A Smarter Procurement Solution for
Engineers

Engineers are vital to specifying the right components, but managing BOMs, cross-referencing parts, and tracking availability across vendor catalogs is slow and error-prone.

Spec With Confidence Across Every Catalog

Controls engineers live in the gap between the design and the parts list: hunting exact part numbers across PDF catalogs and vendor sites, checking whether the spec’d sensor is even available, and rebuilding BOMs when a component changes mid-project.

Peregrin puts millions of parts from all your suppliers behind one search, with real specs, live availability, and your pricing. BOMs upload and validate automatically, alternates compare side by side, and the handoff to purchasing is a workflow instead of a spreadsheet email.

  • One search across every supplier catalog
  • Exact part and specification matching
  • BOM upload with 90–95% automatic match rates

Feature Spotlight

Unified Supplier Catalogs

Access millions of parts from all your vendors in one searchable catalog, pre-loaded with products from the controls manufacturers you already trust, with your tenant-specific pricing applied automatically.

  • Search across all vendors in one place
  • Exact part and spec matches, with alternates side by side
  • Tenant-specific pricing, not list prices
5–10 vendor portals replaced with one
What You Get

Make Engineering Procurement Smarter & Faster

Peregrin eliminates the catalog-hopping and BOM rework that eat engineering hours, so specs are right the first time.

Unified Catalog Search

Search millions of parts across every vendor in one place (by part number, description, or spec) with tenant pricing applied automatically.

BOM Upload & Validation

Upload Bidtracer, Excel, or CSV BOMs and Peregrin matches parts across your suppliers instantly, flagging the lines that need a human look.

Alternates & Cross-Referencing

Compare equivalent components across vendors (pricing, stock, and source), so substitutions are engineering decisions, not guesses.

Live Pricing & Availability

See current price and stock on every line while you spec, with freshness indicators showing exactly how current each number is.

AI Marketplace Sourcing

Find long-tail items across marketplace suppliers like Grainger and Home Depot, with your contracted pricing on every match.

Estimating & ERP Integration

Your BOM flows from design through purchasing without re-entry, connected to the estimating and ERP tools you run. If an integration is missing, we build it with you at no cost.

Challenges

Solving the Biggest Procurement Challenges for Engineers

Finding the right part with exact specifications takes forever

Peregrin puts every supplier catalog behind one search with full part data. Search by part number, description, or spec and get exact matches, plus the vendors that carry them and what each charges you.

BOM errors trigger sourcing rework downstream

Automatic matching validates your BOM against real supplier catalogs at upload time. Discontinued numbers, ambiguous lines, and unmatchable parts surface immediately, while they’re still cheap to fix.

Spec’d parts turn out to be unavailable or discontinued

Live availability appears alongside every part while you spec. When a component is short or gone, side-by-side alternates from other vendors keep the design moving without a redesign.

Prices change between design and purchase

Because your BOM lives in the same platform purchasing buys from, pricing stays current from spec through PO. No stale numbers baked into the design package.

Handoffs between engineering and purchasing lose information

The BOM you build in Peregrin is the same structured data purchasing turns into requisitions and POs. No spreadsheet exports, no transcription, no "which revision is this?"

Is This You?

Who Uses Peregrin?

  • Build and maintain BOMs for projects and submittals
  • Need real availability data while designing
  • Cross-reference alternates when parts are short
  • Are tired of PDF catalogs and portal-hopping
  • Want a clean handoff from BOM to purchase order
