BOM Compare

BOM comparison tool for spreadsheet exports.

Partrek compares exported BOM spreadsheets so teams can see what changed before purchasing, staging, prefab, or handoff.

What a BOM comparison tool should do

A useful BOM comparison tool compares two exported material spreadsheets by part number, quantity, unit, description, and optional breakdown. It should show added rows, removed rows, quantity changes, unchanged rows, duplicates, and rows needing review.

When to use it

Use it when a revised BOM, Revit schedule, fabrication export, takeoff, or buy list arrives and the team needs to know what changed before acting on the file.

Why exported spreadsheets matter

Many teams cannot replace their source system. Partrek sits on top of the CSV or XLSX exports they already use, then creates a clean report without rebuilding the comparison in Excel.

What the output should include

The best output is a decision-ready report: changed rows first, source-row context, rows needing review, selected breakdown scope, and clear disclaimers about user-provided data.
