MapleBOM

Canadian sourcing

Find opportunities to replace foreign components with Canadian suppliers.

MapleBOM identifies the economically important foreign dependencies in your bill of materials — which components, which suppliers, and how much you spend on them each year — so a sourcing search starts from evidence instead of instinct.

See foreign dependencies Analyze my BOM

MapleBOM does not match components to Canadian suppliers, and it will never invent a supplier match. It produces the shortlist a sourcing search starts from: foreign-origin components ranked by what you spend on them.

BOM uploads are analyzed transiently in memory and are not retained. How this works

The problem

Reshoring starts with a list nobody has.

The instinct to source closer to home is easy. Acting on it needs specifics: which lines are actually imported, which are worth the switching cost, and which suppliers hold enough of your spend to be worth a conversation. That list rarely exists in one place.

01

Value, not volume, decides where to start

The thousand cheap imported fasteners are not the opportunity. Four assemblies might be.

02

Supplier concentration shapes the options

If most foreign content arrives through three suppliers, the sourcing conversation is with those three.

03

Half the list may be unverified

Components with no recorded origin cannot be counted as imported or domestic. They have to be resolved before the list is real.

The core output

The list you cannot build yet.

Components with no established origin cannot be sorted into domestic or imported. MapleBOM ranks them by spend so you know which ones are worth resolving first.

In the sample analysis, 480 components have no established country of origin — but 10 supplier conversations would account for 80% of that exposure.

What you get

A prioritized exposure view of one product, in about ten seconds.

  1. Find the focus rows

    Components ranked by covered annual spend, with the evidence and next fact behind each priority.

  2. Separate the evidence

    Reported origin and supplier country shown as separate views, with Unknown / Unverified kept visible instead of inferred.

  3. Leave with a worklist

    Missing economic inputs, supplier concentration and downloadable rows make the next conversation finite.

What MapleBOM will not do

Provenance is only useful if it is true. These are the rules the analysis follows, without exception:

  • We never infer country of origin from a supplier, manufacturer, distributor or company nationality. Buying a part from a Canadian distributor does not make it Canadian.
  • Anything the file does not establish is reported as Unknown / Unverified, with the reason it is unresolved.
  • Country values we cannot interpret are surfaced, not silently dropped or guessed.
  • V0 makes no CUSMA, tariff, Canadian-content or Buy Canadian determination. Those require rules and evidence this tool does not yet have.
  • Facts you supplied, figures we calculated, and information nobody has are labelled separately throughout.

These capabilities are not built. The current product is the Supply Chain Exposure analysis above.

Private beta

Canadian supplier alternatives

Discover foreign components that may have Canadian manufacturing or sourcing alternatives.

Find Canadian suppliers → Private beta

Tariff exposure

Understand which components and purchasing categories may be affected by changing tariffs.

Calculate tariff exposure → Private beta

Canadian content and CUSMA

Identify documentation gaps and the components that would need deeper qualification.

Analyze Canadian content → Private beta

Resolving unverified origins

Track evidence and supplier attestations for the components nobody can currently vouch for.

None of these are built. Clicking one tells us which capability you want, not what you would get back — no figure anywhere else in MapleBOM depends on one that does not exist. The current report remains the Supply Chain Exposure analysis shown above.

Built in Canada

An independent project.

MapleBOM is built by Tyson Hamilton, a Canadian software engineer building better trade and supply-chain tools for Canadian manufacturers.

It is early, and deliberately narrow: it reports what your bill of materials establishes, and says plainly what it does not.
