You found out too late
The average OEM learns about a component EOL 6 months before it hits. Qualifying an alternate takes 12–18 months. That gap costs millions.
Component intelligence for hardware OEMs · San Francisco
Never be blindsided by a component shortage, EOL, or tariff change again.
Prokuro monitors every component in your BOM, flagging EOL risk, tariff exposure, and supplier concentration before they stop your production line. Built by engineers who did this at Cisco.
The problems that shut lines down
Your BOM is a geopolitical risk map
35–60% of hardware BOMs have components sourced from regions with active tariff or export control exposure. Most teams don't know which ones.
Your CM won't tell you until it's too late
Contract manufacturers manage hundreds of clients. Allocation issues, lead time blowouts, and quality escapes reach you last. Prokuro puts you first.
How it works
1
Upload your BOM
CSV or Excel. We extract every MPN, manufacturer, and quantity. Takes 60 seconds.
2
We enrich every line item
Octopart live data, HTS tariff codes, US Entity List, EOL databases, and LLM-powered geopolitical risk analysis. Run automatically across every component.
3
Get your risk report
A prioritized list of components that need attention, why they're risky, and what to do about it. Delivered as a PDF report.
Key features
EOL Early Warning
We flag components approaching end-of-life 12–18 months out, with enough runway to qualify an alternate before your redesign becomes an emergency.
Tariff & Trade Exposure
We map every component to its HTS code and flag tariff rate changes, Section 301 exposure, and Entity List restrictions the day they change.
Supplier Concentration Risk
Single-source dependencies, China concentration, and TSMC-dependent components scored and flagged before they become leverage someone else holds over you.
Alternate Component Engine
When we flag a risk, we suggest pin-compatible alternates with live Octopart availability data. Not just a warning, but a path forward.
Who it's for
Best fit
- Hardware OEMs with $50M–$500M in revenue
- Products with 3–10 year lifespans (networking, industrial, medical-adjacent)
- Teams outsourcing manufacturing to contract manufacturers
- Companies that got caught in the 2021–2022 chip shortage
- Procurement teams still running BOM risk on spreadsheets and gut instinct
Not a fit if...
- You're building consumer hardware with 1-year product cycles
- You have a 20-person supply chain team and internal ML capabilities
- You're pre-product and don't have a real BOM yet
"One missed EOL on a 7-year product means 18 months of emergency redesign. One tariff change can blow up your COGS by 8–15%. Prokuro costs less than either mistake."
We built this system internally at Cisco, tracking component performance across tens of thousands of production units at the world's largest contract manufacturers. Now we're making it available to every hardware team.
