Managing electronic parts often requires multiple people to access the same inventory database. This might include different roles within a company (design engineers, lab technicians, production staff) or collaboration between separate organizations (like a design firm working with a contract manufacturer).
Real-Time Updates for All Users
All commercial PartsBox plans include multi-user access with real-time database synchronization. When any user makes changes to the inventory—adding parts, removing stock, or updating information—these changes appear immediately for all other logged-in users without needing to refresh. This eliminates the need for manual refreshing or reloading, ensuring that everyone has access to the most up-to-date information at all times.
For example:
Each PartsBox organization (database) in lab/workshop and company plans includes a default admin user. Additional users can be added according to plan limits, and users above the plan limit can be added at extra cost. Any PartsBox account holder can be invited to join an organization with one of these access levels:
The Company plan and higher offers Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): a powerful feature that allows you to define roles with specific, granular permissions and then assign these roles to users.
PartsBox user accounts are strictly personal and cannot be shared between users. A single user account must correspond to a single person. If you need access for more users in your organization than the plan allows, please buy additional user slots.
PartsBox customers use multi-user access in various ways:
Multi-user access helps organizations improve collaboration, maintain accurate inventory records, and make parts management more efficient across teams and partnerships.
