I'm looking for a good affordable Electronic Parts Inventory Management Software. I've been looking at Bomist, PartsBox, and Parts in Place. Has anyone used any of these, what are thye Pros & Cons, and what one would you recommend. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks |

Hi 'newbie' !! Sorry you had no replies for your very 1st post !!... I thought I found a great alternative, that is Open-Source and totally free !.... However, I finally found out it is Unix/Linux based, and not for Windows. :P In case anyone is interested, it is called... "PartKeepr" ( https://www.partkeepr.org ) It does everything you wanted, (like PartsBox) and more ! It even interfaces via a free API account to https://octopart.com , where you can have auto links to all components specs/datasheets/images etc, from within the system !! ( https://octopart.com/api/home ) Hope you have a good day, all the same. Your questions are as important as any!! :D |

Your reply is very much appreciated, thank you for helping out a NEWBIE to the forum. It makes me feel most welcome. I'm in the process of evaluating several Electronic Parts Management Systems. I'm trying to get Partkeepr to run on my Hosted Server, no luck yet. I've also tried running it on easyPHP DevServer, still no luck. I'm entertaining setting up my own Linux server again, and trying it out on it. I presently run both Windows 10 and Linux on my computer. I can boot into either OS. I'm running Linux Mint and Ubuntu, and have an additional partition that I can run a server on. Thanks again for your help it was much appreciated. |

No problem, you can run any Linux based software on windows, it's easy and cool https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 |

Thank You for the suggestion, and the link. I thought about doing just that. I do however have Linux already installed as a dual boot option, and of course I could run it on a Virtual Machine also. Again thank you for your reply, I really appreciate your response. |
