Building Smarter Automotive Tools with AI-Powered BOM Validation
How Mohara partnered with Quick Release to develop a next-generation platform that helps engineers validate complex product data faster, earlier, and more accurately.
Client Background
Quick Release is a global consultancy specialising in Product Data Management (PDM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Founded in 2003, the company has grown to 350+ experts across seven countries with more than 4 million hours of PDM experience. They have supported over 150 complex product launches for some of the world's leading automotive firms. Their next challenge: automating BOM (Bill of Materials) validation, where even small errors can have costly consequences.
The Challenge
In automotive manufacturing, the BOM is more than a spreadsheet, it's the backbone of production. Any inaccuracies risk downstream procurement delays, compliance failures, or full-blown production errors. Despite years of experience, engineers were still spending too much time combing through documentation manually. With data volumes growing and vehicle systems becoming more complex, Quick Release saw an opportunity to embed AI into their processes.
The Solution
Django Backend with Excel Add-In Interface
custom-built for easy integration with existing engineering use cases.
AI Integration
OpenAI models via the Langchain framework to interpret BOM data and highlight anomalies.
Deeper Insight
AI analysis of natural language product specifications and engineering diagrams to surface previously undetected issues.
Human-in-the-Loop Workflows
engineers remained in control while repetitive review tasks were reduced.
Enterprise-Grade Security
scalable architecture designed for global deployment across regulated industries.
Results
Significant reduction in manual review time for large BOMs
Improved accuracy, flagging issues that might otherwise be missed in dense documentation
Standardised validation practices across dispersed engineering teams
A foundation for future AI-driven enhancements in PDM and PLM workflows
Why Mohara
Quick Release needed a partner who could bridge the gap between AI innovation and enterprise-scale engineering systems. Mohara provided the product thinking, engineering expertise, and technical delivery to bring their vision to life, creating a scalable platform that keeps them ahead in a fast-moving industry.
