible in that lookup for one reason only: nobody connected them. This is that connection.
Being reachable is not the same as being open. You choose which parts answer at all, whether a price goes out or only availability, and what stock buffer protects you from selling what you have promised elsewhere.
