Altium 365 helps electronics teams manage designs and BOMs, understand where parts are used, and review lifecycle, compliance, supplier, and sourcing information.
PCNshark manages what happens when an actual supplier PCN, PDN, EOL, or product-change document arrives: extract and verify the affected parts and dates, identify BOM exposure, assign ownership, and drive the response to closure.
Available on Starter and Team. A payment method is required.
PCNshark complements Altium 365. It does not replace PCB design, managed BOMs, parts-used visibility, lifecycle data, compliance information, supplier data, BOM releases, or sourcing analysis.
No native Altium 365 integration is implied. PCNshark works from the BOM files you upload and the notices you receive; there is no automatic sync with Altium.
Seeing that a part is EOL, NRND, obsolete, or otherwise risky is an important signal. The supplier document may contain additional information required for action:
PCNshark keeps that source document, extracted information, BOM impact, owners, and final response connected.
Altium 365 helps teams understand the components used in their designs. PCNshark turns the supplier notice affecting those components into an owned operational response. These are adjacent stages, not the same job.
Design and BOM context for the components you use
Operational response to a specific supplier notice
Design/project context, managed BOMs, parts in use
Receive the supplier document; extract MPNs and dates
Lifecycle and sourcing visibility, BOM releases and comparison
Human verification of the actual notice contents
Supplier and compliance data for design decisions
Notice-to-BOM matching and product exposure
Within the design environment
Owner, deadline, status, and disposition for the response
Use Altium 365 to understand the components in your designs; use PCNshark to manage the supplier notice affecting them.
Record acceptance and disposition
Take the reviewed impact into your PLM/change process
PCNshark does not connect to Altium 365. It works from the BOM files you upload and the notices you receive, and a person takes the reviewed impact into whatever change or quality process you use.
An illustrative product change notification with a supplier qualification report. Sample data — not a screenshot of a native integration.
Illustrative example. Customer, supplier, product, and BOM information has been replaced. Not every notice requires a design change; PCNshark still preserves the review and disposition.

Notice and disposition together
PCNshark does not replace Altium's design, managed-BOM, lifecycle, compliance, or sourcing capabilities. It manages the response to the supplier notice.
PCNshark currently works alongside Altium 365 rather than acting as a native Altium integration.
Teams can upload supported BOM files to PCNshark, process supplier notices, identify notice-specific BOM impact, and reference the resulting record during their Altium, PLM, quality, or change process.
PCNshark does not read from or write to Altium 365. There is no API sync today.
PCNshark complements these by managing the response to the actual supplier notice.
Keep using Altium 365 to design and understand your BOMs. Let PCNshark manage the supplier notices that affect them: extract the affected parts and dates, match them to your BOMs, assign owners, and preserve the disposition.
