What I want is to be able to click a button in order to place an order for all the items on my Bill Of Materials! There's obviously a long way to go before that can actually happen.
1. Have a supplier content database with great models that can just be dropped into place
2. Track changes made to models after they've been inserted (what if I need to modify a standard part)
3. Have a really intuitive BOM, where you have the option to add spares, etc.
4. For custom parts, obviously it's harder. But you could have a system where suppliers will quote on the parts that you've designed. Or leave it as "Order standard parts"

You could drag a part in from McMaster and it's automatically added to the BOM. Might even get the instance count right and tell you how many you need.
Gotta love the cloud, it's going change everything.
