Boltline is for hands-on builders of advanced hardware – designers, engineers, assemblers, testers, and operators. No two days are the same with this team — one moment, team members are reviewing a 3D electronics model, the next, they’re additive manufacturing a valve body, then spending some quality time inside structures with a torque wrench. Boltline helps people stay organized through changing tasks, physical components, and teamwork.

Any product made of parts! We know spacecraft really well, but we’re just as excited to help people make vehicles, medical devices, robotics, scientific instruments, and infrastructure of all kinds. In our world, we balance extreme design rigor with ad-hoc workbench innovations. If that’s you too, get in touch. Boltline can help.

Unlike CAD, PDM, or PLM, Boltline helps you with real-world parts, procedures, and sites as your team iterates toward final hardware delivery. Boltline is your living bill of materials, and keeps everyone on the same page. Change the design? No problem, Boltline is also a next-gen engineering traveler to help you revise parts inventory, kits, assemblies, and procedures. For integration with PLM or your designs, Boltline supports a range of connectors and APIs. Let us know your situation.

Distinct from accounting and process management tools, Boltline was created for daily engineering in studios, shop floors, and test sites. These are the places where hardware and best practices are made. Boltline’s tools are for frontline doers, but they also integrate with the business. For example, purchase orders can be reconciled automatically with available ERP connectors or the Boltline API.

Boltline runs on your data. You define part libraries and work plans with your naming conventions, metadata, and visual media. You can import or integrate inventory data. And you can attach documents or certificates anytime. Don’t worry if you’re starting with a blank sheet, you can author in Boltline’s easy-to-use web interfaces, then export what you create.

As parts flow, assemblies are made, and tests are performed, Boltline remembers it all. Boltline is the historian that traces operations associated with a single part or an entire as-built configuration. Use it to verify use of approved components and procedures at any time. During production, you’ll know if your BOMs are tracking to policies. When it’s time for customer signoffs, Boltline gives everyone confidence in the delivered product.

Yes! You can support non-employees by managing their user accounts directly within Boltline or via SSO controls. Or contact us to create organization-to-organization connections between your suppliers’ Boltline system and yours. In that case, you can limit suppliers or external partners to an agreed scope of work or component workflow.
