PartsBox
What it is
PartsBox is a cloud service for companies building electronics, combining parts inventory, bill of materials (BOM) pricing, purchasing, production builds, and lot traceability. It tracks stock by location, price, and history, and handles quantities in units including pieces, length, weight, and area. Teams can import BOMs from KiCad, Altium, EAGLE, or CSV and price items using distributor offers, price breaks, order minimums and multiples, and currency conversion. Production records can cover a single build or multiple stages, including consumed stock and lots; additional tools include kitting, pick lists, attrition, and device serial numbers. Lot controls record quantities, locations, costs, and production usability, with forward and backward traceability and an audit trail. Teams share an organization database with role-based access and can export entered data as a JSON file. Integrations include KiCad, Altium, a public API, and Zapier. Plans range from a free, single-user Maker plan for personal projects to paid tiers, including Essentials at 49€/month when billed annually. The 14-day trial requires no credit card.
