WNIE: TekPulse Launches BOM Risk Intelligence Platform

Coverage in What's New In Electronics (WNIE) — TekPulse's platform analyses a bill of materials for compliance, market, technical, geopolitical, and environmental risk in a single pass.

TekPulse has launched a BOM Risk Intelligence platform that lets electronics teams analyse a bill of materials for compliance, market, technical, geopolitical, and environmental risk in a single pass — before a design freezes and before parts are ordered.

The platform requires no installation and runs entirely in the browser. BOMs are uploaded as CSV or Excel files; a column-mapping wizard handles any format. Within seconds, procurement managers and hardware engineers receive a structured risk report with actionable recommendations per component.

Key capabilities

• Automated five-dimension risk scoring per component
• EU dual-use and US BIS Entity List flagging for scrutinised manufacturers
• US Section 301 tariff calculation (up to 145%) per component and source country
• Three-tier supply-chain concentration analysis (HQ / Wafer Fab / Assembly & Test)
• Automated EOL and NRND detection via authorized-distributor APIs
• Exportable PDF and Excel risk reports
• Slack and email alerts, and an Enterprise REST API

How the scoring works

TekPulse evaluates each uploaded BOM across five weighted risk dimensions and produces one composite score (0–100) per component, plus a BOM-level rollup and a severity badge:

• <strong>Regulatory</strong> — RoHS 2 and REACH SVHC compliance status per component
• <strong>Market</strong> — component availability and manufacturer lead times
• <strong>Technical</strong> — manufacturing lifecycle status such as EOL (End of Life) and NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs)
• <strong>Geopolitical</strong> — country-of-origin, tariff exposure, and sanctions screening
• <strong>Environmental</strong> — embodied carbon and hazardous-material flags

Lifecycle and availability signals are drawn from authorized-distributor APIs and manufacturer product change notices, covering more than 1,800 tracked manufacturers.

Availability and pricing

TekPulse is available now at tekpulse.org. A free plan supports 100-component BOMs on the Regulatory dimension with no credit card required; paid plans start at €199/month. Professional and Enterprise plans serve teams and OEM/EMS organisations.

Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM under EU data residency, in line with GDPR.
