What is PartBolt?
PartBolt is a cloud-based inventory management platform designed specifically for electronic components. It enables users to track parts, manage bills of materials (BOMs), and streamline purchasing from distributors. With features like fast search, datasheet integration, and project tracking, PartBolt serves as a central hub for component management, helping engineers and hobbyists reduce time spent searching for parts and focus on building projects.
The platform offers cloud synchronization for team collaboration, supports imports from Altium, KiCad, and CSV files, and provides detailed build history and lot control. PartBolt's pricing engine checks multiple distributors for optimal purchasing decisions, and all data can be exported as JSON for backup or integration. Plans range from a free tier to enterprise options with custom features.
