The modern way to coordinate designs, parts, and people
Boltline is the cloud-based engineering toolset that helps you create new hardware. No legacy IT systems, spreadsheet chaos, or roll-your-own efforts required.
Ideate and iterate
Run smart engineering, prototyping, and build practices even before you know your final design
You need your hardware configuration and manufacturing capabilities to advance together. Boltline helps engineering teams continuously improve by tracking everything in one place.
Hardware
Parts are the heart of your business, and Boltline captures a complete picture of designs, inventory, and fully configured assemblies. Attachments, collaboration, and changes are annotated directly on each record, and QR-code based labels make part marking simple. Anyone can see and add to a part’s history with just a click.
Parts Library
The Parts Library manages your part references and relationships, including what we call the eBOM (engineering BOM). You always know how each part fits together, whether for custom assemblies or serially manufactured hardware. Parts are searchable, even when you’re on the go.
Inventory
Inventory tracks every individual part and its data during its entire lifetime, even after it’s pulled off the shelf and installed. Boltline is your digital historian that always knows real-world configurations, expressed as an aBOM (as-built BOM). Query any part history with a simple QR code.
Work
In Boltline, designers, mechanical teams, manufacturing leads, supply chain pros, and even contractors participate in the build process with a single experience. Defining Workflows or Work Plans is intuitive and self-service, so everyone can share their best practices.
Workflows
Workflows offer a straightforward, no-code pattern for automating activities that include a mix of human tasks, physical components, and data. Workflows are great for describing shop orders or standard jobs you want performed consistently across sites.
Work Plans
As a Work Plan user, you can compose or follow virtually any procedure associated with your project. Better than a static manufacturing traveler, Work Plans offer an app-like experience with instructions, images, checklists, sketches, and even triggered workflows.
Supply Chain
Coordinating inbound material is a challenge that is naturally hard to centralize. Boltline unifies all open orders and creates digital inventory records the moment an order is placed. Optional integrations automate communication with suppliers, so buyers can spend more time focusing on what matters.
Orders
Boltline’s Orders function creates a single pane of glass for your entire supply chain, including traditional purchase orders as well as orders sourced from retailers. Traceability starts the moment an order is entered, allowing digital planning to begin before parts arrive. ERP connectors allow data to flow automatically to Quickbooks, Xero, Acumatica, or other accounting systems – no manual copy/pasting needed.
