myOBO: mobile project and product reference for electrical pros
myOBO, from OBO Bettermann Holding GmbH & Co. KG, is a mobile assistant for electrical installation planning and field documentation. The app connects on-site decision-making with manufacturer data, letting professionals reference product specifications, drawings, and project lists from a phone. It emphasizes fast product lookup, project organization and export-ready reporting. Intended for electrical installers, planners, engineers and wholesalers, the developer supplies the reference data from its product library.
Keeps manufacturer documentation accessible on the jobsite
myOBO provides offline access to OBO Bettermann product catalogs so you can consult technical information without a network connection. The app pairs downloaded catalog content with an integrated scanner that opens specific assets, including:
- drawings
- technical data sheets
- assembly instructions
- certificates
Supports project assembly and procurement-ready outputs
Project tools generate procurement lists inside the app: you can create, edit and organise multiple installation projects and produce an automatic bill of materials for each job. Those lists export to Excel and CSV formats for reporting or ordering. The app also transfers BOMs into participating wholesalers' shopping baskets using the Elbridge interface, connecting specification work to procurement workflows.
Designed for fast product lookup and cross-device continuity
Barcode and QR scanning speeds identification of components and immediately opens matching documentation. Synchronization between the mobile app and the web-based myOBO service area lets a project started on one device be continued on another. The app is distributed on Android, with an iOS version also available, and provides direct messaging or phone channels to OBO customer service from inside the tool.
Suited to teams tied to OBO's product ecosystem
The app aligns closely with OBO's manufacturing catalogue, which benefits installers and wholesalers who use OBO components regularly. Integration via Elbridge favours wholesalers participating in that network. Given the developer's role as a manufacturer, the tool is strongest when professionals need manufacturer-accurate data and procurement links rather than vendor-agnostic component searching.
Recommended for electrical professionals embedded in OBO workflows
myOBO is a practical option for electrical installers, planners and wholesalers who require manufacturer-aligned documentation and project continuity between field and office. It rewards teams that rely on OBO products and participating wholesalers, while organisations seeking a vendor-agnostic parts database or minimal procurement integration may find its scope narrower. The app performs well within the manufacturer-focused workflow it targets.
