What PartsBox is

PartsBox manages electronic parts inventory and the work of building electronics, including BOM pricing, purchasing, production builds, and lot traceability. It tracks stock, storage locations, prices, and history, with quantities measured in units such as pieces, length, weight, and area. Teams can import BOMs from KiCad, Altium, EAGLE, or CSV; line pricing accounts for distributor offers, price breaks, minimum order quantities, order multiples, and currency conversion. Builds can be recorded in one pass or stages, with stock and lots consumed tracked, alongside attrition, kitting, pick lists, and device serial numbers. Lot control covers quantities, locations, costs, and production usability, with forward and backward traceability and an audit trail. Organizations share a database with role-based access, and can export entered data as a single JSON file. Integrations include KiCad, Altium, a public API, and Zapier. The cloud service has web and API access. The free Maker plan is for one user and personal projects; paid plans start at 49€/month when billed annually.
