Research Labs & Student Teams
Spend more time building. Less time tracking down parts.
University labs and student teams have real engineering ambitions but limited admin bandwidth. Boltline gives research teams and competition teams a professional-grade hardware system without the enterprise price tag.

The Problem
University teams face unique hardware challenges.
Budget Accountability
Track hardware spend against allocated budgets per project or team, with exportable reports for lab advisors and sponsors.
Team Turnover
Knowledge shouldn’t walk out with graduating students. Boltline preserves every BOM and sourcing decision for the next cohort.
Parts Sharing Between Teams
Shared inventory across labs and student orgs with check-out tracking so parts don’t go missing between semesters.
Competition Deadlines
BOMs and procurement visibility timed against competition calendars so teams know what’s ordered, what’s arrived, and what’s still outstanding.
Purpose-Built Features
Boltline for University
Set per-project budgets and see spend in real time as POs are created and received.
Multiple team members with role-based access — advisors, leads, and members each see what they need.
Lab-wide component library that all teams can draw from, with inventory check-out and return tracking.
Track orders from submission through delivery so teams always know what’s on the way and when to expect it.
Starter BOM templates for common student projects — FSAE car, drone, CubeSat, robotic arm — to hit the ground running.
One-click export of spend summaries and hardware lists formatted for lab advisors and corporate sponsors.
Standards & Compliance
Boltline is designed to support your documentation and audit requirements across these frameworks.
Our FSAE team went from a chaotic Google Sheet to having a real inventory system. We actually knew what we had for competition day.
