Pros
This, in turn, helps us to make better design changes to reduce costs.
Overall Partsbox is a very positive addition to our design and manufacturing workflow. It allows us to be quicker, more efficient, more organized and save money while building a race car.
Cons
No option to pay for a reasonable monthly hobbyist tier.
The most disconcerting feature is that the user has no direct access to the database. No way to mass load the data yourself.
"Fully featured service, great for hobbyists"
Pros: - Free version is feature rich, good enough for a beginner hobbyist - Integration with parts search and tagging system - Team oriented, I can see this being useful for teams in makerspaces and similar
Cons: - No option to pay for a reasonable monthly hobbyist tier - Interface can improve more, eg. non grid configuration for storage or storage grouping
"Great stock management software for electronics"
Overall: Until I found PartsBox, we used Excel spreadsheets. These spreadsheets were compiled for each build, but it was extremely difficult to get an overall idea of stock counts. Many parts are identical across different products and as a result some of our components are "over-stocked". With PartsBox we get a much better idea of stock and stock value. Also costing of products are much easier. We are also contract manufacturers/designers. Sometimes clients buy the components and we handle the logistics. With PartsBox clients are now "forced" to give costing of all components they buy and this gives us also a better understanding of the overall product costs. This, in turn, helps us to make better design changes to reduce costs.
Pros: The software is very easy and intuitive to use. I like the meta part concept. We often buy different parts (depending on price) for the same conceptual part. The database was nicely designed. I also like the fact that projects can be used sub-assemblies. Clearly, a lot of thought went into this software. Well done!
Cons: Not really found any specific issues up to now.
